In einem alten Skizzenbuch gefunden. Mir ist so, als hätte ich das noch nicht onlineveröffentlicht. Damit jetzt, wo gerade der Thilo in aller Munde ist, unsere anderen Pappenheimer nicht vergessen werden.
Editio: Achso, und ich mag diesen Artikel auf SPON zum Thema Migration in Deutschland sehr. Einfach ergänzend reinlesen, Kinners.
Ages ago in second semester uni we had this photoshop class where we were supposed to do some photo manipulation. The subject was “me in 100 years” and I came up with this one. I think I had a lot of fun even though my prof didn’t get the joke then. Anyhow, since I am going through my backup disks, there is probably going to be a lot of crude stinky old stuff on this blog. Cheers!

Also, celebrating the “Walking dead” Comic adaption into TV-Land!
In this lovely video illustrator Pascal Campion talks about the storytelling, draftsmanship, emotions and superpowers in a way that really spoke to me. He elaborates on his motivations to draw and how he sees arists in the relationship to themselves and to their audience. He really adressed some anxieties that I am battling almost on a daily basis and he made me a little more confident and happy. His beautyful work matches this bright and sympathetic artist. Thank you, Pascal. And thank you Character Design Blog for sharing.
In 2004, my first comic book was published by INKplosion. Its name was “Versus” and I co-wrote and penciled the book with boywonder Christian Mana Nauck, it was inked by madman Michael Vogt and Sven Strangmeier made it all colorful. The book had a very cool making of part and a comic history written by überbrain Björn Wederhake. Those were the days my friend and are often romantized by generations of comic fans. In 2006, I made Versus 2, which was a give-away at the Comic Salon Erlangen 2006, when there was also the Football World Cup going on in Germany. Versus 2 was of the size of a calling card. Here I give you the full comic experience for free because all my current shit is top secret and I feel like reminiscing.
And here a cover that was not used, featuring a member of the L.E.S.B.O. Force:
This scene will be in my next upcoming romcom with Cam Diaz and Ben Stiller. Guest appearance: Brook Leznar as the Chef in the cosy hipster jazz restaurant. Katsching!

Swedish Junkboy made some awesome pixel rerenderings of current and classic video games. I particulary like the many insight jokes and how he suggested old school game mechanics and aesthetics for current games. When we see his Pixel rendering for Brütal Legend (above) he also gives a salute to creaotor Tim Schaefer’s Monkey Island roots (And possibly the wish that Brütal Legend didnt suck so bad, but that is my reading 
). Those little tidbits make it not only fun to try to recognize games but also bring a delicious layer of contemplation to the project that make it that much more fun. I just love stuff like that!

This wonderful short film is a great way to start the week.
SMILE!
Being such a creative guy and stuff, I started using these cards to gather, organize and structure some of my ideas. All too often though, these cards are mindlessly doodled on instead of being used for preparing the next True New Moon Potter Blood Saga (TM) that will make me gazillons of sweet sweet money. Getting ideas has never been a big problem for me – but applying them in a useful and orderly manner can be a hustle. So, where to dump these drawings, if not into the interwebs, right? In unrelated news, check out Beating the little hater and When ideas have sex, my webpics of the week.
Here are some frames from a project I have been running on the side for awhile. I hope, it’ll be done by the end of the year. The soundtrack is done and most of the animation too but I won’t be able to complete it for quite awhile. Since the characters float around here all the time and get on my fucking cracker, I’ll just give them some outlet on here.
I don’t know about this swarm intelligence thing and as much as I can appreciate open source solutions, I don’t know how far altruism is going to get us with these problems. The film however, is beautyful from start to finish and has a gripping narrative. It also uses the swarm intelligence aspect in filmmaking, even though here the narrative structure and intention was of course prewritten and the work delegated to different parties. Check it out and if you want, find out more here.
