Sepp of Vienna

”Since my early childhood, drawing has been my biggest passion and strength. While in kindergarten it was still cars and the fascination of the 1950’s; it was during the time of Catholic boarding school that scenes of suffering at the crucifixion of Christ, surrounded by muscular Roman soldiers, prevailed in my study books.

Being a late-bloomer, I came out at 24, when I quickly found my sexual preference to be leather and S&M.

For friends of the LMC Vienna, as well as other international leather clubs and organizations, as Folsom Europe, ECMC - European Conference of Motorcycle Clubs, Tom of Finland Foundation, New York City Gay Men Chorus, Mr.B. Amsterdam, RoB London, Spexter Munich etc. I have produced numerous works of art. I have created a small, exclusive Fine-Art-Edition of my works especially for admirers of men, bears, leather, rubber, uniforms, and S&M. Original prints are produced in a very limited number, printed on heavy handmade paper (format ca. 38 x 56 cm / 15 in x 22 in) and can also be purchased as single pieces.

Also available are handsigned posters, greeting cards, an anniversary- and a perpetual calendar, as well as extensive catalog detailing my work. Definitely a nice gift for friends, masters, slaves or just yourself.”

		Sepp and Frank. June 2011. In recent weeks, my life has changed abruptly. My husband Frank died on 26th of May suddenly and unexpectedly at the hotel during his working mission in Tyrol. After a heart muscle inflammation, he was in treatment and would have 16th of June had an additional check in the hospital in Vienna. In my home town Maissau in Lower Austria found at 11th of June the adoption and urn burial in the crypt instead of my family. At the funeral there were over 250 friends from near and far, from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Eindhoven, Cologne, Zurich, etc., came and it rained a sea of roses. From the flood of responses to the death of my husband, I´m overwhelmed! Frank was born in Dresden and we met in Vienna in 1996 and 1997, he moved in with me. On 1st December 2010 we got married. In August 2011 we wanted to make a big party with family and friends. Heart and suddenly everything is different. Heart of a sudden, two lives have changed.
		How beautiful we had come up with the 115 +1 - Frank would have been on 12.08.2011 forties, I was still in the Sixtieth, fifteen years of combined "roller coaster" and finally almost a year "partnered". The fate decided otherwise. Memories. Be it the bottle of "Krug"; that gave us my cousin and his wife so touching gift on the occasion of our partnering, which is in the kitchen cupboard where I gather every morning my breakfast dishes, or when I go into the garage and Franks bike is without license plate now next to my place, and there are still many moments each day of remembrance. The bed beside me is empty - still empty - unused. And somehow I think what did I do, write thank you emails, is that it? When the movie is over? Is not it just a bad nightmare? No, it´s just "shit". You meet many friends, all concerned are touching, but no one can replace the one, the beloved son of a bitch. This is one that makes itself allegations. You could not even tell one last time. Not "goodbye", not "I love you" say. Or as we used to sometimes "I love you nevertheless!". Somebody said: What should I have done wrong that had happened. I´ve done something wrong, except that I´ve loved a man as he was?
