The Offspring Linz gig poster

Yay! I had the chance to design another gig poster for The Offspring. This time for their recent show in Linz, Austria. Linz is also called Steel City  – that’s why I came up with this monstrous creature made up of blast furnaces and chimneys and The Offspring’s iconic flaming skull.

The posters are beautifully screen printed by Dr. Knoche in Vienna and I have a couple of signed and numbered copies (limited to 35 APs) available in my store!

Thx again to Chris & the rest of the team over at Collectionzz for making this happen!

Two new comic books!

Good news, everyone! I just finished not one but two comic books! I’ll self-publish them later this month and The Lonely Organ #1 and Speiserest in Peace are now available for pre-order in my store (please note they’re in German language!). Here are the covers:

14,8x21cm, 36 pages, full colour, German language

14,8x21cm, 52 pages, b/w, German language

Both stories started during 24-Hour Comics Day in Vienna back in 2023 and 2024. I failed finishing either story within 24 hours but I decided to continue nonetheless. So one and a half years later I’ll finally be able to show you the finished books!

I will present them on May 28 at Vienna Underground Comix Day & Night at Literaturhaus Wien where I will talk about my process and my experience with 24-Hour Comics Day. There’ll be a comic market that starts at 4 PM and my presentation begins at 7 PM. There will be more talks by Janne Marie Dauer, Franz Suess, Potatoe Publishing, TONTO! and more. I will also attend Vienna Comix on May 31 & June 1 at Marx Halle. If you happen to be in Vienna I hopefully see you there!

A big shout out to Monika Ernst for organising both 24-Hour Comics Days and Zeichenfabrik Wien and OeGeC for the support!

If you want to help me make more comic there’s also a Super Supporter Pack available with signed comics and a lots of goodies!

Original art for sale

Yay! Our Kickstarter campaign is 35% funded. There’s still quite a bit left but I’m staying optimistic.

I just added some affordable original drawings as a new reward level. They’re all about printing and drawing or they’re Vienna-themed. And yes, they feature cats and dogs.

You can get your hands on one of my original artworks and help me keep our Vienna International Gig Poster Show admission free. The campaign runs until Tuesday, October 24th. Thanks for your support!
