WILL THE SUMMER MAKE GOOD FOR ALL OUR SINS.

Yeehaw!

I defenitely had too much pizza this evening but life ain't easy...
Here you get a picture i drew in my holidays. I simply tried to rougher shape of my shading technique.
Ah, the title's another fantastic song by the great MÚM.

I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I?

Yo buddies!

This time I give you a more elaborate one. I started this picture some weeks ago and did some lines whenever I could (lunch break, rehearsal, couch, bed, car). Two weeks ago I finished it but a holiday trip hindered an earlier release...
However, first there was the creature with a focus on a highly detailed body and after I managed it I thought "Hm, would be nice if there was a city skyline in the back" and so i made a quick sketch of how the city could look like and started with these fine detailed sci-fi-megapolis-mayhem. That was totally fun! Everything's done with two black biros. The picture is digital colored but uncorrected for the rest.

The title's by the great MOGWAI.

SAME OLD SHIT.

Brothers and Sisters!

It's been a while since my last post but sometimes there is some other stuff to do. For example: driving with my band mates to a show. And which things would be a better for wasting the time than beer, pen and paper? Somewhere on the autobahn I did a fast drawing with the things I love about people. Tired, pupilless eyes, cigarettes, missing limbs and Tim Burton hair. If I could I would draw pictures like this a thousand times!

WORK IN PROGRESS.

Hey!

I wasted my lunch time the last week with doing a new drawing. As you might see I was a little stuck in wrinkles. And I guess, I've never told you, but HANDS are pretty difficult to draw. Especially when you use an incorrectable medium like a biro. In the end I got it somehow and now I'm totally thrilled to create the background. Today, I did a sketch of the city skyline which will hopefully be done the next days. Or maybe this evening... but now I have to visit the gym. My back feels like it's 200 year old wood.

SKETCH-O-RAMA #1

Folks!

Even though I didn't post some shit over the last weeks, I'm not a lazy TV junk. I'm actually working on some larger projects which means that it will take some time until I can give you some finished work.

But here's some recent stuff from my sketchbook; maybe I will talk about some of these projects later.

COMMISSIONAL WORK.

Hey there,

for those of you, who don't know, I'm keeping a regular job in an engineering company to get my bills payed. There I'm doing a lot of "conventional" design work (layouts, screendesign, pixel graphics...) but the recent project is a really interesting one. For this years trade fair I was put in charge to create all visuals for an animated infographic. There are already existing infographics done by me, so only the narrative elements have to be created. Below you see the concept of the two main characters, they're done with biro an digital color. The most difficult thing for me is to keep the drawings positive. If you've seen some of my other stuff you will agree. But it's quite cool to do shit like this! Feels like I'm 14 again!

Cheers, Robert

THE SENSE.

Girls and boys!

Here's new shit. Last weekend I've been on tour with THE.SPINES where I used the time in the van with drawing our sleeping drummer. The result is much fatter than the original but therefor the tentacles turned out well.

The stuff's done with black biro in Belgium and France while the digital coloration's made in my home studio last night.

The title's inspired by the mighty HOT WATER MUSIC.

SOME SKETCHES.

Yo!

Here are some quick sketches of new project I just started with some buddies from my former university. Get some beer and listen to this. cheers!

LITTLE BOHEMIA.

Hey!

Summer is that special time in a year when everything's in harmony. So, here you get a picture I drew in my garden on lovely (lovely, lovely, lovely) saturday afternoon. As you might see, I managed to transport this unique summer mood into my picture. Lovely, huh?

My material were my old fellows ink and watercolor.
The title's by SMOKE OR FIRE. Couldn't find a good version of it so, try this.

Cheers, Robert

WEEPING ROCK ROCK.

Hey people!

This time I give you a very lovely piece. It's summer, so everybody has to be happy. The shading took very long this time but I wanted to exercise my new technique on a bigger picture. So, here it is!

The title's by Icelandic band MÚM. Check out that fantastic video!
