Quote of the day

To all the ravers in the internet

drx@a-blast.org — Sun, 13 May 2008 10:00:00 +0000

I set up a blog where i am discussing issues of digital design, actually mainly for my students and in German language: To all the ravers in the internet.

The update frequency is rather low and i like to publish posts i worked on for some time, so i think it is interesting for other people as well. If you know enough German.

The two jolly ravers

drx@a-blast.org — Sun, 18 Apr 2008 23:00:00 +0000

My startling comic Die zwei lustigen Raver with the two jolly ravers Acid & E has been published in the awesome book Shake Your Tree #3.

I was drawing this story with Microsoft Paintbrush.

For all the people that do not understand German: The two ravers want to go to Ibiza, but take the wrong flight and end up in the desert. They are frustrated and fly back home, only to find out that the biggest rave ever was happening in the desert a short time after they left.

Printed it looks like this:

Examine the original drawings in full size!

There is also some Hupel Pupel in the book!
