Daffy Duck is a famous cartoon character from Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes. He is known for his over-the-top behaviour, his selfishness and his famous catchphrase: “You’re despicable!” (in German: “Du bist abscheulich!”). Typical hip hop.
Duffy is part of a series of nearly 40 Pokémon, Mario and Disney characters that were on display as part of an exhibition at the Gottesauer Eck in Karlsruhe in 2024. It’s a series that’s constantly growing and brings childhood memories back to life

About me: My artistic journey has evolved from small drawings through abstract works on cotton cloths to strongly expressionist depictions of animals and fashion illustrations. Despite the seemingly aggressive nature of these motifs, it is always the draughtsman-like quality – the sketch, the quick stroke – that dominates. Colour becomes a filling element. Speed is of crucial importance in my work, as it not only shapes the process but is also reflected in the line itself.
My works are my pack and are always embedded in stories. The motifs have their roots in children’s books, drawings, films and magazines.
