Edition: 50, signed and numbered
illustrated by Doris Freigofas
“Von einem, der auszog das Fürchten zu lernen” is a modern interpretation of the well-known Grimms’ fairy tale “The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was.” In eleven double-page spreads it tells the story of a boy on his way to adulthood, who explores and crosses his own borders in search of himself.
The pictures tell the story without text and try to leave scope for individual interpretation. An extra booklet containing the original text is attached into the jacket flap at the end of the book.
The book was awarded in the international competition “Best Designed Books from all over the World 2010”, it won “Gold” in 3x3 Pro Show, New York and it was rewarded in Picture Book Awards, Korea, among others.

Glorious Types
2010
24×37 cm
3 color screen print
edition: 40, signed and numbered
illustrated by Daniel Dolz
“Glorious Types” is a symbiosis of illustration and type design. On eleven double-page spreads Daniel Dolz illustrates a complete team of legendary football players from various nations and from different decades. The book shows a varied mixture of most diverse characters (goalkeeper, strikers and defenders) which also is reflected in the choice of fonts. For each player Daniel Dolz designed a special font which coheres with the illustration.
In the side flaps of each illustration spread you can find a list with facts and short anecdotes of every player and the complete alphabet A-Z.
