For the German travel magazine Geo Saison I illustrated the dossier with the topic „How to travel ethically correct?“: a first page and five full doublespreads.
How should we behave as independent travellers in foreign countries? Should we take the offered but forbidden corals as a gift? Should we give our money to the begging streetkids – or is a biro enough – or is it best to give nothing at all? Geo Saison tries to answer those questions and many more.
You can order the November issue (No. 11) of Geo Saison here.
Unfortunately it’s not bilingual – only German.

I illustrated a new book which was just released last week. The Bregenzerwald is a small rural area in Austria near the Lake of Constance and very close to the Alps. The spoken language is German but with a really special accent called „Bregenzerwälderisch“ – nearly impossible to understand for normal German speaking people.
Super BFG, the design company of this German – Bregenzerwälderisch dicitionary invited me to travel through their lovely mountain area, together with my sketchbook, pencils and Christian Feurstein as my personal translator. It was a great research: tasty food, breathteaking landsacapes, lovely people.
I met cheesemakers, farmers and their cows, a taxidermist and wooden shoe makers. I learned what „Buscholn“ means, where the hunters meet, and how they make their traditional costumes.
The book is a bilingual dictionary and has lots of illustrated chapters explaining the life and tradions of the inhabitants of the Bregenzerwald.
The book was released on the 7th of december.
276 pages, hardcover, duplex print
Available at Behmann Papier.

Although this is bilingual, English doesn’t help here.
