I am a comic artist/illustrator/graphic designer who loves drawing (you don't say), art, animation, music, fashion and scavenging for usable materials to work with. In my work I keep experimenting with image and media as well as finding a balance between abstract and figurative elements. At the moment I'm working on my first comic project about the Swingjugend in 1940's Hamburg. With that I've taken my first step in fulfilling my dream to publish a graphic novel by my own hand.
In the meantime I'm also working on a series of autobiographical comics and other personal projects.

Naturally, I'm always in for new assignments and projects, so If you're interested in my work feel free to contact me.
