Twisted is back!

My webcomic Twisted is back. The independent, dark comic features a lot of pitch black humor and crimson red commentary and centers around 4 dysfunctional Ladies.

I update it Tuesdays. I am deeply enjoying working on this, even though that style is not marketable. Comics always force me to learn a lot of stuff I could study.

If you enjoy black comedy, are a fan of splatter and drama, some noir and crime, conspiracy, feel invited to follow the ongoing story on http://www.twistedcomic.net (English) or http://www.twistedcomic.de (German)

I started the story in 2001 through 2004, reworked the script and redrew it until 2007 and applied at a publisher, who never wrote back. Since I have this story burning in me and finished in rough script, I need to get it out. Luckily, the web let's me play around with some animation and alternative formats and presentations. 

Book 1 (first 24 pages) are from 2007. Starting with book 2, you will see pages from 2013.

Welcome! And not for kids ; )

the calendar of 2013

First of all, I started a facebook page just about my artworks and appreciate every follower. There I organize news and projects:

This week I finished a calendar for 2013. I decided to do one quite late - to be precise 2 weeks ago, because I really missed drawing my dates onto the wall and did not find a calendar I liked. Since this is so late, I offer the print-file as a free download.

It's A2 and organized in weeks, with the summer months occupied by tentacly goodness - as it should be.

BUND-comic competition finalists

I love working with Maren Marmulla. Luckily, we found out last minute about the competition of the BUND (Friends of Earth, Germany). The task was to make sailors aware of the problems of sea pollution.

Read the 3 page PDF.

We did not win but were honored as one of the best entries. Thank you for this competition, and thanks to Maren again for the great collaboration. It's always fun!

Art prints

Greetings dear visitors!

I have been asked repeatedly for art prints. My goal was to offer high quality prints on very good paper and the closest possible match to the original colors for a good price, so that everybody might be able to afford them. These are the three that made it into a first edition:

Art Print Set

I put them up in singles and in a package over at my dawanda store. Every image is numbered (the first edition has 10 of each image) and signed. If you wish for a personal dedication, just tell me. They come at 10 Euro and 25 Euro combined and are A3. I send them in an cardboard A3 envelope so the images are not rolled or folded. Shipping is 4-5 Euro.

I hope, i did not miscalculate international shipping because for A3 Maxi Letter it seems to be cheaper internationally.

Have a nice day!

Geheimnisvolle Bibliotheken

In February I finished the last strokes on a dear and fun project: An 8 pages short comic for "Geheimnisvolle Bibliotheken" Mysterious Libraries. A dark fantasy collection by Carolin Gmyrek, featuring 23 short stories and all together 3 comics. I really liked the idea to weave the comics into the prose. The titles of the comics read one sentence together. My word was "Schweigend" being silent.


It's a small, viciously inked story about a post apocalyptic library and its last inhabitant. I love having the last "word" in this 400pages strong book.
Thank you very much for asking me and giving me the opportunity to tell a story.
Available on Amazon. (German)

Diploma

On the 10th of July I had my final presentation for my Diploma. I got the best grade possible and am very thankful for this. A lot of people helped me to realize this work - starting with my parents and my husband, followed by the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and the people directly involved in this Project. The motion designers Christian Neie and Lisa Scheumer, the Band van Canto and the Producer, Texter and Author of the Metaproject Peer Returns: Gregor Hopf.

I presented the Music Video for Peer Returns and a concept to make it interactive.
