Ellen

After a long break, I scanned some life drawings again. These nudes are from the first two classes of the current semester (which is my last, actually):



The first three poses were 1 minute, the other two 10 min.

Travis

The third illustration in a series of character portraits from some of my favourite movies. Today: Taxi Driver.

Alex

The second piece in a series of character portraits from some of my favourite movies. This time: A Clockwork Orange.

Jake

J. J. Gittes, the main character of Chinatown, one of my favourite movies. I rewatched it the other day and felt the urge to draw this character.

interview

A cool interview about JAZAM! with Florian Steinl and me is part of the newest "Zettgeist", a weekly German mp3 podcast from comics publisher Zwerchfell. The interview was recorded at the Comicfestival München in june 2009.

I Want a Cat

I recently drew a comic page for an interesting comicjam at INKplosion. It's a story called "I Want a Cat 2 - Certainly Not a Cat!" (the sequel to "I Want a Cat"), which starts with a page by Yann Krehl & Steffi Schütze to which a number of other artists created possible second pages. Among these other artists, there are a lot of JAZAM! contributors including, naturally, myself.

Read the whole comicjam here. (there is also a German version)

This is my page:
