illustration = illumination

the highest duty of an illustrator is to support written or spoken word to become "illuminated" without irradiating it. very often it is difficult not to step in front too harsh on one hand but to survive behind the words on the other. excellent illustration is never a one wo/man show.

the following examples are road-markings on my long way into possible (maybe) perfection:
