Another year has passed so quickly. It is time to put the brakes and close the studio door for a few days. I look forward to spending time at home with family and friends, to tea, cookies and candlelight. From my sofa, I will watch the birds stuff themselves, just like I will with chocolade. It was another good year with many wonderful moments, pleasant cooperation and many great projects, for which I would like to thank you. A children's booklet for Netto Marken-Discount together with the WWF and Jung von Matt, an illustration for Thees Uhlmann and my contribution for the children's comic magazine Polle, but also the numerous illustrations for the WWF, a revision of the mascot of the Museum Kunst der Westküste on Föhr together with Jörg Stauvermann and a nice poster series for the scouts of the VCP. As always, I have put together a small PDF for a larger overview, with a selection of projects from the past year. Please click here if you would like to take a look.
After laying the basis for my next book this year with a script and storyboard, after all the research that has gone before, I'm looking forward to finally starting the actual work, drawing a new graphic novel, starting next year. In October you could get a glimpse of how it will look like, at the annual Inktober Event, which is making the rounds on social media. But besides working on the book, there will definitely be time reserved for commissioned work, so feel free to contact me if you need my help.
But now I wish you and your loved ones from Utrecht a relaxed Christmas time, happy holidays and a good start into 2020.
See you soon and best regards,
Tobias Dahmen
