Monstrous Pirate Wall Tattoo

Merry Christmas!
Santa brought a huge colourful wall tattoo for my nephew. The 100 inch wide tripartite wall sticker tells an old pirate story about treasures, sea monsters (friendly ones, of course!) and great adventures on open sea. Yo ho ho…

Conceptual Designs Dungeon Stuff

Actually I do some conceptual designs for a game project of a few mates. The working title is Dark Dungeon (edit: now called Cryptarium) and it already looks great. As they plan to build a couple of levels all in different styles there will be a lot of assets and creatures to create…

B.U.T., spell it “beauty” (… yeah, I wasn’t only cool those days but also smart).

 

Graffiti Sketches

I made this one in my room at home. See my tag on the bottom left? CZA (spell “ceesa”), which means Comic Ztyle Art (smart again, isn’t it?).

Old School: Black Book One

Recently, while searching for some of my typography stuff because I had to design the logo for a game, I stumbled across my old black books. It was fun to watch all the graffiti sketches and characters I designed those days – almost 20 years ago now…

It’ll take a few more months before I can show you pictures of my current projects, so I decided to put some of my early works here. Watch out for more.

Black Book

This should be a tribute to Bob Kane, the creator of Batman. But in fact it never made it upon a wall…

 

Black Book

I wasn’t the wild style writer type of a sprayer but much more into characters.

For this piece I got inspired by the comic “Dark War” from Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy

Me at work…

 

The next few images show the process of a graffiti the way I did it:

Black Book

First the rough sketch to find the shape of the character and the flow of the letters.

Next, I did the layout and used it for my color sketch.

Now it’s getting serious: doing the fill-ins.

And at last we got a nice piece in the skate shop “Mr Wilson” in Aurich.
