Magazine cover

The theme for the latest issue of the magazine initiativbanking is corporate public responsibility. Here's my cover, inspired partially by the comic book depiction of the miniaturised city of Superman's birth: 

Just published! The new energy magazine for which I regularly illustrate the cover:

This is how I do it:

So mache ich es:

Energy is a big theme in the German media. The chaos in the energy legislation gave rise to this illustration for a double page magazine spread as an intro to a long article.

He became an American social reformer, orator and writer for the causes of the abolition of slavery and the rights of women and held many public offices. Here's my portrait of him:

This is one of a series of portraits I'm doing for a poster which will be appearing 2013.

Its been a few months since I posted any new works, so here is a small selection from the heap:
