Some illustrations among those published in various issues of the beautiful Swiss Magazine "Lebenslust Emmental Magazin"

The illustration published in the new issue of the Magazine "Lebenslust Emmental" number 65, autumn 2024.

The illustration is for Sandra Rutschi's beautiful new short story "Die Baeume wachsen nicht in den Himmel" ("The trees don't grow into the sky").

The Magazine is always beautiful with wonderful photos: it is impossible not to want to immerse yourself in the wonderful landscapes, villages and woods of the Bernese Emmental!

An original watercolour illustration alongside the three greeting cards

Here are the new floral-themed  illustrations for the publisher Sonah Verlag. Many thanks as always to Ms. Anika Meyer for her valuable advice and Art Direction!

The illustrations are published on wonderful greeting cards and  represent local floral essences, accompanied by refined captions with their names in the dialect of the Saarland region, and a series of information - on the back of the cards - on each botanical species.

You can see and find them here, on the Sonah website Sonah Verlag and Magazine and Blumengrüße auf Saarländisch – Gruß-/Glückwunschkarte

If I can afford some advice and opinion to friends who live in Germany, I'd say run and buy the Magazine "Sonah Magazin", it's wonderful, don't miss it! ;-)
