From 1981 on he was “allowed” to do several professional artistic jobs, but it was not until 1986 that he as caricaturist became a member of the Association of Fine Artists in the GDR.
After the Fall of the Wall he founded “edition Karte’ll” and published his own postcards as well as some of other artists with whome he was friends. After the great exhibition “Mail Art – Osteuropa im internationalen Netzwerk” (M.A. – Eastern Europe in the international network) in 1996, he sold his Mail Art archive to the State Museum in Schwerin. Still he kept contact with many mail partners, he wrote four to five letters per day and showed his art in “small format” in various exhibitions.
