Jasiator Dyjabel, Brooklyn 2011

Jasiator Dyjabel (aka Jan Pencakowski) - probably tho best known devil in New York City. Specialized in sculpture restoration, Pencakowski turns the ideas of New York artists into reality by managing the production of large-scale installations and sculptures. His recent work includes Will Ryman's Anyone and no one and The Roses, and Rob Pruitt's The Andy Monument. While successfully developing his career in New York City, Pencakowski has not abandoned his other talents: bar crawling with the devil traditionally results in morning amnesia.

Without those two, the Swiss Alps wouldn't exist. And if they did exist, they wouldn't be the same. And even if they were the same, WE certainly wouldn't know them the way we do. They're one infinite source of inspiration: expert mountain guides, addicted to skiing and rock climbing with VERY little respect for ski resorts and easy options. We're hungry for more - once circumstances allow - but please, don't put any more mice into other people's trousers!!!

Ann McCormack, Schwebach (L) 2009

Ann McCormack, singer, actress, dancer and songwriter, whose music style is impossible to pigeon-hole, ranging from classical, through world music, to pop and contemporary jazz. Educated in the US and Italy, she has won numerous awards and starred as Maria in the 50th Anniversary European Tour of West Side Story (dir. Joey McKneely).

Apart from having an amazing voice and great hair, she is also a beautiful person and a perfect housemate- especially when she sings under the Luxembourgish moon or - even more so - when she makes chocolate chip cookies and leaves them on the kitchen table for those who are too sleepy to resist the temptation first thing in the morning… (txt by EwaM)
