Rabid Rabbit 8 Release Party

One event is over, the next one already in sight: This Thursday is the release party for Rabid Rabbit's Infamous White Issue! Come join us together with many of our artists, friends and colleagues to celebrate the release of Rabid Rabbit's most ambitious and beautifully received book, inspired by the Beatles' White Album!

MoCCA Art Festival

Me and my colleagues of Rabid Rabbit had a blast at this year's MoCCA. We presented the White Issue of Rabid Rabbit to the world, and the world liked it. We met new friends and encountered great new books.

I myself launched my book METAL MAN which good a warm reception from everybody, and I look forward to continuing promoting it as the official release date, July 1st, comes closer! If you'd like to arrange a school visit or an event at a library near you please drop me a line anytime!

Thanks to everybody who came to MoCCA. Please check out the Rabid Rabbit website for some photos and more coverage of this great event.

Hymns

For the the Bavarian Newspaper Sonntagsblatt, I illustrated two hymns.
Since part of the assignment was to include the lyrics and the sheet music, I had fun playing around with the typography as image, and used illustration only as a framing device.

Metal Man on Slanted.de

I got a nice shoutout on the German typography blog Slanted.
Many thanks to my good friend Boris Kahl!

Illustration for The New Yorker

This drawing just came out in the new issue of The New Yorker. I was sent on location to check out the Art Show "Who's Afraid of Jasper Johns" and did an illustration from what I experienced. Many thanks to Max Bode!

Casual Comics #2

It's finally done and ready for sale at the MoCCA Art Festival: Casual Comics #2! It includes a couple all-new comic stories, and some translated comics that I did for German publications and that haven't been published in the US yet! So I hope you'll enjoy it. At MoCCA, I'll be offering Casual 1 +2 for the special discount price of $5! It's a steal!
