Flyer for the “Ice-Bear” or “Klapse” club in Frankfurt-October 1982 (Ink on cardboard, Dirk Marwig 1982)

-Those were the days when all publicity images was still hand drawn or simply just photographed, the days before computer images- a long time ago!
This is a flyer I did when I was 22 (for the club I worked at in Frankfurt,Germany)during my moves to NYC. I would fly back to Frankfurt and pick up some stuff I needed in New York and see my friends who were club owners and who gave me some design work to do while in town. The Club was called ”Eis Bear”(Polar Bear) or “Klapse”(Mental Institution) because the decor was all white and the music a mix of “Neue Deutsche Welle” plus Disco. It was a fun place to go to. The owner and main DJ of the club was Michael Muenzing, who later on produced “Snap”, a late 1980′s early 1990′s pop group. Michael Muenzing was also the main DJ in the DORIAN GRAY “small room” that featured R+B/Funk Music, apposed to the DORIAN GRAY main room that featured “BIJAN”(my DJ inspiration-he was the BEST), who played EVERYTHING that was hot(The LARRY LEVIN of Europe)…with elegance,style and POWER.
Michael Muenzing was also later on part owner the famous club “OMEN”, where Sven Väth got his chance(because there was nobody else around) to shine, I guess. Hence a star was born(or artificially produced).
