Printing out greeting cards for my client, a copy & paste error occured. It's high quality paper, so I drew my selfie beside it. In reality, I'm a lean person.

Inking and draw does build muscles after all.

My trip to Ireland, day 1 & 2 ☘️
Arriving at Dublin Airport, riding in a cool blue bus to an old pal o' mine in Galway, getting up early the next morning for driving to Westport, hired bikes, rode the Great Western Greenway, lunched in Newport, made it back in time to return the bikes.

Visiting Ireland for a long weekend. Have some catching up to do with an Irish friend I made back in 1989.

There will be an occasional beer and perhaps a wee whiskey.

Have a good time yourselves 🇮🇪

Tak! Beware of falling nuts. Autumn is here. Crows pickup nuts, fly up in the air and drop them over hard ground. The nut cracks open and the crows are festing on walnuts. Their cleverness is amazing.

Had to take a breather, as you may have guessed from my last post. Good to see you're still around here, too 🙂.

When I work on originals, I usually have a second drawing on stand-by. For that, I ink someof the details, like the business woman that you can see here. It's my playground for trying out stuff.

Here, I tried out the watercolour for the shrubs, the skin and her blouse. 1/2

To many people, this badge means A LOT. I used it as a hidden joke in a recent job. Personally, I don't know anything about football. Until this day, I was unable to understand the concept of "offside"

Have a good, joyfull and sportmanlike weekend everybody 🏉

My illustration agency asked me whether I'd like to contribute to their regular Friday newsletter. On one condition: it must suit their motto "hands in the air, the week ends now".

I immediately envisioned a character with silly little hands. The world can always use another T-Rex.

Happy weekend 🤗

More doodles with my new TWSBI fountain pen. Apparently, it enjoys drawing silly stuff 😄

Happy weekend

Another doodle with my rather recently acquired TWSBI fountain pen. I ordered a fountain pen with an "M" nib. As you can see "M" stand for morbid, apparently 😁.

Recently, I ordered a TWSBI foutain pen after the video. It looks as though they are very popular among #usk

First quick doodle. It is very much different from the Tombow brush pens, I normally use.

Am 5. und 6. Juli findet in Gönnheim der 3. Pfälzer Comic-Salon statt, der sich in kurzer Zeit zu einem Geheimtipp in der deutschen Comic Szene gemausert hat. Parallel dazu findet das Streetart Festival statt.

Trefft bekannte Gesichter aus der deutschen Comic Szene und mich 🙂

Remember my cyclopath from early May? I recently started another version of the character.

As you can see, the cyclopath has opened a shop of his own in the meantime. Apparantly, business is picking up 😎.

Inking is not completed though.

This Wednesday, I completed the watercolour of the "phare du coq", located at Benodet, departement #finistère in #breizh.

I tried to capture the popping colours of my photo. Pic 2 ink with some basic colour, pic 3 the real stuff.

Complete the 2nd tutorial by Matty Burnham - the motive is simply called "lighthouse". Pic 3 shows Matty's result, pic 4 is the reference dutch lighthouse.

The study version for the last motive "the bothy". I played with my way of doing outlines: less perfectionism and more loose style. Initially, I used this version for working on a smooth colour transition for the sky.

I love playing with words. The other day, my head turned the word pyschopath into a cyclopath. The artist in me tried to figure out what made a cyclopath. Here is what.

Cartoon style Inking of a psychopath with his fixie bike. Together, they make a cyclopath: a guy with a hoodie and a Hannibal Lector style face mask. Strapped to his rucksack are a hammer and a pair of pincers. Blood is seeping through the bottom of the rucksack.

A hoodie and a bicycle. Trying out #fudenosuke #brushpen on #cansonpaper. Result is quite satisfying - the ink does not bleed 😅

Bit of a sombre mood, but with humour (I think) 😁

When my mother had died, I didn't feel any pain. We had a difficult relation. My own way of dealing with it was to turn my story into a graphic shortstory. You can download it from my website. Use the URL in the pic below.

Today, 2 yrs ago, my mother died. #ThrowbackThursday

I didn't grieved her death then. We had broken up in the early 1990s. Not feeling any grief left me feeling guilty. I started to capture my story in a graphic short novel.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away 🍏 (12)

🔸I will pause my series of Oranges and Eggs. While it is great fun to come up with new episodes, I have to try to find a way to monetize it. 🔸

Today: #infection
#inking #comicart #watercolor #humour #orange #cartoon #eggprices #marcusrepp #comicartist
Cartoon about an anthropomorphic orange. The orange is sorrounded by 3 anthropomorphic eggs. One of the eggs sort of jumps into the air. It looks as though the egg presses very hard. As a result. the egg's face turns orange, too. The female egg admires this with and exclamation of "OMG!" Subtitle: 2025 - the year when oranges became highly infectious.

Trump and Putin spoke about Ukraine and had an exchange of opinions. What does it mean?

Putin exchanged Trump’s opinion against his own.
