Goats, Mexican street art, and supporting a more wholesome digital world – Letter from the studio, November 2025

So I did not manage to send a letter from Mexico 😌. I thought I could just say hello, but on the other hand I had prepared material for a full-blown letter, while not really knowing how to handle it from my mobile phone. Also, jetlag, illnesses, and overwhelm from so many strange and new experiences (and no, in Mexico City – a.k.a. CDMX for ‘Ciudad De MeXico’ 😊️ – you can’t get far speaking English / no Spanish 😬️). So the letter did not happen…

Anyway, here I am now with some eye candy for you 😘️!

Sketches, a tractor, and an inspirational illustrator – Letter from the studio, September 2025

As I’m scrambling to prepare for the Frankfurt Book Fair next month – creating new pieces, promotional material, and a book pitch – all while continuing to work on my comic, I’m taking a moment to write this letter, a calm moment to reflect.

I hope that reading the letter is creating a calm moment for you too, a pause in your busy day :)

Sorry (not too sorry ;)), this will be a long one! At the time I would have been supposed to write the June letter I was in Swedish Lapland, paddling in a packraft, sleeping in a hammock, hiking in a pathless forest, or driving our camper van… It was a bit too much so I had to skip the letter – but shot all the more photos 😅.

A self-portrait and some Angoulême Comics Festival vibes – Letter from the studio, February 2025

1 Comment on A self-portrait and some Angoulême Comics Festival vibes – Letter from the studio, February 2025

The main event in my February took place at the very beginning (starting in January, strictly speaking ;)): the International Comics Festival in the small town of Angoulême! I am lucky to have friends there, so that I can both visit them and have a conveniently located accommodation – which is really hard to come by during the festival.

Drawing makeover! The little prince and the fox

Post date 2023-08-22

I did the initial drawing (digitally, although it looks like colour pencil ;)) while working on my illustrated adaptation of ‘The Little Prince’. In order to advertise the upcoming book at French convention Japan Expo, I handed out this flyer at my stand (the image displays front and back side by side): I was very […]
