HALLO! I’M MAX.
I’m a freelance illustrator and graphic designer
enjoying creating artwork for LPs and gig posters, skate- and surfboards,
as well as for newspapers and magazines.
However, I’m basically curious about everything
that needs some smart and concept-driven or simply atmospheric imagery.
Apart from that I’m a highly trained Pasta glutton and over-worried dog parent,
a landlocked ocean lover and part-time grump trying to understand this weird thing called modern life in my personal work like DAYMARE BOOGIE or THE PSYCHIC VAULT.
