Benedict Beck
Benedikt Beck (* 1985 ) is a German illustrator , cartoonist and comic author . In addition to comic publications such as the autobiographical norms Minus and the coming-of-age story S.FEKMD - Later nobody asks about it anyway , Beck emerged primarily as a designer of board games.
Beck passed his high school diploma in design and published several comic volumes in the Oberhausen independent publisher Fake Press and cartoons in the Süddeutsche Zeitung while he was still at school . He completed his media design studies at the Georg Simon Ohm University of Applied Sciences in Nuremberg . He graduated in 2010 with Norms Minus , a comic about coping with a breakup. Apart from a brief activity as a graphic designer in an advertising agency, Beck has since worked as a freelance illustrator.
In terms of style, Benedikt Beck feels particularly influenced by the American cartoon series Cow & Chicken and Ren & Stimpy . The "mixing of sad and gloomy topics with humor" is, according to his own statement, a main characteristic of his comics.
