Asyl in Deutschland- Die Anhörung

comic, film, illustration, Uncategorized

Yesterday was the premier of Asyl in Deutschland. For which I did the design, direction and most of animation (thanks to Kerstin Unger, Thea Seidler., Meike Teichmann and Daniel Ossio and Fade to Grey). There were lots of people involved, most of them working for free, most notably Philipp Stendebach of Augenschein Film Production whose baby this really was. I am very happy with the result. The film is intended to help asylum seekers to understand the most important part of the whole procedure the personal interview and how to prepare for it. There are versions in 14 different languages.

I guess this is Serbian:

 

There is a lot of work being done with spreading the news arround. by the way although the whole project was pretty delicate (because of the topic) this was absolutly brilliant because of the enthusiasm and spirit of the people involved.

Drache Brokks Sketches and Ink Drawing

illustration, Uncategorized

The publisher (Lappan im Carlsen Verlag) I am working for has allowed me to show the sketches for the book I am working on at Illu16, which are also showcased at the exhibition. My original concept was to show how my pictures evolve. There wasn´t enough space to exhibit these stages, so I am showing this at my blog. This picture was made last weekend. First there are several pencil sketches. I put them together digitally and use this as basis for a drawing with ink and pen. I did a sperate layer using water colour but because I had to finish this very quickly I did part of the coloring digitally.

By the way, no dragons will be harmed during the making of this book (he is just a little sick and is transported to a doctor…)

I am participating in the Illu 16, a show of illustrators from North Rhine-Westphalia. If you´re in Cologne, it is great I have already seen the rest of the exhibition yesterday. As an illustrator it is almost frightening how many talented people seem to be around. But it is also a nice atmosphere, cheap drinks and relaxed people.
