Happy Holidays everyone! I gave myself this drawing as a present this year. If you want one too, there is a very, very limited edition of just 34 multiple originals: Each sheet is hand signed, numbered and considerably adapted by hand, in the way that the banana glued to the car’s chassis is hand-painted on each sheet. Each sheet is unique and part of this consistent edition, limited to a number of only 34 pieces. Printed on Edition Duerer® high quality textured drawing paper. Exactly the very paper I use for drawing.

About the work:
Just before the end of the year, I returned to one of my favorite works. The "FAT 313". A "fusion satire" or parody and at the same time homage to Donald Duck himself, his no less famous "313", the artists Maurizio Cattelan, Erwin Wurm, Manfred Deix and last but not least, duck father Carl Barks. In my original work (from 2020/2021), I had taped Donald Duck Cattelan's famous banana to the cap and the FAT 313, based on Erwin Wurm's fat car, simply stood fat and silent on its wheels.
Now, in this reboot of the parody, things have literally started moving, I wanted to see the FAT 313 drive. Among other things, the radiator grille now resembles a turbine engine and the banana sticks to the outside wall of the chassis to increase the value of the vehicle. Hence the new title “The Six Million Dollar Car”.

By the way, this here is one of the rough preliminary layouts. Originally I wanted to emphasize the steampunk factor more – which is clearly visible, I think – but then decided against it so as not to completely change the car's iconic silhouette:

The captain is on the bridge

I never finished drawing this rough layout draft. I still enjoy looking at it.

A question of practice and joy

If you want to be able to draw cartoon ducks reasonably well on a professional scale, you might do well to draw a lot of ducks just for fun every now and then. For me it is always a new lesson. A lesson that is enjoyable, but it remains a lesson.
