What the fuck is Coworking? If you always work from home, like me in pyjamas having breakfast for diner, this is harder to understand let alone image.

So one day when I decided to leave home, for another reason then going to Liddle, I ended up in the Betahaus...a Coworking space. I got intrigued. I got even more excited when they asked me to design a flyer for the Berlin Coworking week. Anything I wanted. I was well up for that. The only thing was that it had to be done in a day, this was the hardest part- together with the drawing of a vomiting child I initially wanted to use and they were not so happy with.

From 13.9 till 19.9 is in Germany the National Coworking week: www.coworking.de
The list of Berlin locations and events is almost complete... so part of the front and back of the flyer will stay a secret till after the Festival. Who needs it anyway when you have a lobster?

A lill explanation: All sorts of insects work, crawl and try to survive in the same environment, like on Karl-Marx Strasse. Some have jobs, other h4 and others have no real boss. These so-called "free-bugs" are not always able or happy to work from home...but dont have an office. Lobster (god of the workers) sets them free to discover new Coworking spaces. At the same time he thinks of his girlfriend Miss Lice... they always have wonderful networking phone calls. The Coworking structure has it's roots in the Berlin event agenda that start underneath.

So you know

Thanks mister Morris. The day-time-plan is finished but has to be approved by someone that is way to busy. Suspect they just cancel the whole thing.x
