Tante Alma

comic

I have been working for the new hotel chain Tante Alma Hangout (https://tante-alma-hotels.com/). The idea iss that these hostels have a story about being owned by a fictional character called Aunt Alma, who is kind of a female Captain Blaubär, meaning her stories might be made up but who knows. perhaps Tante Alma was the first human on the moon, the inspiration for James Bond, a famous opera singer, racing driver, and the woman who Jimi Hendrix stole his licks from….

It is great fun. This is the first comic strip I made for them. Apologies to Yoko Ono….

These are the sketches:

Stuttgart mon Amour

A test I made from a drawing I did in Stuttgart.  I like old fashioned comic styles , so I tried, what that would look like…The main difference is that I omitted the numerous cars. I combined two ink drawings and coloured them digitally. Probably the black and white drawing is better, which is a pity, because the coloured version was quite a lot of work.
