I was commissioned by Zeit Magazin to do a feature project for them. The subject? Drawings of cool contemporary furniture set in unusual natural environments.

The challenge of doing a piece with no humans was something I would have been reluctant to suggest to an art director, and I’ve never really felt like environments were my strong suit, but the fact Zeit was tossing the prospect of 9 illustrations fitting this description seemed too crazy to not say “yes” to. Working outside my comfort zone on a cover and 8 full-page images with a tight deadline seemed to have “disaster” written all over it. Sign me up!
