hinzkunst blankets are the perfect companion: at home on the couch, as a bedspread, as a tapestry …
Cry Me A River
Everyone responds to the separation of his beloved in his own way. Some with fiery-vengeful anger and others drag themselves through a balmy everyday life, damp with gray-tinged tears.
In CRY ME A RIVER, a young couple moves to an unknown village for a while to look after the two dogs of an aunt. While they have to admit in their togetherness that their relationship is no longer working, one of the two dogs dies. They choose to part, though they continue to live under the same roof to look after the suffering dog left alone. The tears flow incessantly, they fill one and a half liters of plastic bottles, they create waterfalls and rivers.
She writes, dreams of success and above all she dreams of a perfect great love full of passion and eternal dedication. But even in her dream world, the supposedly ideal lover is kidnapped by reality. He hits the shelves of a supermarket, undecided in choosing the right cereal, the villager Paol. A night of alcohol and excess and the strange appearance of a giant shrimp that comes down from heaven like an archangel will help him see things from a different perspective.
Nika, Lotte, Mangold!
Nika loves metal, video games and action. Lotte is super sporty, super exact and super smart. Mangold likes to carry stuff around, has the best taste in clothes and makes the best ass bombs. The three live in the dachshund valley, where Karl runs out with nasty Berta, Becker’s fat cat feels misunderstood, a new tree house is built and wild snowball fights take place in winter.
Sometimes silly, sometimes thoughtful and always with a lot of humor, all kinds of ideas and zest for action meet the three friends NIKA, LOTTE and MANGOLD the big and small adventures in their lives. And Thomas Wellmann proves once again that he is not only a fantastic draftsman, but also a great storyteller.
Von Spatz
In the hills of Santa Monica lies the “Von Sparrow Rehab Center.” A mental hospital for artists and employees of the show business for the reassurance of nerves a bevy of psychiatrists, nurses and carers are available. Patients are required to dedicate themselves fully to their recovery and artistic work at this location. For this purpose, the hospital management provides atelier houses, an art supply, an art gallery and much more.
The clinic director Margarete von Spatz cares lovingly for her patients, including Walt Disney, who tries more or less in vain during his stay on various artworks. During the numerous afternoon activities such as Painting therapy, penguin service and kneading muses Walt about his life as an artist. How could the father of a mouse lose his mind?
Old Songs New Songs
Have you ever broken more than three plates in one day? Did her child belch in the service? The characters in OLD SONGS NEW SONGS are entangled in a web of prohibitions and blame, in which the photographing of hares in the months January to April is just as punishable as the appearance in public with a woman’s beard or unshaven legs.
In her detailed leporello, Rita Fürstenau brings together historical legal texts that, from today’s perspective, sometimes seem amusing, bizarre or simply gruesome. Although these laws are no longer effective, it becomes clear that the moral concepts and motivations that once validated their validity are still alive today.
Crawl Space
The students Daisy and Jeanne-Claude have a secret that allows them to escape their suburban life: in the dark corners of the cellar of Daisy’s house, behind the washing machine and a veil that separates the realities lies a hidden world. The rainbow-colored ecosystem is home to uncommon sensations and bizarre lifeformers, including both playful teapot creatures and less friendly creatures.
As the friends explore this strange reality, they discover that they too are shaped by their influence. But her friendship will soon be tested as Jeanne-Claude takes more and more of her school friends into the wondrous world and Daisy begins to wonder how real her new-found popularity at the school really is.
Lichtpause
LICHTPAUSE tells a day in Algiers, from early morning to night, and takes us on a long walk through the city. The voice of the narrator mingles with the voices of her friends, who comment, interpret, ask, answer. It is about the air, the traffic, the sea, the presence of violence, the money, the oil, the layers of pasts that are deposited in architecture. In the eyes of the Europeans on Algiers and the possibility of friendship, despite the echo of history and the current situation.
