Finnish illustrator Josefine Aspvik has for knack turning Berliner\u2019s bad habits into good art. Drawing her inspiration from Berlin nightlife, she creates comics with frank text and razor-sharp lines that aesthetically embody the city they respond to. The humor of the comics lies not in satire, but in their brutally honest characterisation of the style, sound and rituals of Berlin youth culture and its powerful draw.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\nAspvik’s comics illustrate a hedonistic world that to outsiders may seem upside-down \u2014 where the best parties are on Monday mornings, \u201cbroke\u201d people can always afford club entry, and mullets are taken seriously. They remind us that Berlin\u2019s dance floors, filled with communists in Vetements and artists that make no art, were the birthplace a community which celebrates its ability to contradict itself. With each of Aspvik’s characters inspired by an actual person, the drawings maintain an undeniable sense of familiarity to anyone well acquainted with the party circuit. Weekly raver or not, the drive to self-destruct is all too relatable. <\/span>
\nWe worked with Josefine to identify the funniest contradictions that fan the flames of Berlin nightlife, and the bad habits Berliners can\u2019t seem to kick.<\/span><\/p>\n
