BACK TO THE FUTURE

Da sind sie wieder: die 80er. Bin gerade Fan von La Roux geworden. Schöner Retro-Pop mit ebensolchem Auftritt. Zum Wiedergutfinden.

Here they come again: the 80ies. Just became a fan of La Roux. Nice Retro-Pop with matching design. Hip again.

CLASSICS REVAMPED

Ein kleines lustiges Experiment: Was, wenn das zum Bildungskanon gehörte?

Just a small experiment: What if that is part of basic education? (Reclam publishes famous little books containing all the literary classics. every student in germany knows them).

Nachdem (Urheber-)rechte bzw. deren Verwertung als das Gold des Neuen Jahrtausends erkannt wurden, sind sich selbst solche Großkonzerne wie T-Com nicht zu schade z.B. mit ihrem Microstock-Portal "Polylooks" fernab ihrer Kernkompetenzen am Goldrausch teilhaben zu wollen. Hier eine angemessene (sic!) Reaktion aus Urheberkreisen mit Dank an den Kollegen.

Now that everyone ist aware of copyrights being the gold of the new millenium, even corporate companies like T-Com (telecommunication) try to digg for it without having the proper expertise i.e. with they microstock-portal "Polylooks". Here is what copyright authors answer:

superpuissance

2009-02-19T11:23:00.000-08:00

its about spectacle wearers and their omnipresence as a powerful population group and the ambivalence of style accsesoir and pain in needing it.

Jamais de la Vie

2009-02-18T16:31:00.000-08:00

And heres another one, about the metaphoric quality of "Free Fall".

Le Fragile

2009-02-17T14:21:00.000-08:00

Woah! Here‘s another style-test.

Experiment in a new style

And here is the next piece for Bild am Sonntag Horoscope, fresh from the desktop. Took me 3 hours in the making. I think its a clever piece within the whole series – there is just the right dose of inner references regarding the theme Capricorn and its interpretation as a leader mentality. Note the "reading cycle".

Frankfurter Rundschau – Kinderstück II

2006-11-24T02:34:00.001-08:00

Here we go with another illustration for FR "Einmaleins für Kinder" (Basics for Children). Again its topic is related to war (in what times do we live?): "Wieviele Kriege gibt es?"("How many Wars are out there?") I tried to solve the problem by incorporating the idea of the russian Mamuschka to show the endless number of wars.

BamS_Horoskop

2006-11-22T14:01:00.000-08:00

This is an illustration piece for the horoscope of Bild am Sonntag, the biggest weekly published newspaper in Germany (it's yellowpress, of course). The theme is Saggitarius (hope, that was obvious?)
And here is the according scribble to the illustration. I did only this one, with nonreproblue pen and feltbrush-pen, had some corrections from the client on that (the couple is missing in the final artwork) and then moved directly into digital production.

Frankfurter Rundschau – Kinderstück

2006-11-22T13:49:00.000-08:00

This work was done for Frankfurter Rundschau, a Frankfurt-based daily newspaper. They established a column named "Einmaleins für Kinder" (Basics for Children), where difficult topics are explained in a way easy to understand. Nevertheless i had a lot of trouble visualizing this topics, i.e. this piece "Childhood in War-aereas". Duh!
