the drawing, amongst others, was made for a Mercedes campaign
in 2008, on behalf of Moskito in Bremen.
it was rejected because the guy was too ugly, they said.
well, now he finally has a purpose.

Pharaos and Mummies

last year i illustrated a non-fiction book for children by Volker Präkelt for ARENA.
it's called "Guck nicht so, Pharao" and part of the "BAFF-Wissen" series.

here are some illustrations and pages from the book.
it features the scarab Chep and the cameleon Leon that lead you through the book
and tell you funny and interesting things about ancient egypt and the people that lived there.

composition and layout was done by the publisher.

Santa Maria

sketch for a new MISANTHROPES CC support shirt




Overdose

found this in an old blackbook, the date says it was done in November 2000.
funny, i completely forgot about this one.
i think i have to start using cheap felt pens again, the look is unbeatable.
but maybe this time i skip using the other things that brought this picture about.

Impatience

to visit a certain someone
when i drew this last year.

Bogumil Part 2

more sketches





The Devils

lower "hell" side of the "Three Commandments" board.
unfortunately the card stacks had to be placed somewhere on the board,
so i couldn't draw real boss devils down there, but i still like the
stone faces and the suffering infidels.

A Picture Book

i drew a picture book
to get my diploma in 2007.
it's based on a grotesque story from 1913,
written by Hermann Harry Schmitz.
he shot himself 6 month later.
"Onkel Bogumil Trinkt" traces the decay
of a convinced alcoholic accompanied
by the appearance of white mice.
