Born in East Berlin in 1958
Michael Dressel spent his time behind
the Iron Curtain painting, photographing and cavorting with
fellow dissidents. After trying to escape from the East by
climbing the Wall and being caught he was send to prison for
two years. Upon completion of this exercise in character building
and more troubles with the authorities, they realized he had
become too much of a nuisance and kicked him out of the workers
paradise. Two years in West Berlin followed before he was
washed up on the shores of Los Angeles were he is still toiling
in obscurity.
