Soccer Kids 2014

Next thursday the Soccer World Cup 2014 starts in Brazil. Originally I planned to create one character as part of the “Soccer Kids Team” for every single participating nation already weeks ago (which would have been 32 illustrations all in all) and sell them to the highest bidder… 😉

Because of my time consuming supervising job I do for Caligari right now, I actually managed to draw only the little deer below, representing Germany. But maybe I can do some more during the championship, which lasts a month after all. Let’s see how far I can get.

Graffiti “Food Wars”

In meiner Heimatstadt Aurich habe ich vor einem Monat in der neuen Realschul-Mensa ein Graffiti gesprüht – nach 15 Jahren mal wieder der Geruch von Aerosol in der Nase… hmmmm!

Artworks for “Roger and Out”

About one year ago I designed a few background artworks and did some character colorations for the sci-fi browser game Roger and Out of munich based game company Travian Games. The style is a nice fusion of graphic appearing digital painted backgrounds and funny as well as stylish comic characters.
