This is a hilarious story about a bear that fell in love with a fish. For that, I drew some crazy pictures/I have made some crazy illustrations, wondering what kind of children they would have together: bear-fish, fish-bears, fibearshs?

The region of Hettstedt in Germany is famous for its ore mining tradition. Legend has it that the first copper ores were found accidentally by two diggers named Nappian and Neucke. The local Mansfeld-Museum published a book featuring this “Legend of Nappian and Neucke”, and I was asked to do the illustrations.
This book is the perfect guide for kids wanting to sow their own bags. It includes sewing patterns and easy step-by-step instructions. Yeah, let’s start sewing.
The German language is changing. Some words have lost their purpose, other words are just not cool any more. And there are new expressions as well, like “YOLO” or “hangry,” used particularly by younger age groups.
This collection of words explains the meaning of rare and new expressions, thus saving them from extinction and preserving them for future generations.
For people of the “older generation” – like me –, this book is also a great guide to understanding teen slang.

St. Francis Primary School (St. Franziskus Grundschule) in Halle is a very remarkable place: It is one of the first schools in Germany located in a zero-energy building. Special houses like these come with special instructions, e.g. you are not allowed to open a window – an important rule that each pupil needs to keep in mind. For this reason, every little school starter receives this book with explanations, instructions and environment-related projects, written in fun and easy language for children but also suitable for parents or sponsors. All illustrations were made by me.
