A drawing I did for an exhibition. I used the original photograph instead in the end. But actually I like it, although artistically this is a drawing that is slightly to dependant on the original photo.

The German caption says: “…even superheroes need coffee.” I don´t know who came up with this slogan, but it was a good excuse for making this picture. I can think of loads of variations.

I did this for a friend, as wedding present for her daughter who loves sloths (who doesn´t?). It is a drawing glued to the dust page of my book “Tierisch verliebt”.

Basically I can´t post the stuff I am working on. New stuff is going to come come soon.
I just received the deposit copies of the Chinese versions of books I illustrated two or three years ago. It always amuses me when I hear, that book I worked on has been sold to Asia, because it reminds me of the eighties when mediocre rock bands who were past their prime often found a safe haven in Japan, hence the old Alphaville song Big in Japan. Perhaps I am big in China or Korea (who knows).
I wondered what they would do with the map of Germany with tips for dinosaur related activities (they just kept it). I would love to know what the text says, so if you can speak Chinese contact me…
Another decoration for the wall of the bedroom of a friend´s child….
