For a recent job, I got to try out a more painterly style.

I just rediscovered this magazine cover illustration I drew over 10 years ago. I think I've learned a lot since then, but I'm not sure I still know how to draw something this madly unhinged.
Cartoony illustration: a man's head with the top part of the skull missing. Bursting out of the hole, there's like a dozen crazy screaming, sweating monsters, freaks and weirdos.

Der neue #Asterix! Gestern im Aldi mitgenommen und direkt gelesen.

Solides Asterix-Reiseabenteuer mit ein paar guten Gags und sehr schönen Zeichnungen.
Nach dem eher konservativ anmutenden Vorgängerband gibt es diesmal etwas Kolonialismus- und Kapitalismuskritik.

On my way back home with some new comics.

Buchmesse was a lot of fun! I don’t think I‘ve ever signed this many books in one weekend

It's #PortfolioDay! I'm a cartoonist & illustrator from Berlin and I love to draw comics, character designs, kid's books, and much more...

Book cover: Heavysaurus. A band of heavy-metal dinosaurs play an open air concert for a bunch of kids. Character design sketches of a grinning blond boy with a hockey stick. Comic cover: Tracht Man. A bavarian superhero with a blond mustache and a puzzled expression looks back over his shoulder at the reader, fist raised. In the background, a trio of comical super villains make silly poses. Tourists step through a glowing time portal into a primeval jungle. They take cell phone pictures of a couple of t-rex-like dinosaurs.

To promote the comic and audio plays at Heavysaurus concerts, I designed this flyer with an abbreviated version of the comic prologue:
A comic page that shows a witch playing electric guitar atop a magical mountain and discovering some dinosaur eggs from which the heavy-metal kids' band Heavysaurus hatches. Title: Heavysaurus - wie alles begann...

Flat view at a book on top of a box of more copies of the same book. Comic cover. Text at top: “Adrian vom Baur - HeavySaurus: Vorhang auf für den Dino-Metal!” A five-piece dinosaur rock band is standing on an open-air stage playing a concert. In the foreground enthusiastic children doing the heavy metal hand sign. In the background a mountain struck by lightning.

Neuer Podcast! @evejay.bsky.social & ich reden endlich über die aktuelle 3. Staffel #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds. Kann sie an die Highlight-Season Nr. 2 anschließen oder war es eher eine Gasleck-Season?

Hört rein: soundcloud.com/dreckundgold...

Im News-Teil: Star Trek: Khan & Star Trek: Scouts.
Podcast cover: Trek & Gold: Strange New Worlds season 3. A blond man and a blonde woman in classic Starfleet uniforms, drawn in the cartoony style of Star Trek: Lower Decks, look at each other happily against a starry backdrop.
