You can see this old house when you're riding Berlin’s Ringbahn train line. If you're going from Treptower Park to Ostkreuz, it's on the left side, right after the bridge over the Spree. The house accommodates a famous Berlin Techno Club called »Salon zur wilden Renate«.

I like the mixture of the decayed building and the modern graffiti. The texture I've used for the wall is the original plaster of the building. I took photos of it with my DSLR to get high-res samples that I used for creating the texture in Photoshop.

My technique: I paint the black lines of the illustrations by hand on my iPad Pro, using a photo I took as reference. Then I finish the pictures in Photoshop, adding color, texture, and the halftone-patterns.
