I am Raphael, illustrator and storyteller from Germany. My main focus is on atmosphere and aesthetics reminiscent of the darker fairytales I grew up with. Despite my penchant for the beautiful, I am most inspired by the unsettling and almost-human, the grey between the black and white and finding hypnotic patterns where others may just see chaos.

My main project – working title “glassheart” – is a dark fantasy novel series with a good dash of cosmic horror. You can find me chatting about it in the wild if you look for me.
