g u d e g ry 3d illustration 2014
Coming from a two-dimensional illustration background, I have developed a strong interest in working with the body as a means of expression during my master studies. I have always been interested in fantastic worlds, but often found there was a lack of reference to the present day. This applies also to the topic of ancient mythology, often visualized through archaic or clichéd illustrations. Accordingly, within my graduation project I investigated the medium of Body Based Character Design by exemplifying it through reinterpretations of the Norse Gods of the weekdays. The result is the photo series GUDEGRY (Dawn of the Gods), showing seven characters within their own realm, developed through working 3-dimensionally and incorporating the human body—masks, costumes and settings— documented and staged through photography.

The picture series Manmade Mutants is an examination of how illustration works outside books, in a third dimension. The six characters are hybrids built by exaggerating the known characteristics of the 20th century freaks, and staging them in a modern environment. By presenting these naturally grown deformations in a glamorous light—like tumors, polyps or hornifications—we balanced between fascination and disgust, compassion and mischief, repulsion and attraction, glamour and tackiness. Project developed in collaboration with Kathrin Heimel.

Oh du lieber Augustin [Oh my dear friend Augustin] is a comic for the Swiss comic competition F UMET TO which dealt with the topic virus. Therefore I illustrated the old Austrian folk song Oh du lieber Augustin. It was published in Illusion Tart 1 VIREN.

The story takes place in the “Narrenturm� ( The madhouse Tower) of Vienna, today the museum of the Pathological Anatomical Institute, in former days a psychiatric hospital. By playing his song, Augustin revives the preparations and conducts them out of the tower to spread the plague out across Vienna.

u rba n a m a zo n fashion collection 2012
In the project Urban Amazon I investigated how patterns influence the silhouette of a garment as well as how the impression of a pattern changes through the form and in the end why and how some patterns work on the human body. The project was a lot about experimenting and researching and resulted in a women´s collection dealing with contrasts in all it´s forms – nature against urbanity, dullness against intensity, rigidity against fluency – creating the Urban Amazon.

The others and I – explores the contrast between the way individuals choose to present themselves on social networking websites, in comparison to how others might perceive them. Inspired by an anonymous facebook profile which featured only posts, comments and friends list, and no photographs, I developed a mask illustrating my own interpretation of this anonymous individual.

Es war einmal…zweimal…dreimal… [Once…twice…thrice…upon a time] is a book of fairytales, which I designed and illustrated for my bachelor thesis at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design, containing three different versions of the Sleeping Beauty. Many of the fairytales told by the Brothers Grimm were adapted from older versions. Through this project I visualized how the motives changed through the course of time—what was left out, what was added and why. The three different stories are presented next to each other within the layout, giving the reader the possibility to read each story separately, compare them to each other, or read them as a whole.

The four different illustrations are dealing with the prophecy, the sleep, the awakening, and the punishment. The illustration technique is a mixture of crayon coloured drawings and photoshop collage.The pages are divided and cut into three parts in order to create a new fairy tale by combining the whole story to a plot which the viewer chooses by his own hands.
