Animals in the City
For the special exhibition ‚The City. Between Skyline and Latrines‘ of the State Museum of Archaeology Chemnitz I got the chance to draw an ode to the animals in Chemnitz. The illustration was presented in large format as part of the exhibition. Some characters, like the bugs and even an ox became part of a quiz for children who visited the exibition.

We decided to show the cultural aspects of animals and humans, too. In urban surroundings we find animals in stone carvings on buildings, just as heraldic figures and in fashion. And of course pets play a huge role in our daily life, like dogs and cats and even snakes.

For the setting I built simple shapes and drew the single elements on my ipad. I love this work process and that it leads to a big fundus of single illustrations of snails, rats and dragonflies.
