Clairikine Starter Kits (2020 Edition)

A study in processing an unprecedented pandemic 🚲📱😷 (March 2020, July 2020).

Low Battery

Usually I let my lack of updates speak for themselves, but this time I'm checking in to say that the past couple of months have been pretty full, hence the lack of posts. I have a couple projects in the pipeline that will emerge beginning when summer rolls around, though, so don't worry!

If you're in Berlin, I'll see you at ComicInvasionBerlin on June 23 & 24 (and if you want to volunteer this year, signups are open!) - and I'll also see everyone at Thought Bubble in Leeds on September 22-23. I will have a new zine that will be available at both cons!

Stay tuned, and in the meantime, give yourself some downtime if you need it, because you deserve it.

Friday Sketchpost: Pen doodles

Some doodles collected in my sketchbooks over the past year, made using a PITT F or S artist pen or a pink Kuretake pen.

Wednesday Workpost: GTD Personalentwicklung

Last December I was asked to illustrate a greeting card for GTD-Personalentwicklung, a small Berlin-based organisation specializing in human resources development. I  highly enjoyed the assignment, and it gave me the opportunity to do something you don't often see here - use colors!

This is the illustration I created for the card; you can see the full visual on my Behance portfolio as well as on the German site Dasauge.de.

Auf, auf!

Fanart: Hovercat

"There is a cat hovering in the men’s bathroom at the radio station here.

He seems perfectly happy and healthy, but he’s floating about four feet above the ground next to the sink."

I lied just a bit about not updating, because more fan art. I recently started listening to Welcome to Night Vale (spurred on by the contagious Kate Leth, to whom I also owe my awareness of Amanda Palmer). So far it hasn't made me crawl entirely out of my skin yet, but it could get there.

Stay safe.

Weekend Warmup: Old friends, new pen

Heading into inks for Secret Project now. Six pages and one third to go.

On a completely unrelated note, here are Anaé and Sasha, subjected to the whims of my newly replaced brush pen. (HUZZAH.)

PS - psst - want to get a personalized postcard from my next trip to Paris, or even a commission? Check this out!

Wednesday Workpost: Staffellauf!

In order to raise funds for social projects, my church participated in last week's Berliner Wasserbetriebe relay race in Tiergarten. I was asked to draw a few cartoons to use in the thank-you cards sent to donors. Even though it poured rain the day of the race, it was a success and much money was raised. Hooray!

One of the supported projects is a new church project in Friedrichshain (accordingly called Projekt:Kirche).
