Art Basel Miami Beach

Oh, I had completely forgotten. Art Basel Miami Beach starts next week. That's why I had to quickly duct-tape one of the more famous ducks somewhere.

Disney Topolino № 3597
Special Edition, Lucca Comics 2024

I just realized that I am the very first international artist to design/draw a Disney Topolino magazine cover. I thought I was the first Austrian, but to be the first worldwide is surprising.

What makes it special for me personally is that there is no shortage of world-class Disney artists in Italy - they don't really need anyone to "help" them. Seriously, Italian artists in particular have always given the Disney comic books universe a unique dynamism and elegance in line, design and stories.
