A House Divided

In Erlangen, Katja Klengel and I did a short comic reading for an event called "B1tst0rm", where artists were supposed to read some of their favortite webcomics (by other artists). We decided to read a A House Divided short story by Haiko Hörnig & Marius Pawlitza, a great fantasy comic that recently came out as a book. To spice things up, I drew this additional prologue using my Hipsters characters:

This is Katja & me reading the comic:

By the way, I also drew this piece of fan art for the comic's creators' recent birthdays:

Reading Panels

Next Sunday (May 22), there will be another one of our Reading Panels comic readings in Dresden. This time, we'll be reading "Hipsters in Hell" as well as several short comics by Katja Klengel, Tim Gaedke, and Matthias Lehmann. For the second time now, the reading will take place in a movie theater called Schauburg.

To promote the reading, we shot this trailer/short film, starring Katja Klengel, David Koslowski, and myself, and written by Katja & me:

The Facebook event has all the information you need.

Hipsters from the Deep

I know, I know – I told you Hipsters was over. But last Saturday, I participated in a 12-hour comic contest and spontaneously decided to draw an all-new 12-page Hipsters comic for it. I hope you like it!

Hipsters vs. Lesung (Berlin edition)

If you missed last month's reading in Dresden and happen to be in Berlin next week, you get another chance to see Katja, Tim, and me doing a live Hipsters reading.

The reading will be on Tuesday, April 14, at 8:00 pm, at Buchhandlung Montag in Prenzlauer Berg.

Here's the Facebook event.

And the trailer (for the Dresden reading):

The reading is part of the COMICINVASIONBERLIN 2015 satellite program. JAZAM! will have a table at the CIB main event on April 18/19. Come and visit us!

Hipsters vs. Lesung

Have I mentioned that there will be a big Hipsters reading in Dresden next month? It's on March 8 at "Sabotage" Dresden at 6:00 pm. Have a look at the Facebook event for more details.

If you can't make it to Dresden, there's a good chance there will be another reading in Berlin in April or so!

To promote the reading, Katja, Tim, and I shot a live-action trailer! The weather was much shittier than expected and we kind of froze our asses off, but I think it still turned out pretty well! Watch it here:

HIPSTERS chapter illustrations

I haven’t posted anything in a while, but I haven’t been idle. There’s a lot of stuff coming up!

To sweeten the waiting period, here are two of the chapter illustrations from my HIPSTERS book:

Comic Collab: Black and White

It's Comic Collab time again, and this month's topic is "Black and White." Fortunately, this also coincides with #inktober, so I made a little something that works for both of these events (because I'm lazy).

It's nothing special, really, just a little ink drawing of two of my Hipsters characters:

Check out all of the cool stuff the other Comic Collab artists made:

Reading in Leipzig

On September 6, I'll be at the Comicgarten Leipzig, selling & signing some comix at the JAZAM!/Mondo table. If all goes well, I should have some copies of the 2nd printing of "48 Stunden Angst" by then.

If the Comicgarten alone isn't a good enough reason for you to come to Leipzig, I will also participate in an awesome comic reading that night. I will be reading "Hipsters in Hell" (probably a bigger chunk of it than in Erlangen) and "C'est Angoulême, bitches!" - almost all of the artists from the latter will be there, each one reading their own part. All of them will also be reading some of their own comics.
I really enjoyed the reading I did in Erlangen and got a ton of positive feedback, so I'm looking forward to doing it again! Let me know if you have any ideas about where I could do more Hipsters readings.

Info about the when & where can be found on this cool Flyer by Hillerkiller:

The Hipsters book, once again

Wait... you still don't have a copy of "Hipsters Versus..." yet? I'm talking about this beauty:

Here's one of the brand-new chapter illustrations from the book. There are three more like this one in it!

And here's where you can buy it: Kwimbi | JAZAM! | Amazon.de | Hummelcomic

If you have a comic shop, you can get it via PPM. If you are a regular customer at a comic shop, please ask them to order it!

Also: if you want to review it, do an interview, a podcast, an article, a signing, a reading, or whatever, please let me know!

Erlangen report 2014

I'm back from Internationaler Comic-Salon Erlangen - tired, but happy. The festival was amazing, even more so than usually! I had a brilliant time with all of the wonderful comics people, sold & signed dozens of Hipsters and JAZAM! books, did a live reading of 'Hipsters in Hell' (with Schlogger), fought an epic art battle (against Schlogger), bought cool comics, rocked my socks off on the dance floor with some of my favorite cartoonists, drank too much, slept too little, and then continued the festival business anyway. In short: I had a blast. Creative batteries fully charged.

HIPSTERS vs. Helmut the Psycho Killer

Wha… another Hipsters comic?!

This one-off strip is actually a guest comic for Christopher Tauber & Ingo Römling’s cool horror parody webcomic Survivor Girl (which you should totally check out), but I think it also works on its own.

HIPSTERS - the book

Now that I'm done with the Hipsters webcomic, I'm putting out the whole thing (the German version) as an 80-page softcover book, which you can now pre-order at Kwimbi.

You can also order "C'est Angoulême, bitches!", by the way.

HIPSTERS in Hell, pts. 51 & 52 & 53 & 54 - The End.

Coming up next: Hipsters in Space! – Nah, I’m just messing with you. This was actually my last Hipsters strip ever!

For now, anyway.

I’m actually doing a Hipsters guest comic for another webcomic that I’m going to post here and there’s a possibility that I’m going to occasionally do stand-alone Hipsters strips if I get any good ideas.

The reason I don’t want to continue with the regular Hipsters webcomic right now is simply that I feel there are only so many hipster jokes you can make, and I’ve probably made most of them a couple of times by now. Also, I want to try some new and different things. There’s a good chance that I’ll start either a new webcomic or a graphic novel project within the next couple of months, so please continue to follow this blog (+ my Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc.) if you want to stay up-to-date about my future projects.

German version of pt. 51 & German version of pt. 52 & German version of pt. 53 & German version of pt. 54
