This is a quick, minimal little logo design I did a while back for my friends Alina & Timm and their new podcast „Die Sonne über Altona“. Give it a listen! You can find all episodes right here. There should be a new one today. :) And I’m sure they would be really happy about…
„FILE: IF_EXC_503_FRST_BRD“ This is a piece I’ve worked on for a long time. It’s a lot of fun to pack as many details into drawings like these, but it’s always hard to determine, when to stop. :) I could’ve gone on with this – I also tried different moods, times of day, but finally settled…
If you’re following me on instagram, you may be aware that a few weeks ago, I started a poster series dedicated to GRRL POWER. Why? Let me quote myself here. A week of immense GRRL POWER lies behind me. I traveled to a small town near Frankfurt, Germany, to do a shooting for an important…
I LOVE One-Take Videos. I don’t really know why. I think it’s this fascination with having just one try. Of course it’s never just ONE try, but lots and lots of failed attempts until you get it just right. Maybe it’s the amount of effort that goes into these? With one-takes, there’s no „we’ll fix…
A belated HAPPY 2017 to all of you! I’m having high hopes for this year. Though I’m not usually one to look to astrology for advice, the last year was just too fucked not to. I’ve been told that’s it’s all been Uranus‘ fault. As a disrupting force, he wreaked havoc whereever possible, tore relationships…
It’s been quiet here, but I haven’t been idle. Quite the opposite, actually: In october, i did the so-called „inktober“ challenge. It’s a nerdy little worldwide illustrator fest, with instagram as its main channel. What’s the challenge? You draw every day in october. Preferrably with ink. Here are my 31 contributions. They are for sale!…
Recently I’ve been almost addicted to the new Hannibal series starring Mads Mikkelsen. Had a hard time not binge-watching it during my vacation last week. Here’s a quick little sketch from yesterday. For some reason it’s most unnerving to me whenever Hannibal is wearing casual clothes and has his hair hanging all over the place……
Introducing a new (actually, the first) blog category! I’ve been wanting to improve my architecture/perspective drawing skills since a long time. While browsing old photos, I came upon lots and lots of great architecture shots that I took while on vacation. Instead of letting them rot on my external hard drive, I’ve decided to start…
It’s the weekend and I need to do work for the agency in advance. If I don’t I’ll be stuck there until at least 2 AM tomorrow. To get into the creative spirit (or was it just procrastination?) I did this sketch of a punk girl, probably hanging ‚round at the skate rink, watching her…
I’m excited to say I will be attending the 2016 Brand Nieuwe Conference of UnderConsideration in Amsterdam! Lucky me won a give-away ticket. Lots of great speakers and attendees from around the world. AND all that in my (so far) favourite city on earth. I can’t wait!
Zur Feier des Tages schenke ich euch ein simples, dezent feierliches Katzenbriefpapier. Inklusive einer wachen und einer schlafenden Katze. Für all eure kurzfristigen Weihnachtsbriefe an Familie/Freunde/Katzenliebhaber und -hasser.
My name is Margarete Laue – but you may call me Maggie – and I’m a multidisciplinary creative living and working in Hamburg, Germany.
While I specialize in illustration, graphic design and art direction, I am equally interested in many other forms of artistic expression. This includes writing, photography and animation. Basically, in all that I do, I want to tell a good story. I’m passionate about finding the right angle and authentic voice for every project and client.
