Entitled, Corporate Madhouse (Unternehmen Wahnsinn by Theresia Volk), my jacket cover for a new book by Kösel Verlag (Random House) shows a shark gone crazy.

I provided both the cover art and the jacket design for the book that discusses the frenzy in today’s enterprises where psychopaths are making the rules, and where calls for restructuring the company, motivational rhetoric and endless meetings abound. >more

Here’s a cover image I did on the topic of doing business with the Americas.  I used outlines of the maps of the United States and Latin America, and placed a number of icons on top.

• Oregon: one of the world’s most fertile agricultural spots
• New York: high buildings
• Florida: famous for its citrus fruit
• Georgia: number one peanut-producing state
• Texas: oil
• California: computers
• Nevada: gambling
• Kansas etc: agriculture
• Mexico: lobsters/tourism
• Costa Rica: second-largest exporter of bananas
• Brazil: world’s second largest aircraft producer and strong in agriculture
• Venezuela: strong in diamonds
• Bolivia: second largest natural gas reserves in South America (LNG ship on the coast)
• Chile: world’s fifth largest exporter of wine
• Colombia: main exports include coffee
• Peru: main exports include gold

I have created new illustrations for a bestselling book by Gabal publishers on the so-called “Concentrated Systems Strategy.”

Now in its 13th edition, the book has been completely revised and expanded. The authors, noted experts on management strategies, unravel the basics of a successful business strategy for corporations and managers.

I got to design this mixed-media image on the topic of job recruitment. In trying to keep the overall mood somewhat insecure, the interviewers are kept in the background, with no particular features showing.

This artwork was created to illustrate the current calls for the end of the recession. Is it really all over yet – or are we only in a temporary state of recovery?
