My personal style can be attributed to the movies & cartoons I watched as a child (mainly of the sci-fi and horror variety) that led to a lifelong fascination in all things weird, experimental, and surreal - Art that pushes the boundaries of the medium and immerses you in its own unique world.Don't fret! I can adapt to any aesthetic your heart desires, and I embrace the challenge of new projects with open arms.(The challenge is my favorite part!)
THAT'S ME!
I'm Wolfgang, a graphic designer and artist of many other titles, currently searching for work!Proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, and Premiere, as well as Blender.I've dabbled in design since the age of 13 (and been an artist for much longer); Once a few classes taught me the ropes of Adobe software, I was off on my own creative journey.I believe that art is one of the most important parts of life. It functions not only as decoration and entertainment, but as a form of communication and expression of our humanity.I don't just want to create art. I want to dissect it, analyze it, and truly understand all there is to know about the intentions, fundamentals, and history behind it.
I DON'T BITE!
DEVIL'S WORSEWORLD
A series of surreal shorts exploring the awful, awful lives of WORSEWORLD's inhabitants.This is a personal project of mine, still in the works. I began making it as a comic under the name ANGELPUNK, but after I gave the story an overhaul, I decided an animated series would be a better fit.
BRIEF:
A logo for a surreal animated series with aspects of psychological horror. Reality itself is unstable, and the world resembles the aftermath of a nuclear winter in a dystopian society. Visual motifs include VHS and glitchy video effects, liminal spaces, early internet/old tech (think 90s sci-fi), and unsettling imagery juxtaposed against the characters' childlike outlook on life.SOLUTION:
SCRAPPED COMIC CONCEPTS
SKOBELOFF FOREST
In 2024, I joined the team as a graphic designer on Skobeloff Forest, an upcoming independent animated series, and created their logo.Since the studio is entirely self-funded (and thus lacking in funds), my work for them is scattered between various projects.
BRIEF:
A logo for a TV-14 animated series that, while being a musical comedy, contains heavy subject matter and aspects of horror. The story follows two sisters entering a portal to a strange new world known as "The Forest". Uses the series' signature color of Skobeloff blue.SOLUTION:
I drew inspiration from the 'portal' itself (which appears as a blue fog), as well as a character from the forest - Drax, a "skele-ghoul" with a skull as his face. With a combination of sharp features and ornate details, the skull evokes a sense of mystery, magic, and unknown dangers. The "eyes" instill a feeling of being watched, similar to how the main characters feel their past looms over them.An organic style was requested to align with a handmade/collaged, punk/grunge, 2000s aesthetic of the characters. The wordmark's lettering resembles words scratched into wood, to juxtapose against the imagery of the town's welcome sign.
