THE SWARM - SEAMINING

A couple more pieces from my artwork for the German TV series 'Der Schwarm' (The Swarm) based on Frank Schätzing's bestseller from 2004. I learned so much during this journey: about light, about water, about technolgy, about science, about nature it was insanely beautiful. Some of these images are older than two years by now and I'm still happy with most of them. If you are an artist, you know this is almost never the case. Credit is due to an incredible team and great communication throughout the departments. It was quite an exhausting ride, but I don't want to miss any of it.
