PEACE. Yo, what a schnitzel. Audaces fortuna iuvat.

Welcome to my website and my funky business at www.bomber.de. It´s built up like a encyclopedia which means the structure of this site is more like a net than hierarchic. My name is Helge Steinmann (my history) and since 1988 I have been am a well- known professional style- defining Graffiti- writing Aerosol- and Street-artist and designer in Hofheim am Taunus, between Frankfurt am Main and Wiesbaden in Germany in Europe.

I was never one to follow others and in the early days of German graffiti I gained international acclaim for my illegal artistic performance around Europe.I am still well known for my technique, skills , my speed, my humor and my innovative subversive artistic power to paint with the spraycan. I have been a model for a few generations of graffitiwriting artists. Outside the graffitiwriting art movement I am wel lknown and actively design in public and private sectors; profit and non-profit.


My tag and artist name (tag-signature) is "BOMBER™" and I am representing the art crews FBI™ · GBF™ · TRD · SUK™ · SAA · DBL™ and YCP™.

I am also member of the boards

AGD – Alliance of German Designers
BDG – Bund Deutscher Grafikdesigner
IO – Illustrator Organisation e.V.
EGU – European Graffiti Union, founded in 1986 in Munich by Prof. Peter Kreutzer.
EINWANDFREI e.V. – society for art in public

I've worked both as an artist and a creative director for different companies which specialise in advertising and designing.


My aim is to bring advertising, design and art together.I 'd like people to recognise that art, design and advertising are three different words for one thing: That means to use design to solve problems. My personal Skills are: B2C, B2B, creating brand names, corporate identity, art direction, package design,   graffiti event planning and customizing products as part of an event or incentive.

My main skills are in: GRAFFITI ART - STYLEWRITING, DESIGN and ILLUSTRATION, customer relationships, project coordination, conceptioning and curation of exhibitions in the graffitiwriting sector.

Why did I choose the name "Bomber™"? When I started my work in Aerosol art / Graffitiwriting in 1988, I was in Paris, France, and I saw a lot of tags (signatures) everywhere made by a Graffiti artist / writer called "Boxer". I was looking for a name which sounded similar and I found "Bomber™". Later, somebody told me that the meaning of the word bomber means to paint a lot of graffiti: the name was destined for me. There is no political or sociological intent in this definition. ”Graffiti is music 4 your eyes!” © Bomber 1988
