ADC Auszeichnung (Award)
Jawolla. After I won a ballon trip when I was 12 years old (never joined it by the way) I just found out about my second prize won in my life. I won a “Auszeichnung” (award) at the german creative competition ADC (Art Directors Club) with my illustrated tool for IKEA “Stoff fuer deine Phantasie”. Even though I am doing something else right now, its a good feeling though that my time as a graphic designer bore fruits now and I can announce to have at least one award.
On top of that I am happy and further confident in life and my situation. Even though my girlfriend went back to the states, I feel happy knowing her and everything makes sense in life anyways. She knows that as well as I do. I am based in Nanjing now as you can see on my new website as well. www.pflock.com . I am working as a teacher for English and German here and do my exhibition soon, which is fun. I practice as much as I can my characters and learn how to understand this language. Its great, yes. And especially in these days when I hear foreigners outside taking about China, that there would be no desire at all to visit this “evil” country. I love it. I love China. Yes. Maybe because I am interested in the people in general and not only in the country’s way of leading it. And as a German saying says: you shouldn’t throw pears and apples into the same basket. The people are great in China.
I hug you all, miss and love you.

moleskine II
I have a lot to download for you folks. Its kind of bad quality, but the korean scanner couldn’t make it better. I do apologize. First of all donutworld: I draw that in New York as you can imagine. #2 was in bryantpark. Everybody was so peaceful and happy about the open air movie. So I thought about some aliens just gonna eat those happy guys into seconds. lol. #3 is the baseballfan. Don’t ask me anything about that. Thanks. #4 is my favorite. When I flew back from Tampa to New York, American Airlines had to change the plane for that flight, cause the restrooms were broken. So I imagined the worst case. #5 has been created in Hollywood: stupid like … no more comments on that one. #6 is LA-downtown. When I took the bus to the greyhound station I saw so many drunk and homeless people in such a small place. wow. Not funny at all actually. And finally #7 is a interpretation of the dutch funeral. which i saw in the New Zealand Christchurch Art Gallery today. Thanks to Dean. The original is drawn by Petrus van der Velden in 1872. By the way, Dean is a really nice guy and I am more as happy to work with this guy the next weeks. Update whats going on here and photographs will follow soon. Can take a while. I am getting more and more ambitious with my pictures. Thanks for reading my blog everybody. I miss you all.

Ikea | Stoff für deine Phantasie
Na gut, bevor es dann losgeht, habe ich hier doch noch mal was zum Thema Arbeit: Mein letztes Projekt bei GGH ist online (seit dem 07.05.). Darauf bin ich mehr oder weniger besonders Stolz drauf. Weniger, weil die Auswahl der Stoffe leider nicht in unserem Spielraum lagen und mehr, da ich die ganzen Illustrationen der Welten machen durfte und das Navigationskonzept mit überlegt habe. Was jetzt zwar auch kein Meilenstein ist, aber .. Naja. Nun wünsche ich allen Usern schneller PCs viel Spaß, den anderen (Mac) Geduld.

KOA ist schon recht bekannt. Nur zur Erinnerung, wie geil das ist.
