My new comic: HeavySaurus

My new comic was just announced!

The official comic about kid-friendly heavy-metal band "HeavySaurus", drawn and scripted by me, will be published in the fall by major German comics publisher Carlsen and can be pre-ordered now.

Here's the cover illustration: 


Synopsis (in German):

Eines Tages, hoch oben auf dem magischen Berg DINO ROCK, gab sich die verrückte Hexe RUPULINA ganz ihrer geheimen Leidenschaft hin: Sie drehte die Lautsprecher bis zum Anschlag auf und spielte schrille Solos auf ihrer schwarzen Flying-V Stromgitarre. Die magischen Klänge ihres Instruments ließen ein grollendes Gewitter aufziehen und bald schlug ein Blitz ins Millionen Jahre alte Bergmassiv ein. Rupulina staunte nicht schlecht als sich eine Felsspalte auftat und aus fünf bunten Urzeit-Eiern vier Dinos und ein Drache schlüpften.

MR. HEAVYSAURUS, MILLI PILLI, KOMPPI MOMPPI, MUFFI PUFFI und der Drache RIFFI RAFFI lernen von ihrer Ziehmutter Heavy Metal zu spielen und zu lieben. Schnell entsteht der Traum, Konzerte zu spielen und noch mehr Menschen für den Metal zu begeistern. Doch Rupulina erlaubt den Heavysauriern nicht, sich den Menschen zu zeigen. Werden sie es trotzdem schaffen, ihr erstes Konzert zu feiern?

Lesespaß für kleine und große Metalheads.

I'm excited! Now I just have to finish drawing the thing...

Trek & Gold #78

 Eve Jay & I recorded a new episode of our podcast on the disastrous Star Trek streaming movie "Section 31", and I drew a new cover illustration. Using the color palette from the movie's marketing images was a lot of fun!

Podcast cover for Gert

My grandpa (writer and voice actor Gert Heidenreich) turned 80 a couple of weeks ago, so the family came together and recorded a special birthday podcast for him. The podcast isn't available to the public, but I can show you the cover illustration I drew:

New Ruthe backgrounds

Over the past few months, I got to once again contribute some background art for animated videos by Ralph Ruthe.

These were for the newest installment of "Biber & Baum":




And this one was for a new video based on the very funny HNO-WG audio play by Ralph and Haiko Hörnig:

Animated Movie Background Art

One of the backgrounds I painted for an animated movie I really hope we get to make:


It's for Ralph Ruthe's "HNO WG" movie (script by Ralph & Haiko Hörnig). We've been working on it (off and on) for 2+ years and now it seems very likely it will finally get the green light soon. Fingers crossed!

After 17 years, 15 books, and various specials, we just put out our final volume of German indie comics anthology JAZAM!

We launched a successful Kickstarter campaign last fall and finally got the finished books from the printer's a week ago. I just finished shipping all of the rewards today.

I contributed a 25-page queer fantasy adventure/romance story called "Murkis großer Tag". Here's a 2-page spread from the comic:

Some photos of my pages in the book:




The book contains comics & illustrations from 33 other artists and is 240 pages in full color. If you missed the Kickstarter, you can order the book now from Kwimbi

2023, Fuck Yeah!

After taking a year off, I once again participated in Schlogger's annual "Fuck Yeah" calendar last year and created this illustration featuring some characters from my upcoming JAZAM! comic “Murki's Big Day”.

I just gave an interview (in German) to Comicgate about the illustration and my comic. (including a preview page from the comic and some work in progress scribbles for the illu)

The calendar is out now and can be ordered from Kwimbi.
