Othmar WickeI am a autodidact and I trained myself in this direction since I was able to use my fingers. Apart of my earlier employment as a designer for a large enterprise, I had the possibility to make illustrations and cartoons for magazines and advertisement. I had my own cartoon page in the austrian "Gastro" magazine starting from 1991. In 1993 I made over one year the Cartoon illustrations for an advertisement of the Cooperative Bicycle in the magazine "falter". For the Internet cafe "s-20" I developed a mascot for their homepage and for various of flyers. For the "Young Generation" I made Cartoons for postcards. In the context of the national council poll 1999, I created a Comicstrip (blue bear and propeller) to the SPOe Parliaments Club, which was worth its own article even to the austrian magazine "format" in the number 37/1999. Since 1999 I am also creating animated gifs and at last, I won the prestigious Grand Prize of the "Gif Battle 2000", organized by the "Animated Gif Artist Guild".