The book was created during two stays of the artist in Algiers, between September 2016 and April 2017. The work on text and drawings was above all a reason to listen, to observe, to find a look that is searching and does not necessarily mean to understand. A perspective that constantly questions itself, dedicates itself to fleetingness and attempts to grasp conditions that pass by and yet remain as holey memories. The result is an impressive travelogue in fragments, in poetic snapshots from constantly reassembling perspectives.
In Winter
It is winter and in a nameless forest high in the north, the paths of a cat and a hawk cross. The brief encounter will be disastrous for both. For death too, brushing softly through the cold night, joins them.
IN WINTER is reminiscent of a classic animal fable, but instead of a moral mediation occurs an atmospheric condensation that does not want to explain or teach, but aims to look at the inner life of the characters and their relationships with each other.
Zwischen den Zweigen zwitschert ein Waldhorn
With self-forged verses and colorful illustrations Julia Kluge embarks on a hunt for centuries-old hunting customs. Through the close connection of hunting with the development of culture and art since the Palaeolithic rock paintings each epoch finds its very own portrayal of hunting, between necessary food, mystical ritual and brutal pastime.
From the Middle Ages to the 18th century hunting in Central Europe was reserved for the nobility. This power centering culminated in elaborate hunt or par force hunts, which were a popular social event at the princely courts. Anyone who wanted to be valid had to prove his sovereignty as a good hunter. Splendidly decorated hunting books, describing the tips, tricks and technique of hunting in a bizarre and beautiful manner, bear witness to the hunt-dingy epochs. Many a prince wrote his own hunting book in which he praised his abilities over the green clover.
Based on these historical hunting books, Julia Kluge drew her own “weidmännische Ratgeber.” Her illustrations open up the view of a cultural asset hidden in the undergrowth. Not only does the content fit together like a collage, but the ink drawings printed in three special colors also complement and overlap. Fine structures are reminiscent of light that falls through dense treetops on the forest floor. Crisp verses pick up the once secret language of the pastoralists. The advice can be enjoyed with a wink and reflect the ambivalent relationship between the proud self-image of the hunters and the hunted animals again.
Röhner
P. leads a hermit life in an appropriate symbiosis with his busy neighbor. From the preparation of the coffee to the care of the house plants everything runs in time. With the unexpected arrival of Röhner —an old acquaintance —this rhythm changes.
While Röhner becomes a psychotic imposition, P. mentions various scenarios in the mind how he could get rid of the unloved guest. Only when Röhner begins to build an intimate relationship with the neighbor, frees P. from his thoughts and grasp action.
SPRING #15
Arbeit
We work to earn money. We work to realize ourselves to be successful and tell our parents about professions that they do not understand, that are modern and abstract. Nothing seems to change faster than our work and with it the working conditions. And yet, in many professions, women still earn less than men. At the same time, the discussions about the unconditional basic income are getting bigger and we ask ourselves: would I go about my job if I had financial security?
In the current issue of the illustration magazine SPRING, 13 draughtsmen in comics, illustrations and texts give very personal insights into the relationship between the world of work and identity. They tell about the balancing act between family and professional life, report on an animal factory and explore the history of work. At times, they make this really very real topic magical, then again it’s about exploitation, burnout and the rights of female workers. And we realize that in a society that trims itself to maximum work, another thing is just as important – to have a rest in between.
SPRING was founded in 2004 in Hamburg. Since then, every summer a new volume of the anthology is published, which combines the different works from the fields of comics, illustration and free drawing into one topic each. Since the beginning, the group consists exclusively of women and has become a solid and important network for female draughtsmen in Germany.
SPRING #13
The elephant in the room
India is a land of contrasts—and the rapid pace of globalization’s economic transformation is also affecting women’s position within Indian society. Social relationships change, the love marriage prevails, women make a career in business, politics or culture, the women’s movement is strong. Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere in India, especially in the village communities, millions of women are still suffering from repression and violence, as we know from the media reports.
Eight German SPRING draftsmen met eight of their Indian colleagues at a writer’s residence near Bangalore and worked with them to compile the current issue of the magazine. In the comics and drawings they talk about life as a woman in different cultures, role models, open questions, sexuality, pride, violence and conflicts. The stories are entertaining and dramatic, personal and universal. Many of them revolve around an often ignored state that hardly anyone dares to address—“The elephant in the room,” as it is called in English.
nomad #6 — where to go?
