Back from Angoulême

I'm back from Angoulême and can happily report that it was pretty amazing. The festival is enormous - much bigger than any of the ones we have in Germany - and there were tons of cool exhibitions and parties. Even cooler, perhaps, was the group of webcartoonists I was travelling with.

We had a lot of fun drawing epic comicjams and drinking more canned beer than anyone ever should. Most of said comicjam can be found on the JAZAM! tumblr (click on the image):

More (mostly drunk) comicjams can be found on my twitter stream.

When we weren't drinking our beer out of cans, we were paying for it with our Netzbildergeschichtenkünstlerpräsentationsheft-booklets, as Hillerkiller documented in this comic:

The way the French value comics is pretty amazing - especially if you're used to Germany, where few people take them seriously, and even the ones that do oftentimes don't actually read them. As I wrote on twitter:

Germans are always surprised you'd ask them to pay money for your silly comics, French people can't believe you'd give them away for free.

Here's me with a childhood hero of mine:

Angoulême

In a few days, I'll be visiting the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême, Europe's biggest comics convention, for the first time. I'll be travelling with a group of my comic-drawing friends, and we decided to make a little something we could show to our French peers, who aren't likely able to understand any of our German-language print publications. Each of us translated a short comic or several comic strips into French, which we collected as a 24-page pamphlet with the catchy name "Netzbildergeschichtenkünstlerpräsentationsheft" (cahier de présentation des artistes de BD en ligne) and this splendid collab cover:

 

includes the following artists: Jeff Chi, Tim Gaedke, Hillerkiller, JARoo, Yinfinity

If you, too, happen to be in Angoulême this week and want one of these comic books, just tweet at me - I'm sure we can figure out a way to meet up!

Interview for MyComics.de

Because my comic "ANNIE The Little Cannibal" made second place in MyComics' recent 24h Comic Day contest, I was interviewed about the comic and other projects for their blog.

Secret Santa

This year, Jojo Kretzschmar (aka Beetlebum) had the idea of doing a German Webcomics Secret Santa, which is pretty cool, right? Each participating webcomic artist did a guest comic or artwork for another randomly selected webcomic or comic blog. I was pleasantly surprised when I got this wonderful little comic from my buddy Jeff Chi (he of Spinken) a couple of days ago:

I, myself, was assigned Kaydee and her webcomic "I Give You Dinosaur," for which I drew this:

ANNIE The Little Cannibal (24h comic)

Back in April, I drew a 24h comic at the 24hcd event in Leipzig, which I then published in printed form in my book "48 Stunden Angst." Now, I finally translated the comic and uploaded it on the Hipsters website. Click on the first page to read the whole thing:

I also uploaded the German version on MyComics.de: CLICK HERE!

International Self Portrait Day 2013

Today is International Self Portrait Day, which is why I drew this:

I feel like I may have gotten the likeness more right in this scribble, which is why I want to show I to you, too:

HIPSTERS in Hell, pts. 14 & 15 & 16

A lot of work (on some pretty cool games!) has lead to me having very little time for the comic lately. Here are the three strips I managed to draw over the past two months or so:
