am strand

there is a small beach by the rhine, with fine, yellow sand, nestled between trees. A strong current makes the swimming slightly dangerous. And if there´s no speedboat roaming about and no noisy teenagers listening to house music, then it´s really quite pleasant.

nerds

Some more illustration for the june issue of stuz, one is even on the cover!  two portraits, each depicting a different take on the (overused) term nerd. hipster nerd vs. real nerd, surrounded by favourite nerdy items.
