Graphic Novel Lesung

Tobi Dahmen

,Der Fahrradmod‘

In einer bebilderten Lesung aus seiner preisgekrönten Graphic Novel nimmt uns Tobi Dahmen mit in seine Jugend in Wesel.  In die Subkulturen der 80er und 90er. Und was wäre eine Jugend ohne die „beste“ Musik!?

I was born in 1971 in Frankfurt/Main and grew up in Wesel on the Rhine and studied visual communication in Düsseldorf. 

My final year project was an illustrated book about the beat poet Jack Kerouac and the underworld of American jazz clubs in the Fifties. 

After my study I founded in 1999 with friends the award-winning comic-anthology Herrensahne and took part in the art-group "Die Tapezisten".

Ever since I have been working as a comic artist and illustrator for print media, advertising and the internet. Since 2008 I live with my family in Utrecht, Holland.

I’m doing my job for many years now, have worked on heaps of projects and respectively created even more illustrations. From nationwide campaigns up to key visuals for local companies. And still I love my job. :)

I believe illustrations are the most straightforward and simplest form of communication. Just as well finding the right visual language for a certain task is a new challenge each time. Using character design, timing and composition to accomplish exactly what you are wishing for. All the while addressing your target group appropriately and simultaneously let it have some fun.

For a lot of my clients I‘m working for quite some time now; they trust me, because they promptly get what they want and sometimes a wee bit more. Satisfied clients and readers fill me with pride and gratitude, for they offer me the opportunity to keep on doing what I love so much.
