2025 Recap

Here’s a selection of projects I had the pleasure to work on back in 2025.

In spring I teamed up with my fellow poster artist Dr. Knoche to exhibit our posters in my hometown of Feldkirch. The art show was called Dr. Knacker and took place at Pulverturm – a medieval tower for storing gunpowder built in 1460. Thanks to OKFK for hosting and shout-out to UH! Batman and Heavy Kevy for playing live! Dr. Knoche and me teamed up to design two posters for the event.

In May 2025 I released two new self-published comic books – The Lonely Organ #1 and Speiserest in Peace. 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. They’re both available in my store. Please note that they’re in German (hopefully there’ll be an English version soon!). Here are the covers…

Finally someone asked me to draw some brains! 🙂 I got a call from the European Academy of Neurology to design a poster for their Brain Health Mission. I had a real blast illustrating these 16 Brain Health Essentials.

And finally my brains socks which I initially designed for my Brainwashing Machine installation came to life…

I also did a couple of gig poster last year for Goose, Kreisky and The Offspring

I had the privilege to see how my buddy EPHK‘s new book Harpy came to life. I was able to follow this awesome project from the first idea to the rough layouts to the finished book. And above all I was asked to contribute a pin-up drawing of the book’s main character Gunnie. I highly recommend Harpy which is out now from Living The Line. Here’s the cover and my pin-up…

I was also busy with designing a poster for Lil Big Arena at my favourite venue Arena Wien, a pin-up drawing for ACID #1: Acid Noir, some illustrations for BeerLovers‘ 10th anniversary, a series of postcards for AK Vorarlberg in collaboration with Tobias Ludescher and Zeughaus, a postcard for KABINETT comic passage and a The Little Shop of Horrors movie poster for a project by Hireillo called Video Shop: The Blockbuster Experience.

Thanks everybody for their trust and interest in my work! And a Happy New Year 2026! ♥
