Join us in celebrating the 5-year anniversary of Reinhard Schmid's iconic centerpiece, the "SmackMan"! 🎉 It all began in 1998 when Reinhard crafted a masterpiece using his unique technique, blending graphite pencil, watercolor, and acrylics on the reverse side of glass. This artwork, titled "Siebenmeilenschnecke," marked the genesis of a remarkable journey.
For the 5 Year Anniversary, Reinhard Schmid assembled an exceptional group of talented artists known as "The Smack Pack." Each artist, including Arne Spangereid, Basileus, basseado, George Boya, Buzzlightning, Hair of Medusa, Coldie, Decryptolorian, Gala Mirissa, and many others, pays tribute to Reinhard Schmid and his art.
