Another Project i have is to illustrate japanese "youkai","bakemono" (demons/ghosts) for some kind of fact book. I´m very interested in these old folk storys and wish there were such kind of book where i can read all those facts about the "youkai". So i came up with the idea to make one by myself.
It took me a long time to find the right style for the illustrations of the "youkai". Here are two examples for that:

kitsune / Fox

rokuro-kubi / Pulley Neck

One of my current Projects is to illustrate Posters for the japanese series "Utahime". I want to improve my skills in drawing faces. I really like to draw people but i´m very slow at it.
I love "Utahime" it´s such a warm and charming story and appeals like a stage play. The characters are wonderful, thats why i choosed this series for my Artworks.

If you´re interested in Japan like me, you may know
these little wodden dolls named Kokeshis. I really love them and collect
them.
But thats difficult because they are hard to get in germany (once i´ve
found one ^^) and i have to order them from Japan. So i thought about
making them myself:

My first handmade Kokeshi. I named her Haruko.

Again, i decided to change my Layout and decided to run this website in
english for now on. (still learning, i´m sorry for any mistakes.)
On thursday 6. May there will be an exhibition at the school where i´m studying. I hope i will be able to take some pictures to show here on my website.
I have a lot of projects to do at the moment and i will show some details about them soon.
I hope you enjoy your stay and if you want me do an illustration work for you, feel free to ask.
