Life
Luis Murschetz studied six semesters at a mechanical engineering school and worked in a factory; then attended the school for applied arts in Graz .
He later drew commercial graphics and sports caricatures for an advertising agency in Rotterdam for a year . Further stations were Feldkirchen and Munich (both Germany ), where the first drawings appeared in the Süddeutsche Zeitung in 1967 . Since 1971 Luis Murschetz has been drawing political caricatures for the weekly newspaper Die Zeit ( Hamburg ) as the successor to Paul Flora ; this activity ended in 2010.
He is not only concerned with caricatures, but he also draws "dark" things such as vampires or monsters .
In 1972, works by Luis Murschetz were part of the exhibition Seven Fantastic Humorists from the Daniel Keel gallery in Zurich , which wandered through Germany.
His first children's book, The Grabowski Mole , was published that same year and has since been translated into ten languages, including Japanese .
