Hello dear friends!

I hope life has been as kind to you as it was to me for those months that I have been "in hiding". It was kind of fascinating that by giving up drawing comics I improved my life quality by a great amount. It does not mean that I gave up on drawing completely. Actually I have been doing all kinds of commissions for the last few years. :3 By no means do I regret having worked for publishers. I am really really really grateful to Tokyopop Germany and Carlsen Manga who gave me the chance to publish my stuff. It changed my life a lot and gave me a new perspective. Before I started drawing I was kind of an underdog, growing up in the deepest province of Bavaria with no more exciting future perspectives than maybe working as shop assistant at the local supermarket one day. My parents were not exactly dirt-poor but they hardly would have been able to let me go to university. (Even though German university is really really really cheap compared to other countries, the moving and living expenses have also to be payed by someone. And that someone is me.) Or let me travel. Or just buy stuff I wanted. Working for publishers gave me the opportunity to change that. I traveled all over Germany, got to France a few times, met lots of great and fascinating people, bought myself all I wanted and saved up enough to move to Dusseldorf and go to university. Even though my current job (which I love) is not as creative as being a comic artist it brings food on the table and gives me the opportunity to create art just for my own pleasure.

Looking back I also have to thank to my readers and to people who supported me. Without you I would not have made it so far. I just think that when the situation calls for a change you should go ahead and make the necessary changes. I would have been amazing to continue my comics but the situation was just not right. I have at least 2 projects with finished concepts which were ready to go.... But maybe.... One day... as a webcomic... who knows? Right now I am enjoying my time off.
