ORION Pitch

In 2017, Haiko Hörnig and I wrote a spec pitch for a reboot of the German sci-fi classic "Raumpatrouille Orion". We wrote it just for fun, but it actually got us some interest and a meeting with a producer at Bavaria Fiction. Sadly it never went any further than that because of rights issues and competing projects at the same studio.

But maybe you'll enjoy reading it? I still think it's pretty good!

I designed a cover and logo for it:

And edited some actor photos to preview our cast of characters:

Trek & Gold: Discovery Season 3

Eve & I have finished podcasting about Star Trek: Discovery season 3. Listen to the complete season of our (German) podcast Trek & Gold HERE.

Here are a few of the new cover illustrations I drew for it:

Self Portrait Compilation

I noticed that I’ve been drawing comic-style self portraits almost every year for quite a while now, so I made this compilation:

FRITZ!Box Character Designs

Before I drew the 5 episodes of my christmas comics for German wi-fi equipment manufacturer AVM, I had to design the main characters. 

AVM had already done a live-action ad with them, but I got to determine how they looked as comic characters. First, we had to find the right style, so I drew three different versions of main hero Fritz Box: 

They liked version #2 best, and after some minor adjustments, I drew my versions of Power-Liene and Repeater-Pieter:

I hope I get to draw some more comic adventures with this trio in 2021!

FRITZ!Box Comic #5

 My fifth (and final) comic for the FRITZ!Box advent calendar:

Read all five of them on the AVM website.

Happy holidays!

FRITZ!Box Comic #4

My fourth comic for the FRITZ!Box advent calendar:

GELA von Gelnhausen

I colored this cool new kids' comic by Christopher Tauber & Calle Claus (lettering by Stefan Dinter):

FRITZ!Box Comic #3

 My third comic for the FRITZ!Box advent calendar:

All of the comics are also available on AVM's website.

FRITZ!Box Comic #2

 My second comic for the FRITZ!Box advent calendar: 

FRITZ!Box Advent Calendar

I got to draw a fun series of superhero comic strips for Berlin-based wi-fi equipment manufacturer AVM. There’s going to be one episode for every week of December and an extra one for Christmas - here’s the first one: 

The comics are part of their advent calendar, which comes with cool daily prizes! For this, I drew an illustration of the Fritz!Box heroes (aka 'The AVMgers') in holiday garb:

Trek & Gold Continues

I can't show you the other projects I'm working on right now, but what I can show you are some of the new podcast covers I've been drawing for Eve Jay's & my Star Trek podcast Trek & Gold.

Right now, we're discussing Star Trek Discovery season 3, for which I've drawn these:

Before that, I did some more Lower Decks covers like this one:

And for our Patreon, I drew a couple of Lower Decks-style portraits of our patrons:

Pure Fruit anniversary fig

 I drew a fig for the 10th anniversary of German indie comic zine Pure Fruit:

Trek & Gold: Lower Decks

Eve Jay and I are once again podcasting about Star Trek - this time it's about the brand new animated comedy show "Star Trek: Lower Decks", which I'm enjoying a lot. In our first new podcast, we talk about the first two episodes: Trek & Gold 59

For this, I also drew a new cover with the two of us as Lower Decks characters:

If you, too, want to become a Lower Decks character, you can get your own LD portrait on our Patreon.

Jägerinnen

 A recent illustration I made for the website of filmmaker power couple Mo & Melissa Isabell Jäger, jaegerinnen.com:

2021, Fuck Yeah!

Once again, I was asked to join Schlogger's annual "Fuck Yeah" calendar, which contains weekly illustrations by some of Germany's coolest cartoonists and illustrators (and also me).

For this year's edition I collaborated with David Füleki, whose work I've been a fan of for a long time. Roughly speaking, he drew the right half of the picture, I the left half. We both worked on the colors and the original idea came from my gf Katja Klengel.

Because the calendar is supposed to be family-friendly, we made an alternate version without the umbilical cord for it. I prefer the version with the cord, though.

You can now pre-order the calendar at Kwimbi. 

Comicgate.de also has a brief interview with me about my illustration for last year's calendar and current projects.
