The Wolf on the Motorbike (About me)
SHORT ESSAY - THE WOLF ON THE MOTORBIKE
I always liked watching illustrations in newspapers and magazines when I was a kid. My dad was sitting in the kitchen at night, listening to free jazz, reading newspapers. At this time, I was painting a lot, like all kids probably do. My first money in school came from drawings for hotels, and small journals. During my studies, I was hired to do the illustrations for a spanish book at Freie Universität Berlin. But I never thought, making a living out of it. These were the 90s! No facebook, no insta, not even mobile phones... I wrote my first email in the students' council and registered for economics and social sciences.
After the graduate degree in Business Administration, I worked several years in software projects in Berlin. I got to know working in agile teams and made friends with the designers and developers. We considered the company as a family, and we stood on the balcony, smoking and debating until late at night. I was lucky to know my spouse, and took a time off to raise a family and have children - and so, life changed again.
Someone told me once: Illustration is not about the inking, it is about the thinking... This kept me on track! I re-started practicing (all miserable!), asking my family for feedback (completely ignorant!). Maybe my experiences as a project manager could help a bit in expressing things visually? I went to some workshops and studied the pictures in newspapers again. I bought a pen tablet and software for manga designers. I ordered business cards, and asked my friends to show me tricks in Photoshop.
Today, I work as a freelance illustrator. Over the time, I learned to work on a more symbolic level. Sometimes, I have to draw weird things like "the wolf on the motorbike", which really makes me questioning my drawing skills! But then, I start imagining, googling, scribbling and sketching - and somehow a new composition turns out. I have a great passion for digital art, and I am happy to realize more and more projects recently. Most inspiring for me, is to learn from my kids drawing freely and joyfully - and, by the projects, knowing wonderful people learning about their businesses and ideas.
Professional background
>> About my professional background: I studied business administration at FU Berlin and graduated with a master's degree. While I was still studying, I started working in a consulting company in the field of business software. As a team, we developed communication campaigns for big companies like Commerzbank, BMW Group or DHL Group, e.g. document management system, recruiting software, e-learning platforms, and many more.
>> I was responsible for a team of >20 people and coordinated the client‘s requirements. After several years of (stressful, but successful) project management, it became my task to set up a new product area, wich now has become a work place for over a hundred people.
>> If you would like to know more about my work, please find full CV on LinkedIn.

>> After a very intense work phase, the family phase brought a professional reorientation. In recent years I have worked very closely with a graphic design team. We designed logos together, created illustrations and websites. Berlin, 2021
Gallery Illustrations & Graphics
>> This is my project gallery, some illustrations of these were used, but mostly ended up in the drawer. I am happy, if you are scrolling through the pictures. Enjoy art, live a happy life. Be creative, and share with others.
>> About use of AI: I don't want to become a prompter for ChatGPT, but I'm getting familiar with these and other AI tools. You can use it like any other technique to achieve your goals or speed up processes.
>> About handmade design: Whether you create an individual graphic or adapt a generated graphic for your own purposes depends on your wishes and budget. Both possibilities can lead to good results. All my graphics and texts on this page are created manually. If AI is used for any purpose, you will find a small notice!
>> About the pandemic & homeoffice: It's good to work at home, but it's also nice drinking coffee and chatting with colleagues in the office and nothing can replace that. What I like, is that a lot of things have become hybrid, so you can get the best of both worlds.
