This is my entry for Jazza’s Challenge of the month. The topic is "Dramatic Death" and I couldn’t imagine anything that’s more dramatic than this … if you happen to be a fly. ^^

Okay, it's not MY children's book. It's the first children's book an author asked me to make illustrations for.

Here are the first illustrations:

That’s me this morning at work. True story!

Hello everyone!

I'm new to Newgrounds and curious how it all works. Hope to get lots of inspiration from you guys and feedback for my own art. 

I'm a writer and editor from Germany. As a kid I dreamt of being a comic artist, but when I got older I stopped chasing that dream. Now I only draw and paint in my free time and everynow and then I publish a cartoon on YouTube (in German, sorry). ;)

Recently I got two requests for professional art work (though I have never considered myself being a professional artist!): a monthly web comic and illustrations for a children’s book. That was a huge boost for my confidence – but I have the feeling that I need to learn a lot and practice, practice, practice before I can actually handle it.

That’s why I want to take my art to the next level – and why I signed up here at Newgrounds. :)
