“Wenn es einmal soweit ist”
Original Artwork
One of a kind, and released as part of a collection of 10 unique original artworks, this piece was created using Gregor Hildebrandt’s signature rip-off technique.

He then peels each piece off one-by-one, sticking it onto another skateboard to create a “negative”.

In this case, the song is Die Ärtze by Madonnas Dickdarm, prompting the lyrically inspired name “WENN ES EINMAL SOWEIT IST”.
