Dentist's Mascot

 A few months ago, I got to design a couple of mascot characters for a new Berlin dentists' practice:

And some early design sketches:

Heavysaurus audio plays #5 & #6 & #7 & #8

There are four new Heavysaurus audio plays out called "Crazy Road", "und der magische Berg", "In der Schule", and "Beim Lass Knacken-Festival", and once again I got to draw the covers:

Announcement: Heavysaurus vol. 2

It's not out until December & I still have a lot of pages left to draw, but today I can announce that I'm working on the 2nd volume of the official Heavysaurus comic!

Here's the cover:

You can already pre-order it at the Carlsen website.

Here's the (German) synopsis:

Metal-Dinos in der Falle – ein Abenteuer voller Musik und Freundschaft!

Die Dino-Metal-Band HEAVYSAURUS ist voller Vorfreude: Nach ihrem erfolgreichen Schulkonzert wollen sie endlich zusammen mit ihrem Manager Tommy ihr erstes Album aufnehmen. Während eines Interviews kreuzen sich jedoch ihre Wege mit Richard Hamann, dem ehrgeizigen Besitzer des neuen Vergnügungsparks Crazyland. Er unterbreitet ihnen ein verlockendes Angebot – so verlockend, dass die Dinos einem Besuch im Park schließlich zustimmen. Doch was als harmloser Ausflug beginnt, entpuppt sich schnell als Falle. Hinter Hamanns freundlicher Fassade verbergen sich dunkle Pläne, und ehe sie sich versehen, sind Mr. Heavysaurus, Riffi Raffi, Milli Pilli, Muffi Puffi und Komppi Momppi in Crazyland gefangen. Eine actionreiche Verfolgungsjagd durch den Park beginnt, bei der die Dinos alle Tricks und Attraktionen des Crazylands nutzen müssen. Werden sie es schaffen Hamann und seinen Wachmännern zu entkommen?

Trek & Gold: Starfleet Academy

Over three episodes of our podcast Trek & Gold, Eve Jay & I have recapped and discussed the first season of the new Star Trek show, Starfleet Academy.

Here's the new cover illustration I made for it:

And here's the playlist containing all three episodes.

Kids' book pitch art

Since last summer, I'm being represented by the wonderful agency Literaturagentur Arteaga. Here's some kids' literature-related character art for pitches and jobs I've worked on with them.

Heavysaurus promo flyer

To promote the comic and audio plays at Heavysaurus concerts, I designed this flyer with an abbreviated version of the comic prologue:

Trek & Gold: Strange New Worlds

Eve and I finally got around to podcasting about the most recent Star Trek show: Strange New Worlds.

We recorded one podcast episode for each of the three seasons. Here's my cover illustration:

The (German) podcasts are on Soundcloud and on most of your common podcatcher apps (plus YouTube).

HeavySaurus audio play #4

The fourth Heavysaurus audio play is out now. (Listen here.) Once again I got to draw the cover illustration - and pay homage to Ozzy (RIP). 

I also made black-and-white versions of all 4 cover illustrations as coloring pages for kids:

2026, Fuck Yeah!

After taking last year off, I was happy to once again participate in Schlogger's new "Fuck Yeah!" calendar for 2026, featuring beautiful art from 58 awesome illustrators.

I guess after Heavysaurus, I've still got the dinosaur bug.

I have a few of these to sell, so send me an e-mail if you want a signed one! (prices: 22€ big / 12€ small)

HeavySaurus audio plays

In addition to the official comic, I also got to draw cover art for a series of HeavySaurus audio plays. The episodes are all written and directed by Thilo Gosejohann and the first three episodes were just released on May 9. Get them HERE.

Here are my covers:

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!
