Duck dressed as Coco Chanel Print

My passion for writing, drawing and painting began in early childhood and continued all through my life. While working as a construction engineer I published more than 1500 cartoons in newspapers and magazines. In the 1990s I gave up my career as an engineer and started professional writing (primarily books and radio broadcasts, e.g. for the "Bayerischer Rundfunk", the Bavarian Broadcast ) and 15 years later professional painting - the latter by specializing in Old masters' style. The central themes in my artistic work are portraits and "animal metamorphoses”.
