illustration for chrismon-magazine

This week the monthly magazine chrismon came out as an supplement to the geman newspapers "Der Tagesspiegel", “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”, "Süddeutsche Zeitung", “Potsdamer Neueste Nachrichten", “Mitteldeutsche Zeitung”, “Schweriner Volkszeitung” and “Die Zeit". I illustrated an article about unconditional basic income. This subject is in discussion in germany and a kind of social philosophy. The state is giving money anyway - to support enterprices with huge benefits (especially today) and to the people: to finance people that are not on the job market, for example parents - that do important work as well and socially deprived. The decoupling of income and work is supposed to give everybody the freedom of choice to do what he wants and not what he is forced to do to earn his living. Of course the lazy stay lazy - but the work of people with ideas and engagement will be acknowledged much better. And shitty jobs have to be made much more attractive to find someone to do them :--)

The online version of the article is linked here. Below my illustration plus some extra ones ...
 

ILLUMAT, again ...

To the occasion of the block party "Bunte Republik Neustadt" the ILLUMAT was together with guest
in action in my hometown Dresden. It is a huge feast with a lot of kids jumping around.
We hope we made them and all others happy with the drawings they got from the "illustration machine".
Next date / next week at the annual exhibition of the Bauhaus-University.

Here just some samples, more pictures from all artists at our blog!

Out now :--)

This is my graphic interpretation of Cees Nootebooms short story "Stockholm, Barcelona, Stockholm". It comes as a picture book with extra textbook and is limited to 50 pieces. I really liked the story since a long time and finally finished the project these days. It is available at the shops of Tschau-Tschüßi in Leipzig and at the Bauhaus-Shop in Weimar - or just contact me. Here are some of the 17 pages :
