Katrin Funcke was born in 1970 in Bielefeld, studied communication design with emphasis on illustration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Braunschweig and since 1998 working as a freelance illustrator in Berlin. I really like her style of mixing watercolor and pencil sketches with vector graphics im a rougher way. My favorite illustrator T.B. was telling me lively about her and yes of course I totally agree with her. I always love to see sketchbooks and Funcke is showing a collaborated work called “the Bettine Frieze” on her website, which I can watch hundred times and always find some new interesting spots. Her clients list is also really impressive and long. We have so many great illustrator in Germany and I hope the magazines and newspaper will use their drawings and illustrations more often like they do so in France.
