a detail of a charcoal drawing I once made for an art portfolio.

Minimalist graphic design of a strongly hilly landscape in Austria.

Some people say that if you want to learn to draw, you should learn from famous painters and copy or study their pictures. i tried this once in a sketch, but i don’t think you can actually recognise the original picture and this strange hand…

Here sit a couple of chilled-out cloven-hoofed animals.

We were at the zoo last November and this pig was just adorable, unfortunately it moved quite quickly. I have a season ticket to the zoo and will practice more quick sketching again soon. 🙂

This is one of three illustrations I created for a search for a new chess trainer for a children’s group. I wonder if there is someone hidden under this rock who is suitable for this job?


This is an old nature study of a cushion. Folds – not so good, maybe I’ll try again soon in a better way.

When I moved to Vienna, one of the things I really wanted to see was the Beethoven Frieze at the Vienna Secession. So I packed my sketchbook and a pen and sat – in front of Corona, of course – down in the basement of the Secession to study the Frieze. In the end, it was just too crowded down there and it was only enough to take a picture of this monkey. The people on site kept talking about a gorilla – but a gorilla looks quite different, doesn’t it? Well, yes. Here is the ape. If you want to know more about this frieze, you can read about it here https://www.gustav-klimt.com/Beethoven-Frieze.jsp.

Only real with bird in beard 🙂
