I got featured in the latest issue of Eltern, a parenting magazine from Germany (Gruner+Jahr publishers). Eltern was actually the first magazine to ever publish a work of mine. This was back in the late seventies when I was only ten years of age.

Eltern launched a contest at the time to sketch our holiday plans. The contest won me one out of three cash prizes from 2,144 entries. The 100 DM award for my entry that showed me riding the bike with my dad bought my school class an excursion day to Lake Chiemsee near Munich.

Decades later, I created my second illustration for Eltern, this time around as a professional illustrator. I illustrated a piece about a little girl’s pasta diet (see below). (It does look a little different than my first piece, doesn’t it?)
