welcome to the universe of #beautifulcreatures
The universe of #beautifulcreatures is a colorful, exotic and magical world. It’s rooted in reality but extends to the unlimited world of imagination. It combines the beautiful creations of Mother Nature such as animals, plants and the human body with a fantastic, weird, and slightly bizarre touch – it enhances the world as we know it and beyond.
Merry Xmas
During Christmas, Mary and her loyal monkey “Krampus” volunteer to assist Santa Clause in bringing Christmas presents. Krampus, despite the origin of his name, is a cheerful soul and likes to reward those who have been good and kind. Mary on the other hand, being a dominatrix in her previous life has found her true calling; demonstrating to those who have misbehaved, the consequences of being naughty.

Happy Halloween
Aeon, the fighting cock, loved to watch wrestling when he was young and thus picked up the habit of wearing a mask in all his fights. As tonight is Halloween, he decided to swap his yellow & black mask for a little orange pumpkin. Phyla the bat, really likes his gorgeous look.

Jurassic Lines
Celsius, the ink-lined dinosaur, is said to live in a world of different shades of gray. Recent research however has shown that he actually can see one color: Red. Young at age and very playful, he couldn’t resist to tear apart the red line with his sharp teeth. With his strong neck muscles it was quite easy for him.

The Sneaker
Kane, a long-legged creature, sneaks into your dreams when the night is dark and all is silent. Stealthy and unnoticed, he messes with the tiniest details of your dreams like moving a cup from one side of the desk to the other. Did you just have this déjà vu sensation of having seen this green and orange jacket already before?

The Thinker
“The Thinker” is a sculpture by Hie Trek Nth, the founder of modern sculpturing on planet Hither. The work depicts the naked figure of a typical male philosopher on his planet. Noteworthy is the special headgear, a status symbol in the guild of philosophers. To sculpt the body he used a special, non-reflective variant of kryptonite.

It wasn’t me
Mattes is a very clumsy person. Whenever you happen to drop a glass or break a mirror, before you blame yourself, check if it wasn’t him. Sometimes you can catch a glimpse of him escaping silently on tip toes from the “crime” scene. But you have to be very quick and observant as he is definitely a master of tiptoeing.

illustrations
My illustration style ranges from black and white to colorful, from (colored) pens to brush pens and from Copic Markers to watercolors; mixed media techniques. A lot of my motives evolve around the universe of #beautifulcreatures, but are not limited to the series. Sizes are mostly smaller formats up to DIN A4.
paintings
Acrylic and oil colors provide a wonderful supplement to my line-based and small-sized illustrations. I like to experiment with large formats, more plane-based techniques as well as the art of mixing colors and other techniques such as spraying, working on different backgrounds – alongside different processes.


digital art
Digital art is the newest category I added to my portfolio. Searching for the sweet spot of combining classical sketching skills with the unlimited possibilities of today’s digital applications, I enriched my artworks with a cartoon/comic style – even more colorful, loud and trendy.