The sixth issue of nomad focuses on the topic of coexistence. When different beings, concepts or entities live side by side, many an existence may be enabled to survive—or even thrive—by this closeness. When this sensitive network of intertwining lives is applied to a global society engaged in a constant process of reinvention, the question arises of how to develop the coexistence of technology and humanity in the future.
Japanese designer Oki Sato concentrates on special moments in everyday life by converting them into readily comprehensible simplicity. Internationally acclaimed design critic Alice Rawsthorn introduces today—design world to a far-sighted perspective for its future—dating from 1945.
New York author Douglas Rushkoff warns of surveillance capitalism and calls for greater humanism in our dealings with social media. Designer Pierre Charpin creates minimalism imbued with poetry and establishes new interrelations between objects.
Slanted Magazine #21: Cuba – The New Generation
Revolution or evolution? Fall or rise? Whorehouse or paradise? Cola or guarapo? Marlboro or Cohiba? Beans or lobster? Freedom or Guantanamo? Track suit or tie? Internet or carrier pigeon? Salsa or rap? Old-timer or Turbo? Museum or future-lab? Work or none? Hope or exile? Or a mix of all of these queries? It’s different than we think – much more complicated, deep and full of surprises. Reason enough to dedicate the 21st issue of Slanted Magazine to a young generation of Cuban designers and artists.
Slanted Magazine #21: CUBA – The New Generation illuminates contemporary design, photography, illustration and typography from Cuba with a special focus on Cuban poster art – most projects and artworks have never been shown outside Cuba

The toucan couple is one of two bird motifs that I have drawn and printed with Colorama as a 5-color riso print. Then I printed each print by hand with a color in linocut.

Lesetypografie
Typography is not art. Typography is not science. Typography is craft. And typography is there for the reader, not for the designer. These are the premises on which this standard work of book design is based. A solid foundation for your own creative path.
And this foundation is in demand as never before, because despite all print-is-dead doom calls, the printed book seems to have risen from the dead.
Based on centuries of tradition, today’s book designers are building new bibliophile declarations of love for reading and the reader. The digital competition has sparked a renaissance of the beautiful book.
Anyone who wants to reinterpret classical craftsmanship in pointed detail must deal with it. He has to know the rules before breaking them. Hans Peter Willberg and Friedrich Forssman have created a basic work of typographic craft with the reading typography, which quickly became the standard work of book design and was »obstetrician« of many excellent books. The future of the book … is beautiful!
The art of creating beautiful books builds on a centuries-old tradition. It focuses on the one for whom the book is being made: the reader.
To design and equipment
For four editions, reading typography has become a standard reference work for lecturers, students and practitioners. In grateful remembrance of the great teacher Hans Peter Willberg, a few years ago we opted for a reasonably priced softcover edition in order to make the craft knowledge that Willberg and Forssman collected available to a broader public.
TypoMemo Spielbox
The TypoMemo is a declaration of love for the letters, a mini-setting box in panorama format and the most charming way to sensitize graphic designers for font details. It is a design object for people with good memory and the chance to strengthen the love of letters among elementary school children.
Four expressive alphabets and 24 special characters
128 fine letter plates, silver embossed on deep black, triple laminated Fedrigoni cardboard are waiting for their use and you decide: TypoMemo or Typoesie?
There are no limits to your creativity with four expressive alphabets and 24 special characters.School your typographic eye. Play TypoMemo in different levels from reading learner to typo nerd. Draw children, friends and colleagues under the spell of the letters. Become a typoete and put messages with 16 characters in the noble mini-case-box to the point. Or blow up the CNC-milled cabinet frame and text on agency and dining tables – out of the box. The game ideas for letter lovers are almost unlimited.
