joffen & kanille


These jolly fellows have haunted me for a decade now.
When I got this assignment I was asked to create a bear and a bunny.
At that time I was a huge fan of Bill Waterson, I still am, and so my caracters developed into Calvin and Hobbes caracters.
But the author of the figures liked them, and they soon grew very popular among kids. I thought this was just a fling and did never imagine in my wildest dreams that they would last as long as to this very day!
And now, after 10 years they constantly remind me of my "little misstake" as a young and thoughtless illustrator.
