My art comes from an urge to explore. I like the countryside. I like a good view. And once I’m face to face with a lovely scenery, I feel immediately tempted to find out what it’s concealing. The dark goings-on behind the façade of nature, you might say, or the hidden machinations of the animal kingdom.
To imagine and express this, I usually tap the lines linking religious icon art, renaissance painting and comic culture. I am particularly thrilled by the kind of spiritual terror you find expressed in the paintings of the old Flemish masters, and I’m trying to find out what happens when you apply that mood to the serene and harmless world of rural folk art.
I am based in Hamburg, Germany, but my stuff has also been shown in such diverse places as Estonia, New York, Paris, Saint Petersburg, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle. When not busy with art or media work, I can usually be found painting pictures with my 2 and 8 year old sons.
Hello Heiko. Thanks for add. All the best to you. CYBIONT is a
musical venture from New
Zealand. Hope you find it interesting. Have
you seen a spare Flying Saucer around? If you do, let me know. I’m planning a
take off..
Awww...yay! Thank you so much for reading my lil' comics, Heiko! I appreciate it :) And I'll always be a fan of your work. I think your art is brilliant.
Hopefully I'll have more stuff to post soon. I've got a mean case of writer's block. I attribute it mostly to this desert heat. It was 111 degrees yesterday. Bleah! It's melting all of my ideas away!

it's kind of a weird page, but it's my youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/kroabot where I explore comedy/art/music in a mixture of saxophone solos performed for stuffed animals, random babbling conversations with myself, and some playful home videos with my family. Hope you enjoy this, and remember this was me 2 or 3 months ago, I'M A LOT DIFFERENT NOW! (that was old school, i'm all grown up now) lol ^^