The sound makes the music: So that the fine tablets with clear sound can tumble on your table, we have triple-black, solid-colored Fedrigoni cardboard laminated in triplicate. In order to avoid disputes about p or d, q or b, i or l, n or u in the game, fine strokes mark the baseline in possible doubts.
In your TypoMemo Panoramabox you will find 8 punching boards with 16 easy to push out tablets. This way, when you first contact the TypoMemo you already have an overview of characters and special characters. Under the first panel you will discover the game instructions, but your creativity in finding new game ideas is nothing in the way.
A CNC-milled section made of HDF picks up the letters and allows you to deliver messages with 2 x 8 letters: in daily interaction, as a gift or as a panoramic set box for yourself. The 24 special characters prove to be special useful.
The four fonts we have used (QUESTA, SOLEIL, gitan and utopia) have been chosen for aesthetics and distinctness, of two alphabets we use uppercase, of the other two only the Commons. The box itself is deliberately not foil-laminated, it would be a pity for the dull black …
Der Tagesspiegel Calender 2019 — 12 Graphic Comments by Raban Ruddigkeit

Now the first calendar has been edited containing 12 of the best and most timeless graphics. The “graphic comments” have won the Lead Award in Gold in the Illustration for Daily category.
Bi-Scriptual—Typography and Graphic Design with Multiple Script Systems
Script is language. Language is communication, and communication is the key to successful intercultural exchange. As a result of globalization and increased interaction across countries and cultures, multilingualism is becoming increasingly important all around the world.
Script, as the most important conveyor of information, is at the center of this development. Designers are more and more faced with the challenging task to create advertising posters, signage systems, books or lettering for example that not only combine different languages but two or even more writing systems with varying visual precepts and habits.

nomad #5 – where to go?
Die fünfte Ausgabe von nomad betrachtet »The Human Aspect« in der Entwicklung unserer Zeit. Der Mensch ist der größte Einflussfaktor auf unserem Planeten und sein Wirken beeinflusst seine Rolle selbst. Der Künstler Edward Burtynsky dokumentiert in diesem Kontext die Verformung der Erde von Menschenhand. Was bedeutet Mensch sein, wenn die Robotik Intimität übernimmt? Dieser Frage geht der Interactive Designer Dan Chen mit seinen einfühlsamen Maschinen nach. Die globale digitale Transformation bestimmt nicht nur den Weg der Informationen, sondern auch unserer Gefühle. Die Medienkünstlerin Cécile B. Evans ergründet dazu wirtschaftlichen Wert unserer Emotionen. Wie werden wir uns in der Zukunft ernähren? Hervé This stellt uns nach der Molekularküche die Notenküche vor. Gibt es zukünftig noch ein Innen und Außen oder nur ein Sein? Der japanische Architekt Junya Ishigami verabschiedet sich von Grenzen in der Architektur – für die Existenz des Menschen im Hier und Jetzt.

Slanted Magazine #32—Dubai
In Spring 2018 the Slanted editors took a close-up look at the contemporary design scene of Dubai. A city—when described by many people—that is all sickening shine and has no soul, an air-conditioned bubble of hype whose hubris guarantees imminent cultural and ecological Armageddon. They believe the UAE to act as a kind of narcissistic mutating mirror to the emerging anxieties of the West.
But Dubai and the whole region, originally a piece of desert sparsely populated by Bedouins, is now transforming itself rapidly into a center, if not the world’s greatest center, of trade, finance, and tourism. And moreover, something important happened in the last few years: Culture! Today, a new Arab world is being plotted and planned. The entire Gulf is teeming with initiatives—from the most public to the most private—to change and reinvent seemingly immutable rules, regimes, edicts, and assumptions, culminating, perhaps, in the stated intention to work more closely together. The Gulf states have a past, and they will have a future. The contours of that future are legible in this Slanted issue!
Slanted met some of the most amazing creatives such as Möbius Studio. Not only can you find their brilliant works in the new issue, Slanted also provides a deeper look at their opinions and views through video interviews that can be watched online on our video platform for free: www.slanted.de/dubai.
Illustrations, photography, interviews and essays complement the issue thematically.
