The past year felt like an incredibly long day, ...
... on a wall like a fly, with a strange perspective on life. To that effect, Happy New Year, everyone! Things will get better!

Dragon photobombing a duck-star's photo op
Actually, I wanted to introduce you to one of the duck stars of my upcoming show but unfortunately a dragon was photobombing the scene, chewing on the duck.

About Ducks, Knights And Finely Crafted Rocketships,
And Sundry Other Delicacies
Alright, here's the thing I was teasing, last week.
After having recklessly shanghaied some of the most beautiful Romanticism paintings (especially the ones by Carl Spitzweg, Caspar David Friedrich and Albert Bierstadt) in the past years, the ducks are now going for the big party. In spring 2021 they'll highjack and mask a whole historic site, for real. No mockups, no photomontage. Real real.
A giant larger-than-billboard-size imagery exhibit high above the rooftops of the City of Graz, Austria, at the iconic Kasematten Theatre, located on Castle-Hill, Schloßberg. Right in the middle of the city's historic centre.
Sincere thanks to the show's executive producers Bernhard Rinner and Michael Tassis and the exhibit's production head Daniel Polzer for the striking support and hard work. More details about the show and its contents will follow in February.
On this historic cityscape here, portraying Graz ca. 1830, the yellow flag roughly marks today's actual location of the show's venue. Additionally, please find attached two photos, one of Castle-Hill (photo by Gerhard Eder) and the other one shows the Kasematten's east entrance.

The Loud Duck
Well, look who it ain't! David Galvis did a lovely digital sculpt of my 'Loud Duck', recently.
Watch the clip on YouTube in high resolution HERE ▶

Apropos MAD Magazine:
If Kids Designed Their Own Christmas Toys
From the They Drew What They Wanted Department: January 1963 issue of MAD Magazine. Way long before all these "I drew this based on kid drawings" projects. Story and models by Al Jaffee, photos by Lester Krauss.
#MADmagazine #ChristmasToys #toydesign #AlJaffee #LesterKraus
"We at MAD feel that the designs of today's Christmas toys reflect our warped aduld sense of values. We at MAD also feel that the success of today's Christmas toys exposes our basic insecurity as parents trying to buy the love of our children with material things. But mainly, we at MAD feel too cheap to spend that money on our kids! So here is our idea: Instead of nuclear physicists designing complicated costly toys, why not let kids design them? Children's drawings show simple, beautiful, joyous viewpoints that no grown-up can hope to capture. Here, then, is what we would be seeing..."
MAD Magazine's Spoof Advertisements
"When William M. Gaines was the publisher and owner of MAD Magazine, he refused to accept any form of advertising. This allowed him to spoof anyone and anything he desired."
Say, it's Madness Wednesday. As a life-long MAD Magazine enthusiast I've to share some of these glorious pieces from an amazing collection of satirical advertisements from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Full Process: The Maurizio Cattelan Duck AKA Duck Basel
This sheet here provides the process of the anthropomorphic animated cartoon style parody portrait of Italian contemporary artist Maurizio Cattelan in full. Step 1 and 2 were digital test sketches, step 3 is a traditionally done preliminary drawing on paper (Col-Erase 20044 Blue) and for step 4 and 5 I went digital again.

Donald Duck's binge watching adaptation
Over the past few months, he grew some solid new tail feathers for a better seating comfort. He even can fall asleep without falling over.
