JAZAM! in Erlangen

Comic Duel 2008 - rounds three and four

My other two entries for the "Comic Duel 2008". Sadly, none of these made much of an impression on the jury. I only got trough the third round because the entry of my opponent wasn't that strong either.

Entry three. The topic was "Stroke of Genius".

This one probably really isn't that good. Translation of the text: "Oh, if only this were a stroke of genius instead of a stroke of lightning," Mr. W thought and passed away.
See the other entries and the jury's comments here.

The topic of the last round was "For a Fistful of Dollars":

Translation: "Darling? Do you love me only because of my personality or also because I'm filthy rich?" - "Personality." - "OK."
I kinda liked that one. The last round was held live on the Comic-Salon Erlangen and the jury didn't really take a lot of time to even read the texts of the finalists, so they were quite quick to kick this one out. Read the report on the finale here.

The Comic-Salon was lots of fun and there's going to be an exhaustive report on it on the JAZAM! blog sometime in the next few days.

JAZAM! vol. 3 - preorder now!

Almost a year has passed since the second volume of the indie comics anthology book JAZAM! came out, and we're currently printing volume three, which will be finished in time for the Comic-Salon Erlangen in two weeks.

The topic this time is "TIME", and I drew (and wrote!) an 8-page story about time bombs. One of the pages can be seen here.

This is the amazing cover by Daniela Uhlig:

Volume 3 is available for pre-ordering now at our website.
We already have plenty of previews on our new blog.

Comic Duel 2008 - rounds one and two

In the tradition of the "Spacken" contests, there's a new comics competition going on, the "Comic Duel 2008." I have participated and already moved on to the third round. These are my first two entries:

Entry one. The topic was "The Evil Eye".

The jury actually kinda liked this one (which is unusual, because they normally don't ever admit to like anything). The other entries from round one.

Round two. Topic: "Sword of Damocles"

The words in the bubble translate to "Do you want to go out with me?" This one wasn't so popular with the jury, but I still managed to make it to the next round. See the other entries from round two.

I will post the next entries when they're finished.

JAZAM! vol. 3 preview

I finally finished my 8-page story for the third volume of the great anthology book JAZAM! Here's a page (the 2nd) from it:

Some of the later pages are better, I think, but I don't want to spoil too much of the story. ;)
I've also shown this on the JAZAM! blog, along with some other cool previews.

JAZAM! vol. 3 - work in progress

I am currently working on an 8-page story for the third volume of the comics anthology book JAZAM!, of which I'm also an editor. The deadline is only one week away and I still have lots of pages to draw and ink. This time, I wrote the story all by myself and I'm drawing in a style that's more stylized than anything I've done before. I hope it turns out alright. Today, I photographed some of the pages and scribbles:

music news

Anyone in Munich reading this? If yes, I'm playing a concert with my new band Affection Play, this saturday at 5 pm.
All info can be found on our MySpace page and this flyer:


There also is a (relatively) new song from my other band Synapsengeflüster, called "Eure Tage sind gezählt" (lyrics by me), which can be heard on that band's MySpace profile.
Something else I hadn't shown yet, an illustrated CD cover for the Synapsengeflüster song Der Egozentriker:

movie posters

At university, I designed and illustrated this series of posters for fictional movies last semester for a subject called foto illustration.

new life drawing stuff

Some new life drawing sketches from a few weeks ago. These are more linear than usual because I used mainly felt tip pens and a brush pen.

cooking bird & self caricature

Am I productive these days or what? I just finished two little just-for-fun illustrations today, both with traditional inking (I usually do it digitally).
The first one is a little experiment with a new style and colored outlines:


This one is a self caricature (I don't think I look that ugly in real life):

bestiary website

The following was a small project for my web design class at university. The task was to design a site with 4 sub-sites, images, and texts, that was centered and fit the topic "bestiary". Although it wasn't obligatory, I did all the illustrations and texts myself.

The site can be found here: Kleines Bestiarium
