AUTOMOTIVE ILLUSTRATIONS
Illustrating cars reflects the passion I have felt from the first Hot-Wheels-Toys to my '67 Mustang. From watching "The Dukes of Hazzard" as a kid to wrenching in the garage nowadays.
Or maybe it's just pretty much fun to draw muscle cars...

MORD AM SONNTAG
​
A weekly crimestory-series for "Welt am Sonntag".
Every Sunday a new short story was published, written by acclaimed german authors.
Two scenes of the story including the main characters had to be illustrated in a modern comic-style. To achieve the subtle "graphic novel"-look I have used a lot of handmade elements like rough brushstrokes, splatters and handmade textures.
Digital illustration and inks with Wacom intuos.
Final touch ups and composing in Photoshop.

STORYBOARDS
​
After working on comic books for over 10 years it was a small step to storyboarding.
And it was extremely helpful to have some experience in indie-filmmaking and editing to understand the dynamics of moving images. A lot of storyboards are animated nowadays, so the company who's producing the "Animatic" from my storyboard-keyframes is always thankful to work with an illustrator who has some animation-knowledge.

CHARACTER DESIGN
There is a renaissance going on in using characters for advertising and marketing. Whether it's the Disney/Pixar-style, a modern comicbook-look or the weirdo-characters from the world of Graffiti, Street-Art & Vinyltoys.
An illustrated character is the most likable way to deliver a company's message and a catchy and memorable approach to product-packaging.
Just look at your breakfast-cereals!

PIN-UP GIRLS
​
The illustrated Pin-Up-Girl has always been a loophole to communicate your message in the most sexy way - without getting too cheesy or explicit like a photography may be.
Looking back at the glory days of the american Pin-Up (Elvgren, Vargas, etc.) we witness a revival of the 50s and the sassy attitude of sexy yet self-confident ladies in advertising and entertainment.
Here's to Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell!

FIFA World Football Museum
​
I was hired by TRIAD to illustrate 3 of the World championship collages that went on display in the new FIFA Museum in Zurüch. 1982, 1990 and 2002 were illustrated in a style reflecting the zeitgeist of each era and showing the key moments of the championship.
1990 and 2002 were created with watercolor and digital inks, 1982 is a digital illustration.
