Novum‘s current issue – a bilingual graphic and design mag (German/English) – is dedicated to the topic of freelancing. For them I gave a four-pages-interview in which we discussed selfemployment, which risks and opportunities it holds and – of course – we talked about illustration.
Thanks to Bettina and Oliver.

My interview with star illustrator David Foldvari has now been published in English.
Lately a great book about illustration has hit the market which gives you the chance to read one of the interviews I have conducted for my book “Selbsthändig” in English. As a preview of “Selbsthändig” it features some of my illustrations and a big part of the interview I did with Dave.
Editor Raban Ruddigkeit calls Freistil Black “the biennial of European commercial illustration in book form” and is also showing his daring by using only black and white works for this year‘s issue of Freistil.

In ihrer aktuellen Ausgabe schreibt die PAGE über Selbsthändig und meine Interviews mit verschiedenen Illustratoren.
“Die Erkenntnisse aus diesen Gesprächen teilt er netterweise mit allen, die ebenfalls Illustratoren werden wollen, in einem äußerst unterhaltsamen Buch, in dem er die Interviewsituationen durch eigene Skizzen lebendig werden lässt.”
Gleichzeitig erschien diese Woche ein netter Artikel über das Buch in der Esslinger Zeitung, der hier nachzulesen ist.
