I do Art, Comics, Illustration, Music and whatever-I-want-to-do based in Berlin. I love to experiment. It would be hard to stick to only one thing for me. I guess that’s called multi-passionate.
My aim in life is to inspire as many people as I can to be creative. Why? I think creativity is the most fulfilling thing to do.
So, feel free to explore this website, write me a mail (or DM) anytime, I love to talk about anything creativity- or art-related!
- I’m mostly active on Instagram if you want to keep up with my work.
- I have a comic series called Careless Comics – which you can get per mail for free!
- You find my solo music on Spotify and co.
- I also have an imaginary rock band called Echo Dolphins, find the debut album on Spotify.

Frequently asked questions
How old are you?
What I feel like: Between 5 and 10 years old. Reality: I was born in 1991.
But I can live with getting older. It’s not a problem for me. I love old people.
Is art your fulltime job?
No. And that’s great actually. I don’t have to change my art for money and don’t have the monetary pressure that can really kill you. Like literally kill you.
How can you have such a high output of art and music?
Well, I can tell you that this wasn’t always the case. I was always producing a lot of stuff but I had the phases where I was creatively exhausted. Since some years though I have changed a lot about how I approach creativity and put systems into place that ensure that I can be creative all the time. Without any creative blocks.
I want to share my knowledge with all of you and get you to that creative flowstate too!! But I first have to work out how to do this in the best way. Maybe write a book? Let’s see…
In the meanwhile you can join my mailing list in which I share some of my insights 🙂
How is your name pronounced?
First of all: My first name is Falk! NOT Louis 😁
Falk is hard to say for an english native speaker, the closest word to it is… uhm, I guess… Fuck? 😅 For the perfect pronunciation check out THIS VIDEO
Louis is pronounced without the s, so it’s like the french name.
What art supplies/gear do you use?
My most important art supply is my brain. Joking aside I work in all kinds of media with all kinds of material. I am a big believer in doing whatever suits you. Just try out a bunch of stuff and see what works fine for you. It definitely doesn’t have to be expensive. But I also am not a fan of “it’s all about you no matter the tools” – the tools DO matter a lot.
What are your influences?
Sooooooo many influences!!! Do you really wanna hear about them?
Alright. I warned you.
