MY ARTWORK
I do three different types of artwork. First, the useful things for my clients. Then, there is streeart, mostly paste-ups. And finally, there is fun stuff. For no other purpose than making me happy, sometimes only in my sketchbooks, sometimes on instagram.
COMMISSIONED WORK
For my clients I often do factual illustrations, infographics, and animations. These are used for campaigns, or to explain how things work: How to use a certain app? Can I bring my bike on the train? Who does football belong to? What is meant by insect-friendly gardening? How can we create greener cities? As I´m a teacher, I really enjoy visualizing the answers. Here are some of them.
STREETART
No, I don´t illegally spray on others peoples belongings. But in a city like Berlin there is always space for artists. Together with the wonderful people of aza.berlin, I help to bring temporary art onto the streets, and into the city. Mostly, it´s paste-ups and stickers as a small part of a bigger picture. You might find some of it at gretl.wand, at the northside gallery or at sticker festivals around the world. It´s not meant for eternity, it always changes, will be painted over or bleached by the sun light. And then there will appear something new.
SKETCHES & FUN STUFF
Some of my illustrations are just made for fun, to try something new, or because I´ve got a fancy new sketchbook, nice pencils or felt-tip pens. Most of that is made in a very old-fashioned way on paper, but later on I usually digitalize and colorize my sketches.
