German artist Andreas Preis decided to do something with his weakness for drawing and colors. In 2004, he moved to Nuremberg to study communications design. After an internship with Springer&Jacoby in 2007 he realized that advertising wouldn’t be his favourite field of work. It was then he started to become a little bit more artistic and free. In 2009 he finished his studies and started to work as a free designer and illustrator.

He loves to make portraits, always trying to find some depth in his models. (more…)

Currently I’m also into 3D sculptures (Zbrush) and Flash animation. (more…)

From age four to 16 I lived under the iron-fisted tutelage of a clan of Kung Fu monks, studying without rest from sunup till sundown — except Thursdays, when Project Runway was on — in preparation for the day when their superhuman powers would be bestowed upon me and I would carry on their thousand-year legacy of justice, honor, and fashion-forward flare. Finally the time came, kneeling at the foot of the temple stairs, my head bowed, ready for enlightenment. After what felt like hours — but was actually like two minutes according to my iPhone — it began. “A choice awaits, my son. Drink from the red elixir and be blessed with the gift of flight, guarding the vault of heaven like the sword of god. (more…)
