wallpaperthoughts

I decided to put myself into a whole new area by taking part on a wallpaper competition.

Before this project I would have never expected to think that much about wallpapers at all!

But it´s actually a very interesting theme to work on and I´m looking forward to present my final peace. This is just a little tryout from the very first beginning to show. I´m not allowed to update more stuff from the further going process. So, this is it for now.

das digitale Manchmal

weil man manchmal nicht mehr basteln mag.

Ich hätte ja nicht gedacht dass es mal soweit kommt, aber tatsächlich sehne ich mich nach einer wahnsinnig exzellenten Experimentierwoche und einem permanent anhaltenden, autonomen Pegel künstlerischer Freiheit nach meinem MacBook zurück. Nach Farben in RGB und graden Flächen und nach kleberfreien Fingerspitzen. Ich habe schonmal angefangen...

paperworks was an collaboration project based on a novel

Abstract 2D forms became illustrations, illustrations became 3D forms and 3D forms became a scenario forming a whole new story

"Das Tapfere Schneiderlein"

The book is based on the fairy tale "the valiant little tailor". I kind of wrote the story new without removing the basic statement. I introduced new, more childish characters and tried to made the book less brutal by finding modern solutions to communicate the basic idea of the fairy tale.

For example in my story the valiant little tailor isn´t going to murder the two colossus, he founds out about their love for ice-cream, opens an ice cream parlor with Norbert and Attila and instead of fighting with each other they´re happy icemen at the end.
