In Place Exhibition

This is my illo for the LGAL’s "In Place" exhibition (opening August 23th) and I chose Norway’s Hardangervidda. I was there with my family several times when I was young and loved the landscape and the calmness. I felt very free when we wandered through fjords and moss-covered places without any people. I do like spending my vacation in a city but hiking in Norway is the more relaxing and fullfilling thing for me. (And I adore the language!)

Prints and the book with all illustrations are available here: LGAL Shop
(Although there is still a wrong blue-ish preview picture in the store. The print will of course look like pictured above.

Ten Paces and Draw Round 2

Okay here is anothe illo for Ten Paces and Draw.
It was actually a fashion swap, but the costume that I got to draw was so unconventional (you will see when you go to the website) that I couldn’t just draw a pretty girl with a lovely dress.

So it became a kind of sea monster who disguises as a coral to catch cute fishes.

It doesn’t fit in the slideshow of the fashion swap though. Sorry! But it was fun again, as always.

Head over to Ten Paces and Draw to see the other participants’ illustrations!

JAZAM cover

Adrian from the german comic anthology Jazam asked me to draw the coverillustration for them and this is it. The topic of this issue is animals and I couldn't resist drawing a fox and some ravens. The book will be released in May 29th this year.

And as a bonus, this is a little illo for the back of the book:

Women's Health 03/2013

These Illustrations were part of a job for Women’s Health Germany I did in November 2012. The article (came out now in February) was about how to handle tricky situations, when you have no clue what’s going on or what the other person is talking about. I just got the situations and they wanted me to illustrate it pretty straight forward, not with too much concept behind it.

1.Going to a party, of which you didn’t know that it was a theme party.
2.Meeting a person on a street and which seems to know you, but you don’t know who it is.
3. You didn’t get what your mother was saying because you didn’t really listen to her.

Things like these.

It was a fun job and working for WH was a pleasure!

Postcards for Rotopolpress

I did three postcards for Rotopolpress which are available in their shop now. :) To see all cards in detail visit my tumblr.

Light Grey Art Lab "Girls - Fact & Fiction"

The “Girls - Fact and Fiction” show opened last friday at Light Grey Art Lab!

I am very honoured to be part in this show (there are so many great artist in it again!!) but it was also very hard to decide for one girl. In the end I went with Ofeliá from Pan’s Labyrinth, which was quite a challenge. When I started sketching I wanted to put so many things from the story in this illustration, but realised the show is about the girl and not so much about the story. So I kept most of the things subtle in the background.

There are also prints of all the pieces from the show available HERE and a Girls book with all the pieces in it: here is a PREVIEW.
