This is just a little drawing for the backcover of the german comic-anthology Jazam.

Also a big thank you to all the notes on my last illustration and the nice messages in my inbox.

Okay here is anothe illo for Ten Paces and Draw. 
It was actually a fashion swap, but the costume that I got to draw was so unconventional (you will see when you go to the website) that I couldn’t just draw a pretty girl with a lovely dress.

So it became a kind of sea monster who disguises as a coral to catch cute fishes.

It doesn’t fit in the slideshow of the fashion swap though. Sorry!
But it was fun again, as always.

Head over to Ten Paces and Draw to see the other participants’ illustrations!

I had some time between work last week so I managed to practise drawing again. Elmo (our dog) was demanding a lot of my time when he was smaller and new in our home, so I had no real time to myself unless I had to work.

So here is a skater for practising dynamic poses.

Totally forgot about that one! That is the third woodcut that I did in university and I tried to do two colors this time. But again: Many many mistakes! It’s not easy to get the different wood blocks lined up…

I hope I find some wood here in this new city to cut some more wood blocks!

A little warm up sketch from this morning.

These Illustrations were part of a job for Women’s Health Germany I did in November 2012. The article (came out now in February) was about how to handle tricky situations, when you have no clue what’s going on or what the other person is talking about. I just got the situations and they wanted me to illustrate it pretty straight forward, not with too much concept behind it.

1.Going to a party, of which you didn’t know that it was a theme party.

2. You didn’t get what your mother was saying because you didn’t really listen to her.

3.Meeting a person on a street and which seems to know you, but you don’t know who it is.

Things like these.

It was a fun job and working for WH was a pleasure!

Hey guys,

sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve moved to a new apartment yesterday and had no time for tumblr for the past four weeks. I’ve been pretty busy with freelance work too, which is great!

Some news though:

1. I’m not a student anymore since february, I graduated, but I guess you don’t care about that.

2.I have the two above illustrations as new prints available in my inPRNT-store: click!

3. My friend Nadia has a tumblr now. Go follow her if you like game concept art: click! 

The last one of the three cards, which you can now buy at Rotopolpress’ shop.

This time with a little cat.
