The title actually reflects upon “the Erich”, because after I had drawn this outlandish creature I instantly started thinking of absurd figures, and the most intense feeling of absurdity was generated by thinking of the former GDR’s Erich Honecker. Any attempt to make this plausible is doomed to fail. It was just a wacky thought. The image actually got its final form only after I changed it a couple of years later, then becoming completely satisfied in aesthetic terms, as I filled the formerly plain grey background with tiny dots of dominant colors used for the figure itself. This embedding looks like a whiff of crazy confetti mist, is, as I see it, essential for the visual quality of the image.
