Ich wünsche euch allen schöne Feiertage und einen guten Start ins neue Jahr!

In the last couple of month I illustrated a weekly column about consumer protection for the german magazine Bild der Frau. I was so happy when they discovered my work via my agent Susanne Koppe. Starting in march, it was a 6-month engagement. Perfect to balance my artistic development, get published to a large audience and earn some money to feed my cats. Beneath the fun I had (drawing women is one of my favorite motifs) I found out that working on a weekly illustration sounds flattering but feels challenging from time to time. I needed to evolve my practical skills to a faster and more digital way – as I work mostly analogue. I had to deliver precisely on a certain time – mostly 3, sometimes just 1 day from text briefing to final artwork – which was my greatest fear but I could manage quite easily, because this editorial department works perfectly efficient. So I had to learn and grow with this opportunity. Here’s an overview on some of the illustrations. Thanks to my nice editor Kristina Fierro Abella!
