I recently dusted off some concept work and this little piece goes up as this month’s entry panel on my site. If you care to browse through the great works of concept artists like Ralph McQuarrie, Syd Meade and the like, you’ll come to appreciate the depth of their hand made drawings. You really can’t achieve this by shirking and cutting corners. So, I guess pencils will rule the world a bit longer yet.
Sculptures, drawings and other artwork can be visited at the Nautilus Studio, a nice little gallery with emphasis on the fantastic and surreal arts. The show will be on display until end of october 2022. A finissage will be announced shortly.
Prototype sketchbook leafthrough from Jens Maria Weber on Vimeo.
Status: Work in fast progress, 170 x 240 mm, 240 pages approx.
These pics show a prototype dummy of some 180 pages intended to check out type, layout and general feel.
Content is centered around visual exploration of storytelling: Scenery and invention for film, book and non-client work. Just the things that lead up to the shiny, finished panels in the presentation. Since this is an „artist’s“ book, there will be some carefully worded insights in the art and the biz.
„Hexenmacht“, der zweite Band aus der Reihe „Die Krone der Sterne“ von Kai Meyer ist im März zur Leipziger Buchmesse 2018 erschienen.
Wie immer ging dem Band ein Sommer voller Zeichnereien und akribischer Digitalarbeit voran. Viel Arbeit, aber am Ende ist man immer glücklich, ein schönes, geglücktes Buch in der Hand zu haben. Danke auch an die vielen geduldigen Leser und Leserinnen, die auf der Messe für die Signaturen angestanden haben. Ohne Publikum existiert die Welt nicht.

I have started to collect impressions from my nightly ramblings. Most are sketches only, with the occasional dip into further possibilities. There are strange things about on the fringes of the town and I am not so sure if night is only a period of darkness caused by planetary rotation. Night is territory, a land of its own.
Some more concept art for Kai Meyer’s Krone der Sterne. The pencil roughs are a quick way to determine looks and communicate before taking things further.
