I hope to realize some of them when I got some time to fool around.

The Battle of Hasbro Creek

Another Super Soaker Battle. This time bringing more guns to the meeting!!!

The Battle of Hasbro Hill

This is an illustration I did for Hasbro Super Soaker. The idea of the agency J.Walter Thompson was to show a water battle executed in an oil-war painting-style.
I painted digitally and the senior art director Ralf Richter added the textures and the frame.

Summertime

This is a Tryout Doodle in Painter after an old snapshot from my family´s photo album.
It shows my sister swimming in the Chiemsee, back in 1978.

Happy New Year and lots of prey to everyone!!!

Figure Sketches 5-10 minutes

DVD-Cover "Die Bartholomäusnacht"

I was asked by anthea associates Film GmbH to illustrate a Cover for the new DVD-Edition of "La Reine Margot" (Die Bartholomäusnacht), starring Isabelle Adjani and other stars of the french cinema. I think it was 1994 when I saw this cruel but beautiful movie in the cinema and liked it very much. So I was exited to to do the cover for the new DVD. They asked me to do it in black, white and red and in a simple comic like style. The illustration should play with religion, sex, power and violence. I made a lot of suggestions, and the client picked my own favourite, which is pretty rare.

Analog Painting Attempt

Today I went to the Botanic Garden in Munich together with my pals Thomas von Kummant and Peter Popken. I tried to do a colorsketch with Acrylics. Tried is the importent word here. When I started it was raining, and halfway through the painting the sun came out very bright, so I ended up with a bastard between the two moods. I never did outdoor painting in a serious way, so I hardly knew what I was doing, but after some practice this summer maybe it gets better. Nevertheless, it´s fun and recharges the creative batteries.

Usagi Yojimbo

One and a half year ago I did this hommage to Stan Sakai´s bigeared Comicbook-Hero for a Usagi-Web-Gallery of his french publisher Paquet, who is also the publisher of Thomys and my Comicbook "La Chronique des Immortels".

Der goldene Nazivampir!

I just finished this illustration for the movieposter of the shortfilm "Der goldene Nazivampir von Absam 2" by munich based director Lasse Nolte.
A very funny Trash-Exploitation-Adventure-Satire kind of movie.

Making Of “Die Chronik der Unsterblichen”

This a 15min.-Making Of-movie about our graphic novel "the chronicle of the immortals", made by my friend Jochen Hirschfeld for the german comic festival in Erlangen 2006.
