Selected works beginning from 1996 when I was a nerdy Comicfanboy at the age of 12. I concentrated mostly on drawing Superheroes and Fantasy-topics, especially when I began to play RPG’s like Dungeons&Dragons. Primary in 2004 my interest in artistic expression beyond Comic-books enlarged.

This catalogue will be updated regularly.

When I came across the new Victoria and Albert Museum Identity-Project realised by Karsten Schmidt, I was amazed by his work. Also the possibility to rearrange and recode/decode the original processing-code got me completely. So here are my Stills from the code for the Decode Exhibition. Please go to the decode09-site and download the code to experience it yourself.

I was asked to create a type-logo and image for a band called: The Colour Red.

During my internship at Taobot, I got the chance to work on the illustration for the Omega Code project together with Danny Franzreb who also did the art direction. He is one of the 23 invited artists besides Joshua Davis, Matthew Curry, David Rondel Cambou, Robert Lindström, Peter Jaworowski, Colletivo, Nelson Balaban, Doug Alves, Sebastian Onufszak, Mike Cina, Michael Paul Young, Doomedo, Animatório, Andreas Pihlström, Christopher Hewitt, Mate Steinforth, Tom Muller, Danny Franzreb, Motomichi Nakamura, Tomás Peña, David Polonia, João Oliveira, Si Scott and Umeric.

It was an intensive piece of work, to come to the point when the aesthetic requirements were satisfying enough within the concept of an organic sculpture that he had in mind. The constant dialogue between Danny and me about the form and appearance of the poster inspired me a lot and influenced me deeply.

You can see a larger version of the work at the bottom of this site.

When the the possibility came to submit a fanart-poster to the project I couldn’t resist. But I didn’t want to do something similar or compareable to the other contributions. I wanted to create somekind of a cinematic moment where the omega-logo appears in an seemingly improper environment.

Rojo-Magazine from Sao Paulo invited me to publish some art in their upcoming book which will be released later this year. I created this series of two with some old stock of mine. My aim was to give the Octopus a mystic and mutant touch. After several colored versions I finally decided to make it monochrome.

The third poster for selfpromotional purpose.

The second poster to promote myself.

This is the first of more upcoming promotional posters and postcards for myself. I was already playing with that idea when doing the AF 004 Graphic.

A very interesting task at Taobot was the design of a poster to attract new interns after me.
The whole graphic intends to show Taobot as a moving space trough which I traveled and increased. The art direction was done by Danny Franzreb.
“The ability to act in an interdisciplinary and creative way, needs the proper space to evolve.”

I’m working now for several years with the group of Doctor Atmosfearcrush, Tomahawk and Machete, who are unbelievable sounddesigners and musicians in the name of art. So it was a great opportunity to design their whole visual identity. The identity range includes a visual language for printsolutions, promotional cd’s and two websites. Check them out!

I visited a play called “Jeruville” in Düsseldorf, Germany. It was an amazing atmosphere during the play. The whole set was designed in a very creative way and the sound was developed also by the great Doc. Atmosfearcrush of the Esc. Laboratory.

“The President-Room” that you see here, inspired me very much.

Here are some of my results from a etching-course at the university.

I was happy to develop a label for the new champagne of Andreas Peth a winemaker of the family winery Peth.

Another personal piece. I try to continue developing my mutated portraits-style.

This is my contribution for the upcoming exhibition in the Fabrik Worms. The topic is called “Spirit of Freedom” and concentrates on creative interpretations of “the key”. When I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that “the key” is in our minds or that we as persons are the key to freedom: the way that we act and treat each other. Then I put the whole idea into the context of a fictional movieposter.

I produced many different colored versions of the illustration but printed this black one at last.

You can see some impressions of the exhibition below.

A fanart portrait of Spiderman – the hero of my childhood. I will never forget uncle Ben’s last words. Furthermore I think every designer should think about them in his personal context. Thank you very much Stan Lee.

A little personal piece that I did to warm up in the morning. I decided to follow my intuition for nearly one hour.

A folder for the b4-Consulting Group. The content promotes a management seminar for people who want to get ahead with both: career and family.

A personal project.

A Posterdesign for a play originally written by Dario Fo, which is going on tour this year. Unfortunately the final and produced poster is totally different, but I want to show the versions that I like more.

While working on the Omega Code Project I got the idea to use the organic forms for some private joy.
So this piece was born, showing a morphing head on a suited body. It is the same graphical language like the Esc. Laboratory Identity and I think there will come more experiments in this kind of style.

I’m still trying to find a method to express an artificial way of my creative emotions. Although a designer is often putting his own style intentionally into the visualization of a project, there is always a subconscious influence in the creative part of working I think. Constantly I take some time and try to let the subconcious work instead of my head. It is some kind of creative meditation.

This is a personal project which currently is and presumably will stay under developement. I will update it from time to time.

After working a long time mostly in front of the screen, I decided to do some hand drawing again. I was not sure of what exactly should turn out but I thought about some certain moments in my life while doing it.

This was primarily a shooting for the portfolio of a young actress named Louise Oppenländer. These two pictures of the whole session inspired me somehow and one of them even more.

The label World in Sound asked me to design the cover and visual story concept for a great psychodelic-rock project, including a never released James Brown remix by visionary Peter Thomas who did the music for the “Spacepatrol Orion” tv-series in 1966. Directly after the release, it was voted to album of the month by the Eclipsed magazine.

This graphic was one of the parent concepts for the Taobot internship poster. The basic Idea was the same but the conversion turned out more playful in the use of structures. I think I’m gonna update this graphic one day.
