M y whimsical-style illustrations take a lighthearted, humorous stance in visualizing a topic in a sketchy fashion. A variety of books have come out requesting this approach. Despite its seemingly naïve first-glance appearance, in the world of editorial illustration, whimsy isn’t about children, but is geared at grown-ups who appreciate clever concepts that are also fun to look at. My client list for work in whimsical style is vast, and includes Random House, Tesa, City of Munich, Süddeutsche Zeitung, The Christian Science Monitor, Rowohlt, Ritzenhoff, Deutsche Bank, The Writer, DIE ZEIT, DER SPIEGEL, Campus, Axel Springer, Gruner+Jahr, Piper, dtv, and Haymarket. My whimsical art has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, and Creative Quarterly.
