Oh joy! FFFFOUND, the most comprehensive of all graphic design bookmarking sites has ffffound a whole collection of my designs.

Evolution of Type, Fig. 1-6

For some of the last century´s most famous type designers the alphabet was the greatest achievement of mankind. To me all single members of the alphabet are similar to organic substance. Type always has been transformed not only according to fashion and style but also to prevailing political and philosophical mindset.

For your inspiration

Graphic hub "Lava360°" encludes 2 of my designs in their list of inspirational vintage style posters. Great artworks all along this listing. Thanks Lava360°!

Questionman

Having managed to survive for numerous decades Supie nowadays seems so hopelessly outdated by X-Box heroes and the like. What does a modern superhero have to look like?

One Day, Part 1

My latest piece. This time I drove the moral pen - the title says it all. On their list of endangered species the World Wildlife Fund lists the polar bear as an iconic animal, a flagship species, that provides a focus for raising awareness. Because of melting ice the polar bear is forced to swim large distances and the first drowned bears already have been discovered. In my drawing the polar bear wears a bathrobe to illustrate this cruel fact.

I recently rediscovered this order form for merchandise included in my 1978 Commodores´LP album "Natural High". And I fell immediately in love with the blue T-Shirt (with silver metallic print!).

Splendid! Formatmag.com, picocool.com and existingvisual.com feature my papercuts and top it with a nice description. To see what this is about check out my "Objects" album on Flickr and the feature on formatmag.com, picocool.com and existingvisual.com.

Revelation

“There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go." (Tennesse Williams)

JF

My second virtual engraving, this time it´s young Jane Fonda, actress and peace activist. Jane´s hair gave me a bloody hard time, next time I will try with Telly Savalas.

Major

Finally, after endless tries, I have managed to recreate engraving style line art from regular grayscale images. It is a complicated process and my respect for old age engravers grew with every single "Undo"-command. By carefully placing lines of varying weight, scale, curvature and distance to each other an engraver was able to simulate color, surface, depth and dimension with striking accuracy. This art is almost totally lost today.

The Photo Shoppe Toolbox

Best of both worlds - DTP and vintage print. I just had to experiment to see if this goes together.
