In the week of documentary comics we  teacher Kai Pfeiffer from Berlin.

He is an interesting comic artist with a background education from the art academy. You can check out his work here:

In the week with Kai we were challenge with the social borders of interviewing a stranger on the street and with very less material try to create a one page comic.

This is a drawing I did of Kai :D




On my way I met "Bjarne" - and I had a little chat with him. Unfortunately it's in Danish, because he was speaking Danish, but then you can enjoy the cute artwork.
 
 
Another small assignment was to make the layout for a comic page based on the text from another class mate. We had one hour.
 
 
After trying out and panicking by the fact you just spoke with a random person on the street (I actually enjoyed it - Bjarne was a good fellow)
We had to eather pick a person or a place, to follow or observe one whole day. This day would be for collecting moments, drawings, dialogue, situations, atmosphere of the place or the character we choose. A whole day of just observing ( hoping something interesting would come up)
 
In the end I chose to sit in a fancy hair dresser salon in the city center. A cozy little spot. They had a lot of great costumers and there was a lot of small funny moments I could have used, but in the end I chose the most sad/serious story of all of them. This is my 4 page comic and also some illustrations I did (based on life drawings I did that day)
 
How can I help you?
