For a historic building in Regensburg I created 12 large scale illustrations to be displayed in the big rounded windows while it is being renovated. The topic of the illustrations was Regensburg. In order to get an idea of the city I spend two days in the city with daughter and our bikes. We cycled around, took a boat tour, had a swim in the river regen, found the nicest restaurants and we took an abundance of pictures in order to portrait the people of Regensburg and its buildings. The project just won an Art Director's Club award in Hamburg, Germany.

My client wanted to send a greeting out of the christmassy crowd and decided for easter. As I very much love fold up posters, we came up with a landscape illustration go Munich and hiding Jan somewhere within, based on the where is Waldo concept. We hid him in his favourite outfit for times. A call to action within a decorative mailing.
I do doodle a lot and favourably quick. For my bags and printed products I am always collecting ideas by sketching anything around me and what I find online. My boards are full of lists covering all kind of topics, animals, nature, beach, artists, portraits, etc. Sometimes I just get started with the coffee in front of me or fruits standing around. I archive them digitally on my Ipad and analogue in sketchbooks. If I don’t forget them, they’ll become a pattern and end up on… a bag, a wallpaper or packaging concept.

In 2015 I created an alter Ego called Stellar van Bot. Or rather it is my sketching practice with which I explore different techniques or media I didn’t use before. All my digital sketches started with Stellar. She popped up unexpectedly in one of my sketchbooks. My husband and a very closed friend of mine liked her instantly and since then she went through many different stages and became the main character of my journaling entries.
I adore notebooks since ever and have an extensive collection of them. Many are full of not so good stuff. Many of the recents years are full of things and ideas I often do like. I love the secrecy and size. How the pages change once they are covered with sketches. I often sketch while on the road and I remember a moment even better by looking at my sketch than looking at a photograph of the same experience.
I used to have a long commute, about an hour each way to my kid's kindergarten and daycare. But it was a beautiful scenic ride by bike through the English garden in Munich. Through the years I collected imagery of trees , the river, small lakes and dog walkers, joggers, people on the phone, lovers and used them for watercolour explorations. Some good, some not so good. Some just a blurb of color on paper. I think these kind of practices are key to creative progress and that's why I want to show the good and the bad.
