Sven Marcel
Illustrator
Even as a child, no sheet of paper and no vacancy in my exercise books was safe from me. Every free space was used to provide them with thought-out comic characters and cartoons. Even today it still itches my fingers every time I see a sheet of paper in front of me. So it was just logical that I turned my hobby into my profession and thus found my calling.
I have been working as a freelance comic artist and illustrator since 1997 and I am happy every day when I can sit at my desk to allow colorful comic worlds to emerge in front of me. I love inventing cartoon characters and stories and the challenge of realizing my customers’ wishes according to their ideas. And every time I am amazed at what can arise out of nowhere on a white sheet of paper with imagination, imagination and the necessary craftsmanship.
