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!

Find the podcast HERE or wherever you get your podcasts.

Tracht Man - variant cover

I had a lot of fun drawing this variant cover for an upcoming issue of the Bavarian cult superhero comic book "Tracht Man" by Chris Kloiber (Plem Plem Productions):

The inks:

The initial sketch:

You can buy the book sometime in 2025.

Dreck & Gold #77

In the newest installment of our podcast Dreck & Gold, Eve Jay, Haiko Hörnig & I talk about "Deadpool and Wolverine" and a couple of superhero news items from SDCC 2024.

Here's my cover illustration for this episode:

New Self Portrait

It‘s been a few years since I drew a self portrait, so I thought it was time for a new one.

 

New Trek & Gold

Eve Jay & I are returning to our Star Trek podcast "Trek & Gold" to review the 5th season of Star Trek: Discovery.

Here's my new cover illustration:

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:

Holiday card

This year my girlfriend Katja Klengel and I made a holiday card together. Katja drew the sketch, I did the final lineart & colors.

Happy holidays, everyone!

Radio Nukular #205

I made a new podcast cover illustration for Radio Nukular episode 205: "LAN-Partys"

Here's just the lineart:

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!

2024, Fuck Yeah!

A few weeks ago, I drew my annual illustration for Schlogger's "Fuck Yeah" calendar, and like last year, it again features some characters from my recent JAZAM! comic “Murki's Big Day”.

Here it is:

The calendar features 59 different artists and a cover by Simone Grünewald

The calendar is out now and can be ordered from Kwimbi. There's also a cheaper, smaller version.
