The "Bunny-Hunter"

The dyslexic bounty hunter.

virgo

I have painted a series of starsign-pin-ups a few years ago. unfortunately I can't find the original scans again. All I've got are a few low-res files. I decided to modify them in Illustrator, so I can enlarge them and use them for print.

birds

this is a project for a shortfilm i would like to do. i scribbled down a little story one evening and decided to make a short animatic. I would like to animate it later on in a papercutstyle and set two simple characters up in photoshop. here is a color-test for the set. i finally went with the green tree-green background version. even though i like the blue more graphic version i found the green brings out the red stronger and has a warmer feel to it.

Ella

Here is a sketch of my daughter, Ella. I know my blog is a little all over the place, but I think that is typical me...

Here is a colored version of a series of space-girls I have been scribbling.

i-phone addict

here is a quick sketch i just did before string my weekend. usually i would clean the sketch up in illustrator, but used photoshop instead. i like the different thickness of the lines. gives it a cool retro-feel.

Bullit

inspired by the movie "bullit" with Steve McQueen.

Spooky Rabbit

Beggin 2

Another Dance-pose, more stylized and slightly more booty...

Beggin

I love the song "Beggin" from Madcon. Here is a sketch inspired by their video.

A little bit late, but here is a painting I did for "earthday".

Mothersday

For Camille. Here are the sketches and the final painting onto a woodpanel 4x4 inches small.

Dogtag

This might be the cover of my comic about the military service. "Dogtag" translates "Hundmarke" in german.

You're in the army now...

I am still experimenting on the perfect coloring-style for the comic. I think this one works well.
