I am having two weeks off from my work at nickelodeon. I am taking the time to rough out a comic. It is about my mandatory military service in germany. Here are two sketches of the "rough-version".
I have been working on a poster for my dad. His 70th birthday is coming up. He is a big fan of french action movies. I've inserted his picture into a poster from the film "Le Magnifique". It is a movie with Jean-Paul Belmondo. It is one of my favorite movies by the way. So please check it out when you come across a copy.
I started cleaning up the sketch. I still need to add some shadows on the character and the background needs some work. I might add some lights and some Gaussian blur.
I am planing to finish a comic next year. It will be based on my experience during my obligatory military service in germany. I have slightly exaggerated the events, but most of the episodes have happened like this... here is a first rough-page.
I've just won another award for my TV-series "Hairy & Scary". This time at the "Animacor" festival in spain/cordoba. You can find more details under this link: http://www.animacor.com/festival-new/festival-seccion-en-new/seccion-competitiva-en-new/palmares-en-new
I just finished 4 pirate-paintings for children. i had started these paintings a while ago, but never took the time to finished them. thanks to giving myself a "deadline" they got done in four days. hurray! i can move onto the next project. is it ella's children-book? i'm not so sure yet...
I am thinking about drawing a children-book for my daughter Ella. It would be a free interpretation of "The Princess and the Frog". Here is my first design for her costume.
I have been busy in the last weeks, doing storyboard-tests for nickelodeon. Both tests have been appreciated and I will start work there in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime I have been preparing some artwork for an upcoming art-fair in silverlake/LA. I will be selling some of my prints over there.
Currently I am working at Nickelodeon on a show called "The Penguins of Madagascar". I thought it would be fun to have a blog where I regularly load up my artwork. I am also working on a Comic about my experience during the mandatory military service in the german army. Another project this year will be a children-book for my daughter.
