Once again, I spent a sunny afternoon with my old sketchbooks in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, and it was truly awesome to draw not only outdoors, but also completely analogue with pencils and paper! ➔
I’ve had so much fun with my posters for the Posterlounge earlier this week that I also renewed my shop at Søciety6 right away – besides artprints, you can also buy my girls on greeting cards, coffee mugs, throw pillows, tote bags, sleeves, cases and skins now – and some of them even fitted on duvet covers and shower curtains! ➔
After many years, I took my old sketchbooks to the Ménagerie des Jardin des Plantes in Paris, and it was wonderful – even though most of he animals there seemed to notice right away that they were drawn, and instantly moved on! ➔

I just uploaded some of the sketches I made for Lily Lux’ little discovery journey to the Wild West – I liked this one in particular, but in the end travelling without leaving the room seemed to fit the subject Winnetou e.g. his genesis much better. ➔
Tuesday evenings are awesome, thanks to life drawing at Rakete!
These are my very first scribbles for the book. ➔
Right now, I’m working on a gift book with 64 fully illustrated and extremely detailed pages for Hoffmann und Campe Verlag. I invented, developped and wrote it together with my favourite author Matthias Klesse, and now I’m illustrating and designing it. ➔
My first all-handmade original drawing since 2004, for the sketchbook ‘Meine Welt’ (my world) by Illustratoren-Organisation. It was great, great fun and I had a hilarious weekend with the book… even though it was really heartbreaking to say goodbye and send it over to its next stop! ➔
Recently, I’ve been working out a fresh drawing style and an absolutely wonderful new project – more about this soon!
For the textile magazine ‘Kettenwirk-Praxis’, I illustrated a topic called ‘Hightech meets Klassik: Panties in Art Nouveau Design’. For that, I took a picture of the sewn panties on a mannequin, scanned the fabric sample and collaged both into the illustration. ➔

The illustrations will be published next fall, and I look forward to that and to show them on my site then as well!
