my name is hans bacher, – I work as production designer in the animation film industry. for the last 40 years I lived and worked in duesseldorf, london, paris, los angeles and tokyo. now I live in manila, philippines and travel all over asia, giving lectures in universities and studios.








Wow, this is some beautiful work, Hans. It reminds me of some of the work of Russian illustrator Bilibin, are you familiar with his work?
from hans -
of course. I love his work. someone in the studio had a book with most of his work, – so hard to find
A year and a half ago there was an exhibition in the Netherlands about Russian fairy tales. I saw a lot of his originals there. It was amazing!
If you are looking for a book with his illustrations you could try to find the catalogue of this exhibition: http://www.naipublishers.nl/art/russiantales_e.html
It features the work of some other Russian masters too…

thank you for the link. will try to order it. hope it will arrive…
amazing work here, Hans. I really like the looseness of your marker renderings, but also the tightness of the linear work – it’s great all around.
you may have already discussed this previously, but do you have a favorite medium/method? if it’s digital today, which tactile method did you prefer?
thanks.

I am still doing all my sketches with a japanese brushpen and a german
lamy fountainpen on paper. then the ‘real’ work happens in photoshop,
adding some of my 15.000 brushes and the color.
