Together with cameraman Peter Kasparek, Elizabeth T. Spira portrayed the lives of the Danube Islanders in 1996 with an unmistakable handwriting and great attention to detail. Gerhard, a dishwasher by profession, can be seen training on the Danube Island every day. His dream: a career as a dancer. Zheng Jian, a Chinese native from Floridsdorf, is also practicing hard because he wants to become Europe's best skater. Gerhard spends his vacation on the Danube Island with his two children and his wife. The carpenter doesn’t think much of continuing: “Too expensive and too stressful.” Erich is a conservationist. He rides the island's paths on his bike, constantly vigilant and on the lookout for “natural pests”. The island controller finds the use of weapons tricky, but he always has a pistol with him. Gerhard also spends the summer on the Danube Island. He used to be a waiter in a coffee house, but today he is a dropout. Known as “Pumuckl” of Lobau, he philosophizes about the meaning of life. Mr. Walter, a pensioner, dances naked in the pub garden, wearing only his rollerblades. He thinks about his thoughts - for example about his pension and that of politicians. Rudi, a former long-distance truck driver, is also a nudist with heart and soul. He divides people into “good and bad” – the “naked” are good and the “peeping toms” are bad. Foreigners are welcome as long as they adapt to local customs and “as long as they take off their clothes”.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced press reporting politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it is "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
