This was for a comic contest in Switzerland. Drawing comics is hard work. This me trying to be crass and arty, which is hard if you earn your money be making children’s books. Sigmund Freud would have loved this comic (and would have started to follow my blog…)
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.

The trailer I did for Schlossfestspiele Ludwigsburg is finally online. The client is a festival for mainly classical music.
If you want to see the peperatory sketches and learn more about this project….
These are the sketches for a commercial for Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele (a festival for mostly for classical music) designed to be shown in cinemas arround Stuttgart. I have spent a little too much on these hand drawn sketches, because it was pretty obvious that the client was going to choose the photo collage style used on its website. I haven´t found it on the web yet, but I will post a link as soon as I find it. the character did exist beforehand. I did almost everything else. The last picture in the gallery is the final look.
Thanks to Studio Fitzbin and Mareike Ottrand. Sound and music by Hannah von Hübbenet.
Some more illustrations I did for Hans grohe last year.
A new book for children age 6-8 (children who just start learning how to read) has been published by Random House which I have illustrated last year. I will show some more Illustrations when I am sure that the book is available in bookstores. The story by Patricia Schröder is about a family holiday on a houseboat.
Some illustrations I did for Hans Grohe last year. It is just layout.
I finally updated my showreel…. After I did more Illustration than animation recently there will be a batch of new animation soon, so I will have to edit once more.
