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.

A dangerous sleep...

Angoulème 2008 I

Here are a few impressions from my little signing trip from The Artillerie in Munich to the comic festival in Angoulème, together with my studio droogies Peter Oedekoven and Thomas von Kummant.

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.

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.
Enjoy!
