Henning's handsome Mr Fox

Julia Donaldson, children's laureate and author of the Gruffalo, chose "My name is Mr Fox" written by Shen Roddie and illustrated by Henning Löhlein, amongst her top ten favourite recent picture books, as published in The Guardian Saturday 22 October 2011. 

Greta & Honey

 

I have done my first Pixi Book, a must for every writer and illustrator in Germany. 

(they are small 10x10 cm paperbacks, coming ion a box of 8, these ones for the women football world cup, happening this summer in Germany, sold for 0,95 € each)

 

Centrespace Gallery Exhibtion, Bristol

 
As every year, most of the people who have a studio in Centrespace (6,Leonard Lane, Bristol BS11EA) will have a pre-christmas exhibition at Centrespace Gallery, starting on Friday 26th November until Wednesday 1st December, open daily from 11am until 5pm, private view Saturday 27th November from 4pm until 7pm, with mulled wine and cake. So come along if you are in Bristol.

Wie Weihnachten beihnahe ausfiel

 
After the success of the Christmas Rabbit (15 000 copies sold), the follow up story has just been published in Germany, "Wie Weihnachten beihnahe ausfiel", written by Adriana Dorsett, published by Hoffmann & Campe, Hamburg.

Fluffy Wuffy Norbert

This double page spread illustration shows Norbert, our fluffy hero, in my next Christmas Book "Wie Weihnachten beinahe ausfiel" (Turned Out Almost Like Christmas) written by Adriana Dorsett and published by Hoffmann & Campe in the autumn. Here he is very annoyed, because everyone just calls him fluffy wuffy, and everyone expects him to be good, when in reality he is the trouble maker. To find out more, you have to wait until publication day....

Die Oma im Drachenbauch (The Grandmother in the Dragon Belly)

These are some black and white images, for a collection of short stories written by Gudrun Pausewang, and published in the autumn by Gerstenberg, Germany. I really enjoyed working in black and white, and would love to do more work like that. It is so much faster than colour illustrations. The drawings were combined with photography to give the pictures more texture.
