Gift Wrap for Christmas







































I'm taking part in a creative competition by Flow Magazin – they are looking for wrapping paper designs for Christmas. My contribution is more playful than festive. Hope the jury will like it.

German ABC Poster





























This ABC Poster has 26 names of fruits and vegetables (well, 24 to be correct - couldn't find fruits or veggies with "U" and "X"). It would be nice for your kid's room, but it would look good in your kitchen too.

Poster for Kid's Musical







































This week our daughter will perform with the school choir in another amazing kid's musical called ZÄPP. The ZÄPP character zaps around TV programs, where children sing, dance and act like serial actors. The musical is all TV themed this year.

Cologne City Poster





























This poster was overdue: kid's poster of our home town Cologne. There's a lot to discover for the little ones: the Cathedral (Dom ), the Rhine, the Altstadt (old town) and much more. Which city will be next?

New Children's Greeting Cards










































This is my latest work for my label "Familie kleiner Tiere". I wanted to create cards that can be used for the Easter holidays as well as for various occasions during spring time. As usual I combined the illustrations with well known German children's songs and nursery rhymes.

City-Bred







































A slightly more colorful interpretation of my black and white Lady from 2014. I will submit it to Illustration Friday for this week's topic "Metropolis". I always wanted to submit my work to this wonderful illustration blog/website, but never made it. Today is the day.

Illustrated German Nursery Rhymes






























After I have been creating nursery posters with German children's songs for awhile, I decided to start a new poster line with German nursery rhymes. Here comes the first one: "Piep, piep, piep, wir haben uns alle lieb. Jeder esse, was er kann, nur nicht seinen Nebenmann. Und wir nehmen's ganz genau, auch nicht seine Nebenfrau. Guten Appetit!" This is a basic rhyme to say with little kids in kindergarten or at home before a meal.
