marion, 1979

this is my cousin (for want of a better word to specify our relation) marion. she works at a gallery and translates books - i envy her! when we go to berlin we always stay at her flat in kreuzberg. i found an old photograph of her looking very cute and used it as a template for this.

late night shopping

not only one of my favourite pastimes, but also the title of one of my favourite films. starring luke de woolfson (as heike makatsch's boyfriend, lucky girl) ... as seen below. this is a very scrawly version, i think i'll do another one sometime soon.

fluffy thing

sketches for another project on atak's course: humanization of animals, an alphabet. 

i drew the letter v and chose the vari (engl. ruffed lemur) as "verschlossener vari" / "withdrawn lemur". later on, the vari wore sweatpants and sat in an armchair in the corner with a beer ...

school trip

my favourite two panels from a comic project i did for a course with the lovely atak. we had to write down the most memorable experience we had on a school trip, then boys and girls had to switch stories and draw the other's ... sadly, my comic didn't make it into the following book, published by reprodukt.

"menschenfleisch" / "manflesh"

"der säufer" / "the alcoholic"

bath time

yes, i do miss having a bathtub to soak in.
luscious lips, long neck and lots of bubbles - "bath swan", anybody?

patrick and beer on a chair

tee and tights

yoo-hoo!

tablet tryouts

a while ago i got a pen tablet. i really need to practise more often, but here are some of the first sketches i made ... it does take some getting used to, but it's fun!
