Hamburger SV

New illustrations for Germany's best football magazine 11FREUNDE. These people are the board of Hamburger SV, a most unlikely group of individuals who manage their club in unorthodox fashion. The client asked me to make the characters look like the actual people, but not too much to avoid possible trouble.

 

Except this last guy had to be recognizable, Jürgen Klopp. In the story he did not get the job because of his unshaved chin.

 

Stammtisch projects

Every fridayafternoon we have an illustrator meeting at a café where we do some sketching, catch up on eachothers illustrative adventures, have coffee and lately we have given ourselves a random illustration assignment for next week. We write on small pieces of paper a main character, a sidekick, an object, a location and a time. Toss 'em in a het and grab one out for ach category. The random combination forms next weeks assignment. These are the results so far:
