Wederendungen is an ongoing illustration project inspired by the Bruegel´s Dutch Proverbs and German "Wimmelbilder" or hidden objects illustrations. It combines my love for illustration with my slightly nerdy passions for everything language related. The Wederendungen turned out to be a poster containing over 250 German proverbs and idioms in one city scene. The location is real, crossing of the streets in Berlin Friedrichshain–where my studio is located, but the characters are all fictious. Ok all but two :) As next I am planning on doing a booklet with all explanations, a puzzle picture, memory card game and more. Check my shop link to see what else is being offered.
Rede Wendela
THE PROJECT AVATAR
Meet Wendela, she posts single idioms on an instagram page. every one or two days, with an explanation, example sentences and sometimes information about the origins of the idiom or proverb. On good days, if she is not too lazy, the idioms are presented by herself directly. Each post is marked so the idiom can be located back on the big poster.
Some additional cover posts. Each is marked with a location where the idiom can be found back on the poster.
And of course I am rolling out some merchandise with some of the favourite characters :) Check my shop link above for more.
