VIDEODROME Poster

For an upcoming special screening presented by my publisher Zwerchfell, I was asked to illustrate a poster for one of my favorite movies of all time, David Cronenberg's VIDEODROME.

I made two versions of the poster - one for the event at Harmonie & Cinema in Frankfurt on October 09, 2019, and a "neutral" version just for me.

You can buy a print of the first version at the event. The proceeds go to Sea-Watch!

Here's just the ink drawing:

And just the drawing of Debbie Harry from the tv screen:

Animal Character Designs

Some character designs for an upcoming kids' comic project I've been working on:

Paluten Freedom: Der Golemkönig

Earlier this year, I got to work on a pretty cool comic based on the Minecraft characters by popular German YouTuber Paluten. The story is by Haiko Hörnig, line art by Irina Zinner, and colors by Eve Jay (flats) and myself (finishes). It was a lot of fun and the book turned out nicely and is already a best-seller! You can order it here.

Check it out if a funny all-ages fantasy adventure sounds like something you'd enjoy!

Some pages (which I did color):

I already signed a few books for some folks:

The new JAZAM!

For 13 years now, my co-editors and I have been putting out the German indie comics anthology JAZAM!, but this year we thought we'd try something different: rather than assembling stories from dozens of different artists, we picked just one.

David Füleki has continuously contributed awesome short comics to JAZAM! for many years now, and we thought it would be great if people could read all of them in one place. He also liked this idea, and so he reworked and expanded them, drew new introduction comics for most of them, and added a few fun stories that were previously unpublished or published in other anthologies.

I myself got to color one of my favorite comics of his, "Beppo Biber".

Here's the cool cover for "The Best (and Worst) of David Füleki":

And a page from "Beppo Biber" with my colors:

Radio Nukular #100

I got to do the cover for Radio Nukular's 100th podcast episode about time travel:

And here's just the line art:

Trek & Gold season 2

It's already been a few weeks since we finished the second season of our podcast "Trek & Gold", but I just realized that I never posted anything about it on this blog.

Just like during the first season, Eve Jay and I did in-depth podcast recaps for every episode of the second season of Star Trek: Discovery. You can check those out on SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, or most other places where you can subscribe to podcasts. For every one of those podcast episodes, I also drew a cover illustration. Here are some of my favorites:

An illustrated logo I recently made for an interesting theater crowdfunding project:

#artvsartist2019

I'm very busy with work right now, so I haven't had much time to work on my own art. I still wanted to post something on the blog, so here's my new #artvsartist for 2019 that I did a little while ago:

Radio Nukular #91

I was asked to do a new Radio Nukular cover for their podcast about the movies of Steven Spielberg:

Here's a look at my rough sketch (I admit I traced some elements like the truck from photos - I'm no good at drawing cars):

Portrait

Happy new year, everybody!

Just before the end of last year, I drew this pic of my girlfriend and me as a christmas parents for some relatives:

Here's the scribble and ink versions:

And here's just me, which I'm using as my new profile pic:

2019, Fuck Yeah! Calendar Illustration

Once again, I was asked to participate in Schlogger's new "Fuck Yeah!" calendar, which every year collects 52 illustrations from many of Germany's most interesting young cartoonists and illustrators.

For my week in mid-December I chose to do something with the two main characters from my upcoming comic for German zombie comics anthology "Die Toten". Here it is:

And here's just the line art:

Check out the cool cover art by Illustrie:

I have a couple of these calendars to sell to you. Send me an e-mail or a message on FB/Insta/Twitter if you want a signed calendar for just 20€ (shipping is free)!

Radio Nukular #84

I made another cover illustration for the popular German nostalgia podcast Radio Nukular. This episode is all about the hip-hop music career of one of their members, Max aka. Rockstah.

Rockstah likes to dress up as The Penguin from Batman, which explains the outfit, and the overall layout is inspired by the album cover for Bob Seger's "Beautiful Loser".
