Hanging Loose: Role Reversal




Hey guys! I'm putting my comics time this month towards drawing Master of Survival and writing Noémie, so to tide you over I've got some comics drawn over the holidays in my trusty journal. I call these "Hanging Loose".

I am also doing a recap of 2013 that will be up within a week. Happy New Year!

Winter is here


Whew! That's my last post before my own personal getaway to the sunny climes of Sweden for some holiday cheer and familial watching of television. While I'm there I'll be wrapping up the daily Little Tiny Adventstüren posts I've been doing (and which you can follow on Twitter, TumblrInstagram and Facebook)!

In the New Year we'll be having a big ole recap of the madness that was 2013. Until then, I advise you to get thee hence to a place that sells Glühwein and get toasted in my honor (I'm turning a year older at some point too).

I've failed thus far to actually get toasted on Glühwein myself, which may be for the best as I've been alternating between wrapping up work and sitting in front of TV shows with tea and a cold. Deliverance is nigh, though! Catch you on the flip side.

The things that one tames




























This weekend I was at a retreat with other musicians from my church, the same kind as last year's but in a different, quite remote little place in the woods (no cell reception!). Part of Sunday's Advent service was the reading of an excerpt from The Little Prince, namely the conversation between the little prince and the fox. I've read the book many times, but I still find the scene very touching.

The fox here is a nod to Foxy, the main character of the many comic strips I  drew as a kid.

Thin Ice



Doodle time! Meeting a deadline. (*fist pump*)

The Clairikine Christmas Sale is still going until December 15! My minicomics are all on sale with free stickers with each purchase. Feed me? (Heh.)

S.A.D.



I'm all for snow, lights and quiet and cozy nights in with a book or a drawing table, but other than that I mostly just hate what winter does to my brain. That is why I moved to a city where the sun sets at 4PM by mid-November.

Weekend Warmup: Well you couldn't get much closer




Pencilled my way through the weekend on a commissioned one-pager due at the end of the month. Warmed up by drawing Noémie, Anaé and a random guy. Noémie is a joy for me because she gives me license to draw a grumpy character, which I always default to out of laziness.

Hey, did you know that all my minicomics are currently on sale, and that you can even bundle them with a print or a personalized holiday season greeting card?

Did you know you can also order a personalized greeting card separately until Dec. 1 and that there are only seven of them to go around?

A Clairikine Christmas Sale!


UPDATE: I am no longer taking greeting card commissions. The store sale ends December 15!

It's that time of the year again, and in the spirit of Christmas I am selling art and comics at low prices, as well as offering a limited amount of personalized greeting cards (scroll down for details)!


Clairikine Store Sale!


I have a brand-new minicomic called A Clairikine Primer which features select comics from the past two years, including "The Internet Says The Darndest Things". It is on sale for 2€ + shipping, as are the rest of the minicomics in the store.

I've also added four different packs of comics allowing the completist in each of you to get your hands on ALL MY COMICS and save hugely while doing so! They range from "Teeny Tiny Minicomics" to "All The Things, which contains all five minis PLUS a surprise comic PLUS the Hunter S. Thompson print for 10€!

All orders come with a free sticker!
Cutoff date is Dec. 15 for everywhere and Germany, bearing in mind that international orders will arrive after New Year's.

ALSO, 5€ extra with the "All The Things Pack" gets you a personalized greeting card! (UPDATE: this option is no longer available!) For more info on these and how to get one separately -- LOOK DOWN. (This neither!)


Limited Edition Personalized Season's Greetings Cards!



I am selling SEVEN* personalized greeting cards drawn in black, white and red on DIN A5-sized 250g art board, featuring a character of your choice wearing a Santa hat. Like myself and Peter Capaldi up there.

Cards are 8€ each + 0,75€ shipping, payable to the Donate button on the right. 

*Does not include cards made for orders in the store.

IMPORTANT: order cutoff dates for cards are Dec. 1 for everywhere, including Germany.
ALSO IMPORTANT: pickups are possible in Berlin until Dec. 20, as well as in Stockholm on Dec. 23 (negotiable, but not between julafton and annandag jul!).

Goodbyes


It's been a year of many goodbyes (or should I say - "hello again in a considerably long time"s).

Friday Festivities: Bridal Mix + Doodles

I was invited to Eni and Anselm's smashing good wedding in Berlin-Tegel at the beginning of September. As is my wont, I made them a small mix and illustrated the cover. They are both musicians and in fact sang during their own wedding ceremony, which is just a general proof of awesomeness (and something I'd like to one-up someday, being me).



Some doodles from the last couple weeks, including a couple people who happened to walk by my table at Zinefest.

Also, tiny update at the Noémie blog for the Franco-Germanically inclined! You can also like the project on Facebook and follow it on Twitter [FR/DE].

See you Tuesday!
