Illustrations on various health topics for Y Magazine, the in-house magazine of the german army for their soldiers and employees, designed and art directed by C3.
From May 2009 until July 2016 I illustrated about a page monthly on their articles on Health issues in a collage style that combines a humorous and light approach on the article's topic to not make these issues too serious. The illustration style provides an upbeat, comicky, somewhat CGI-kind-of, yet very tactile feel due to the real world surfaces and materials used.

CD Cover, booklet and Disc Artwork for Moti Ma’s album Divine Pearls.
Design of a book called "korreckt – a book about, pro and contra political correctness". Final exam work at graphic design school with a free choice of topic and media. The book contains mostly quotations from other books / papers on the topic showing different juxtaposed opinions and plays with common stereotypes and popular perceptions.
All in all the book does not give a final answer to the reader but raises questions. This is done also by forcing the reader to think about the topic by asking him tricky questions about himself, like for example: "Who is the person in this metro wagon you would feel most uncomfortable sitting next to?"
The book was designed to be printed in white, black and red colour on packing paper.

Financial Times germany needed a comic strip for their friday issue to keep weekend readers entertained.
In cooperation with my old school mate Tillmann Prüfer we developed a crude-humoured, politically uncorrect cartoon strip series called “Rezession und Frohsinn” (“Recession and Happiness”) that i drew entirely on a palm pilot in 160x146 pixels which the readers enjoyed every weekend for about 7 years. It was shortlisted for “Best cartoon in german language” by the german comic/cartoon “Max und Moritz” awards and also shortlisted in the illustrations category of the german art director’s club ADC.
The german cartoon publishing house Ehapa turned select strips later into a deluxe hardcover edition in a special super landscape format.
