About graphic novel 'Deinotherium'

For sheer enjoyment, the last few years I have been dedicating my free time to creating a graphic novel which I write and illustrate using the technique of aquarelle painting on paper. Over the course of a summer day, the tale unfolds slowly, unveiling cherished memories and the essence of my personal experiences and relationships with dear ones.
I am sharing the first and second part freely as a digital flipbook on this website, while the third part (the more dreamy and poetic) will follow in mid-2026 as a complete, self-published printed book.
