Monster Limericks

Hi there!

I just finished my diploma book Monster Limericks, and you

might have been able to check it out if you dropped by our booth

this past Frankfurt Book Fair.

This has easily been my biggest project to date, and it

took me ages to find the right tone and direction for it - the

actual drawing (and writing!) part pretty much happened

in the usual super-intense couple of weeks.

I portrayed 7 monsters on two double-pages each, along

with hand-drawn limericks. I really enjoyed writing those,

mostly because this form of poetry always had this really

interesting, crass and silly quality, which was a perfect

match for my little misfits! 

The book is in german, but also contains rough english

translations in the back.

You can also directly order them via

Enjoy!

Very best  too you        IB

Food

This are a few pages of my mikrokosmos booklet, for the third edition. I think the topic is clear :) It's going about food. I look foreward to see it printed.

Latest work

... this depressive dinosaur/monster is one of the last drawings for the booklet. I'm currently starting to do the texts.

I'm just coming back from Hamburg, if there's an oppurtunity, have a look at the very nice zine and artist-book assortment of the DRUCKDEALER.

Wild Children

Mystic figures like "monkey boys", "wolf girls", or "gazelle boys" for example are all part of the lore of wild children. Those feral children have grown up with little or no human contact, and they are therefore unaware of human social behavior or language.

All over the world, all though history the stories about those cases are secretive and fascinating.

T.C. Boyle wrote in one of his last books about the story of Victor of Aveyron in France, 1799. And even the well known 200 year old drama of Kaspar Hauser is deeply interesting me. So again by way of trial I started some illustrations.

Mugshots

Here's a selection of mugshots I have been making during the past 37 weeks for the magazine Knack Focus. Every week they published an article about a famous individual from the cultural scene, which has been in contact with the court of justice.

Das große Rauschen - Out now!

„Oleg sieht kleine Quadrate, das Stahlseil surrt, dann sieht er nichts mehr. In seinem Kopf ist ein großes Rauschen.“

We are very proud to announce that our longtime graphic novel project „Das große Rauschen“ – 50 short-stories from the heart of the capital city Berlin – will be available at 18th June, published by the Verlagshaus J. Frank, Berlin. 

You can order the book here.

Poste Aérienne at MEAKUSMA

live drawing event with Boris Servais and Adrian Wylezol at invitation of Mea Kusma, Alter Schlachthof, Eupen (BE)

It was a cool experience to see our small-size ink, pen and crayon drawings projected on this impressive big wall, with the sounds of Sohrab, Innercity and Midnight Opera.

We were hooked very quickly, we both have forgotten time and
we're pretty sure that we'll do events like this again.

Big thanks to Christophe and Michael from Mea Kusma,

the artists and everybody else - it was great!

A Growing Mountain Of... Stuff.

I´ve been doing a lot of editorial work in the past

weeks. Above is a piece for the business section of

DIE ZEIT, on the topic of whether or not we

need the old economist ideas.

Here´s one from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung

about how a lot of people can have very risky hobbies yet tend

to be very cautious when it comes to planning their

finances.

And to balance things out a little:

Some skeletons! I hope I will be able to do more personal

work in the future again, but I also really enjoy

doing editorial illustration.

Cheers,

Frederik

illu12 ⋄ Illustratoren Festival

Welcome to the biggest rhineland festival of illustration to date!!


illu12 takes place in Cologne the coming weekend, from 20th-22nd of April in DQE. 43 exhibitors from Cologne and NRW show their work and reveal details of their creative process. Wether you're illustrator, art lover or creative professional, make sure to drop by, it's a fine opportunity to meet artists and chat about their work.

Boris Servais talks about the phenomenon of "alternative illustration" on Saturday, 16h. The example of three contemporary artists, Henrik Drescher, Benoît Jacques and Barron Storey, offers insights in their unique working techniques in the scene of independent illustration.

The programm of events includes workshops, discussion forums and live drawing. One of the contributors for our coming Mikrokosmos Edition, Lars Henkel, designed the key-visual for the festival, an hommage to Maurice Sendaks Where the Wild Things are.

Home Sweet Home

The Atelierhaus Salzamt Linz called to design a postcard according to the topic "Home Sweet Home" for the NEXTCOMIC-Festival 2012. Accepted techniques were painting, drawing, comics, illustration and collage. All submitted postcards take part in the exhibition "Home Sweet Home - drawing, houses and postcards" in the Atelierhaus Salzamt from March 15th till April 30th 2012.

One hundred international motives are shown in a small full color catalogue.

Collage - Sites of Crime

There are two sites of crime with different use of physical strength, that are bound to occur in format vary.

While the first, C.Pom still acts as a "deskperson", Ib Jorn deals with "Wrestling-Power" since a few months. He fights a glorious battle of materials with great show of strength!
