I have been offering illustration and animated explainer videos since 1998. I have been developing customised graphic recording formats for events, conferences and workshops for my clients since 2002. I believe, with professional images you can communicate more directly, more vividly and more clearly.
I’ve been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. I really enjoy it and have developed an understanding of how to translate visual and life experience into pictures. This motivates me every day and is a constant challenge. Openness and curiosity help. It creates a space where learning is possible – both in terms of content and craftsmanship.
I can focus clearly and I have a feel for relevance. This allows me to make good creative decisions.
I enjoy playing and have the courage to experiment. That’s why I’m own passionate projects, to test and learn from them. With humour as a bottom line it comes lightness, from which charming, mostly colourful ideas bubble up. I can also draw the dark.
My sources of inspiration are diverse: graphics, typography, film, art, design (50s & 60s), old comics & new graphic novels, music & pop culture inspire me. I’m learning a new language, planting trees and harvesting my own vegetables. Time stands still when I’m digging in the ground. I love cats. And picture series. It was great fun to create the typ-o-cat series with over 80 motifs. Exclusively on Instagram.
studio animanova is a freelance one-man business. There are no employees and I enjoy working with my network of experts. As I travel a lot, I am unfortunately unable to offer internships. For young talents who already have some professional experience, I offer one year of individual coaching as a mentor. The application period is from September 15 to October 15 each year by email.
