to german versionA short introduction
Since 1993 I am working as a freelancing illustrator and artist.
Most people know me for my works for Das Schwarze Auge, Germanys most popular fantasy roleplaying game, but I also create not only fantasy-themed artwork for children's books, jigsaw puzzles, novels, card games, CD sleeves, advertising and educational brochures, web sites and privately commissioned works of art.
Among the informational flyers and brochures a great deal were done for the Lünen Municipal Sewage Authority: Stadtbetrieb Abwasserbeseitigung Lünen (SAL).
With much love for details I illustrate wimmel pictures for children’s books, most notably Wimmelbücher* for F. X. Schmid (operating as an imprint for Ravensburger Buchverlag), My Busy Day Wimmelbook published by Wimmelbuchverlag, many titles for XENOS Verlag and a lot of jigsaw puzzles for Ravensburger Spieleverlag.
*) For an explanation of 'Wimmelbuch' (pl. Wimmelbücher) please take a look at the pictures on this page.
About this page
In my galleries you'll find works I created for publishers and private clients as well as pictures which arose from my own imagination – which are therefore most precious for me.
Please enter and leave some of the happiness you bring with you. Please enjoy my works!

Goodbye DSA/TDE:
I'm sorry to say that the restructuring at the publishing house of DSA implies that there will be no further DSA illustrations by me. In my case, 'restructuring' meant that the fees for graphics were almost cut by half while the publishing rights for the company were to be expanded to universal. As I make a living from professional drawing, I simply cannot accept hobbyist's or beginner's rates while giving away all rights. Adding up to that was the communications policy of the publisher which left a lot to be desired. And with all that restructuring and redesigning, I'm not sure if that's the way I want to go – maybe my pictures won't fit in anyway ...
But I still will be visiting conventions and sketch your characters there, so I'll stay in touch with DSA that way.
