joseph binder award 12

Two weeks ago the Joseph Binder award ceremony took place in Vienna. Thanks to my lousy immune system that week I had to stay in bed and missed the event (-_-) but at least I got to browse through the exhibition a couple of days later and pick up my bag of 'goodies', merit awards and the catalogues. 

Below you can spot my 'Fingerprints' and 'Christmas Peace drawings' hanging on the walls of the designforum among all nominated and awarded entries - found this nearly perfect picture in the internet thanks to afraidofus.com.

The gold-winner in the category of Illustration is the stunning illustrated novella 'Adelbert von Chamissos' by Franziska Walther. If interested you can take a look at the full list here or pop by at the exhibition in the designforum Wien (Vienna) until the 16th of December. 

Joseph Binder Award 2012 shortlist

Good News! The two entries I sent in got on the shortlist for a Joseph Binder Award and  

the Christmas Peace drawings and fingerprints now have a merit award for sure which is already pretty great. 

Just sent my confirmation mail for the event which will take place in a month in Vienna. 

Because I was feeling 'gif.fy' the other day and to express my joy I made this happy face:

make make

Threadless is asking people to make a 'make'... so here is one made by my fingertips
and here are many more to browse through... and this is a really nice, inspiring TED talk by Jake Nickell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB2e4f1YhYw about threadless, its philosophy and making things out of love and joy. --- enjoy :)

Fingerprints

conductor

rockstar

hero

These 'fingerprints' came from an idea I had a while ago for ipad/iphone cases and skin designs.

The index finger is the hero of this little series as he takes the lead when navigating on a touch screen. He gets accompanied and cheered on by his fellow fingertips.

I uploaded it now on society6 — the only thing that bugs me a little is that the design gets misplaced on the iphone case but fits on the skin -'cause u only upload it once for both skin and case..but well, hope I'll find a way to fix this. (uff.) Here how they should look like...
