Left Hand Joe

drawings from a shoot-em-up online game for the Sparkasse i made for GfG Bremen in 2009.



Copics and Silver Markers Part II

'98 must have been when i discovered the 3rd dimension...
i remember exactly where i sat when i did this.
old drawings are like time machines sometimes.
and i really wonder who told us to write all that stupid stuff
next to the pictures... 


Are We There Yet?

another illustration that was printed in Gruenschnabel magazine.

Daddy's Making Monsters

ideas at the touch of a button?
simple as that.
thanks to my evil idea recharger that i built in the back garden shed
during a thunder storm at night earlier this summer.
muhahahaaaa.




Copics and Silver Markers

from the late 90s crate. i can hardly read them any more...

Honey Honey

since i know someone who is a beekeeper now,
i recently had the chance to design some neat little labels for his honey.
it's delicious!

photos of the dummy glas.
of course the professional printed labels do not have the handcut edges anymore, but i like the look...



Cookies

Cowboy Bean

Uwe Moelter of Amigo asked me to take part in a charity project
for the Bohnanza anniversary and draw a picture of a kidney bean.
since a kidney bean was always called a cowboy bean when i was a child,
this came out.
the original drawing will be for sale at one of the charity auctions.

Weird Old Things

for a good friend and that it used to hang on his wall in black and white.

strange.

Filter Project

here are some drawings i did for a recent project, a logo development for a coffee bar.
i worked on it together with  Phillipp Doerrie , a good friend and great graphic artist and illustrator.
unfortunately the whole thing got canceled due to a change of plans on the part of the client,
but i still like the feel of the construction drawings, so i show them here.
they are all earlier stages of the development.

early doodle

first letter construction, the client had asked for art-déco elements...

adding details, this was of course only the mother logo and would be simplified in later steps
closer look at the handlettering

early test logo, already simplified a lot




More Motortalk

Motortalk

some nice cartoon drawings i did for a trailer
for the online message board "motortalk.de" in 2010.
i love the bluntness of the characters.

view the clip here

the flash programming was done by someone else,
but i don't know who it was. i just drew the frames.





Beer

little brewery logos i made for the 2F board game "Fürstenfeld"

Spain

i drew this for Klein & Halm Berlin some time ago as a cover design pitch for a spanish dictionary.
olé. makes me think about holidays as a kid.
everytime i spotted the giant bull on the hills next to the motorway,
i knew it wouldn't be long until we reached the camp ground. i wonder if it's still there...




Good Morning

i hope everyone's weekend was as fantastic as mine.

La Famiglia Part 2

Fashion Stuff

the second one was not completely serious, of course, but i love it.

La Famiglia Part 1

when the 2F game "La Famiglia" was produced, my friend Maura asked me if i
wanted to paint the background artworks. i wanted to. since they are always quite
invisible behind Mauras characters and the cards are so small, i want to show them
here again, because i really like them.

sketch of Bellini's fruit store (first steps)

the sleazy right wing lap dance bar that owns some more rooms upstairs

the dirty little super market that was vandalized by some mysterious graffiti crew

the backyard dentist and Al's reputable auto service

Sonntag

more old stuff,
since i don't have anything new at the moment that i can already post here...

a comic, based on another story of  H.H.Schmitz called "Das Verliehene Buch"
(the lent book) that i drew in 2005 to show it on the book fair in Leipzig.

it's called "Sonntag".
