COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Rough preliminary sketches

Rough preliminary sketches for the poster design of the exhibition "Enten, die sich in Raketen retten" (Ducks, who save themselves in rocket ships), Comic Museum Erlangen, June 3rd - July 31st 2026. Still completely without titles etc. The silhouette of the rocket ship is – very loose – based on Donald Duck's houseboat from "The Little Wise Hen" from 1934. And there's a little bit of Gaston's Fiat 509 (André Franquin) in it too.

Please note: The photos of Donald Duck's house boat and Gaston Lagaffe's car are copyrighted © by their respective owners. All rights reserved. The photos are used here for reference only.
