did you notice that the cat above is breathing very slowly? if you need to calm down, you can try to breathe at the same rhythm

kotiki – moi narkotiki

in march 2015, I was studying at the university of Munich, living in a dormitory, and there was a calendar with cats on the wall. one of the kittens looked deep into my soul. why not make this gaze even deeper? I drew this cat with a finisher and a black pencil on white A5 paper

in february 2019 I made a frame-by-frame animation in Adobe Photoshop

in june 2019, it was selected as one of 10 posters presented by Forward Creatives ↗ at the Fritz-kola poster exhibition at the Forward Festivals ↗ in Vienna, Munich, Zurich and Hamburg, and published in Forward Magazine

in march 2021, my animation was featured by the design-icon Stefan Sagmeister ↗ on his instagram ↗. Stefan Sagmeinster is an Austrian designer who has won two Grammys and almost every major international design award and has designed for prestigious clients such as the Rolling Stones, HBO and the Guggenheim Museum, more on wiki ↗

later on Stefan Sagmeister selected several artworks, including my animation, and presented them to a wider audience at the Forward Festival 2021. for the first time, because of the pandemic, it was an online event and reached more than 3,000 participants from 50 nations

it was an honour to have my work presented and commented on by leading figures in the design world. I learned first-hand how important and motivating valuable feedback is, and since then, I have made it an integral part of my design processes
