Bye Bye Sea

2012-02-20T21:17:00.001+01:00

These books are ready to make some people happy.

2012-02-20T21:12:00.000+01:00

Spring is coming closer.

2012-02-17T22:34:00.001+01:00

Back from a trip through Winter Wonderland, now heading to Spring.

2012-01-25T19:27:00.002+01:00

I finally had the presentation of my final work. Now you can call me a graduate designer!
More about the book I illustrated soon. Verena made this lovely diploma-badge for me.

2012-01-15T18:53:00.001+01:00

Today, we saw a dog standing like this for some minutes without a single movement.
After a long while he took his ring and ran away.

2012-01-01T21:51:00.003+01:00

A happy New Year to all of you!

sneak peek

late december post

2011-12-30T14:12:00.001+01:00

Sorry for being such a lazy blogger, but these were the last weeks working on my final work.
Now, it's done! So, I hope you all had a nice christmas. It's a pity that it's already over.

Kayo

2011-11-24T16:24:00.001+01:00

There it is! The new Slanted magazine is out now and I had the honor to contribute to this issue of »Fontnames Illustrated«.
The Fontname I had to illustrate was Kayo.

bye magazine

2011-11-23T21:16:00.001+01:00

This year I did the monthly recipe illustration for the magazine Frau und Mutter.
Unfortunately the readers again want to see a photo of the food, because they think it motivates them more to cook.
So, until now, this is the last illustration I did for them. It's a recipe with salsify.

Advent advent

2011-11-23T21:04:00.001+01:00

and the great clouds climbing up the forest.

On holiday

As I suffer from hay fever I am grateful for every raindrop that makes the air free from pollen. Let it rain!

2011-04-11T10:32:00.002+02:00

The weather is perfect to work in the garden and drink coffee in the sun.

Hello Weimar

2011-04-07T12:32:00.003+02:00

Finally we are back in Weimar. It takes a while to get used to living in this small town again. But there are friends, a beautiful apartment
and a wonderful garden that make it easier.

bye bye Berlin

2011-03-30T23:45:00.002+02:00

We will leave you now. It was nice to meet you.

coffee and tea

Vienna

This weekend, I visited Vienna for the first time. It was a long train ride to and from Vienna, but it was worth it.

nice

2011-02-20T22:19:00.001+01:00

Coffee, tea, taking a walk, watching a film, and listening to some music. This is weekend.

I looked at different works of art.

tulip

2011-01-30T20:06:00.002+01:00

I've been too busy the last two weeks. There was no time to pay attention to anything around me.

The tulips on my windowsill faded away and tiny snowflakes drifted through the air.

Most stressful days are over, time to relax.

sth new

2011-01-16T19:17:00.003+01:00

It smells like spring even though it's january.

Last evening, I saw Giardini di Miro live.

take it easy

2011-01-09T17:56:00.002+01:00

A foretaste of the book I'm working on at the moment.

this winter, but it's actually a year ago.

The city is snowy, that makes it even more cosy sitting inside and drinking tea.

2010-11-30T23:10:00.006+01:00

and bye november, time to hum an old november song

build a fire

2010-11-27T23:25:00.003+01:00

Winter arrived in grey Berlin. I had a hard week, but a spark of happiness (oh, that sounds strange) was when

I saw Seabear live. Now I'm celebrating the weekend with a bit of calmness.

maccarons

2010-11-21T22:09:00.001+01:00

I haven't eaten one of them because they look too good.

cut

2010-11-21T21:56:00.002+01:00

So this is our advent calendar for this year!

16 illustrators from Weimar made this offset-printed booklet with 24 surprising pictures to cut open every day.

wannsee

2010-11-20T21:45:00.003+01:00

A day at the lake, a grey sky, but some colored things in between.

It is so relaxing to leave the city and smell fresh air.

twentyfive

2010-11-20T21:41:00.002+01:00

Yesterday, I turned 25. I had a day off, waking up late, having a great breakfast, eating cake and just enjoying this day.

opera

2010-11-14T22:04:00.002+01:00

During my internship I did some illustrations for the magazine Semper, the magazine of the Semperoper Dresden.

lights have changed

2010-11-11T23:29:00.003+01:00

This is how it looks like as I turn around myself on my way home.

foreign landscapes

2010-11-04T21:19:00.004+01:00

Last night I saw Hauschka live. It was a wonderful concert with
a lot of table tennis balls jumping around in his grand piano and making a really nice sound.

save

2010-11-01T22:20:00.005+01:00

I found a very old photo on a very old hard disk that's creaking the whole time.
So it's time to save the old things until it dies.
Check also this beautiful music video.

breathe

2010-10-31T23:27:00.002+01:00

The last two weekends, beautiful autumn landscapes, fresh air.
Today, we changed the clocks, I spent my extra hour in bed. Listen to this song before November starts.

sudden

2010-10-21T23:13:00.003+02:00

These days consist of working, reading sad sentences on grey walls, feeling the cold autumn breeze in my face,
coming home late in the evening, drawing, going to sleep, looking forward for the weekend,
because it is different and surprising.

autumn leaf

2010-10-11T23:39:00.002+02:00

red, yellow, gold, autumn

ahoi

2010-10-07T22:31:00.005+02:00

We proudly present the new c/Kompass! That's the student calendar of the Bauhaus-University Weimar. Verena and
I made this one which is for the next two semesters. It took us some months and it was hard work but now I'm
happy to have it in my hands. I hope that many students will have a lot of fun with it.

but hey

2010-10-04T23:22:00.002+02:00

sketching against unexplainable bad mood, it helps

last sip

2010-10-03T22:30:00.003+02:00

A last sip of summer. Not only outside because it was about ten degrees warmer than the days before but also
inside as I drank my last elderflower lemonade.

essentials

2010-10-01T20:55:00.003+02:00

It's a pitty that I couldn't be at the opening night of »Bauhaus Essentials« yesterday. My bird poster was
chosen as one of twenty works for this exhibition celebrating 150 years Bauhaus-University Weimar.
Thanks to Rosa for these photos!

build a home

2010-09-26T22:16:00.003+02:00

We had our breakfast at the river, for the last time in this year, I think so. That was yesterday.
After it, it began to rain and it didn't stop until now. I'm sad that I hadn't got the money to go to the concert
of The Cinematic Orchestra . The perfect song for rainy days.

bye bye weimar

2010-09-19T21:19:00.003+02:00

and hello Berlin. We moved to Kreuzberg a week ago. I do an internship at Fons Hickmann m23 for half a year.
We live by the river (yeah! water!) and as I go out I look at these nice paintings by Blu.

calm down

2010-09-03T20:55:00.003+02:00

Currently, I have a lot on my plate, that's why I don't find the time to post. But however we took two days off to
hike in the wonderful Thuringian Forest. It felt so good to get away from it all for a short time. So this was our
»summer holiday«, though it feels like summer is over. It already smells like autumn, actually I like it.

wood

2010-08-22T11:48:00.004+02:00

Summer came back to finally say good bye, maybe. But I enjoy this short visit very much.
Yesterday, I was in the forest, hiking, smelling the fir needles and the moss, looking at the tree tops, putting my
feet in the cold brook, listening to the cracking noise of the branches and to the chirping of the birds.
Wonderful, I don't want to go back to my desk.

Listen to this song.
