Click here to read my previous blog about this charity project.

It has been completed for a few weeks now, and though I haven't had the opportunity to share it here until now, I am thrilled to see the overwhelming interest my pot garnered during the bidding process. The successful culmination of this year's project brings me immense joy.
For a detailed account and ongoing updates, you can explore and follow the project on BOOBBUSINESS's Instagram.

Keep an eye on my blog for regular updates on my ongoing project. While officially my New Year's Resolution for 2024,
I couldn't wait and decided to kick off a bit earlier! >D

Expect 2 to 3 -weekly posts sharing glimpses into both my personal life and work.
Enjoy the journey with me #journeyinGermayha

In diesem Jahr habe ich zum ersten Mal die sehr gute Möglichkeit, meinen Illustrationsautomaten auf der CIB (Comic Invasion Berlin) zu präsentieren.
Ich freue mich sehr, dass IlluMayha auf der offiziellen CIB-Website zu finden ist.


Die Resonanz des Publikums war positiv, besondere bei den Kindern.
Die lange Schlangen bei der Abwarten und dann noch bleiben, obwohl der Automat eine kleine Pause zur Abkühlung einlegte
"Error,  Automat überhitzt" (Natürlich war nur meine "normale Mittagpause".  Aber das schreibe ich mit Humor :)

In der Veranstaltung  kam noch eine kleine Überraschung, dass die anderen Künstlern aus unserem OUSA.Collective,
Filipa und Sevin. Jeder vorbeikam und haben 2-3 Stunden Porträt mit eigenen einzigartigen Stil gezeichnet.

Diese Erfahrung hat mich sehr inspiriert, alternative Porträtstile für IlluMayha zu erkunden (deswegen mag ich gerne als Collaborator, mit anderen Künstlern zu arbeiten).

Einige davon sind auf der Westallee 2023 zu sehen: https://www.mayha-suaysom.com/jourger/illumayha-westallee-2023.
Wo aber mein Arbeitsplatz/Büro ist, in der Johannesstraße 72. Dort kamen meisten Prototypen und Mock-ups meiner Kunstwerke zum Testen.

An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich herzlich bei Augusto Paim für den Automat-Namen bedanken. (Augusto ist einem Journalisten und ist auch im CIB-Teams) Seitdem wird er offiziell "IlluMayha" heißen. Der Name ist wirklich cool.

Zugegeben, die Idee, in einer Kabine zu sitzen und zu zeichnen, ist nicht völlig neu. IlluMayha begann als einfaches Fenster und hat sich nun zur 7. Modell als eine Kabine entwickelt.
Weitere Version wird abhängig von der Location.

Falls jemand mich nach meinen Inspirationsquellen fragt,  hier ist die Antwort

After feedback from Westallee it seems like I should do Illu-Automat further. This time for Night of a 1000. , the biggest and the last event from them.  It happened once a year and they will sell (auction) all pictures from Doodle-session from the whole year in this event. All income from this will be donated to Abiwest and STELP. I was asked with my LIVE portrait and Illu-Automat, a few weeks before the night and this time , Illu-Automat was not only me inside.  I worked together with an artist "Jascha".

Because we both have totally different drawing styles. So we decided to switch more often. So the people couldn't expect in each style from us. Furthermore they get a portrait in DIN-A5, not a photo strip like in Westallee.

PS:  If you like "IlluMayha" an Illustration machine and want to have it in your event or any celebration? (Wedding, Birthday, Team party, Get-together event, Children workshop etc...), please contact me. And of course! The IlluMayha can draw more than portraits :).

Do you read comic in your mind with different tone, voice, while you read it in a silence? :)

That was the main idea for this workshop that I did with 1000 Drawings Stuttgart, a cooperation project between Comic.Juju and their team. 

Basically we started from emotional sharing, how we make voice in different situation. After that we made comic from basic material, same picture, same keyword with different style.  

This year my work was exhibited in this fair. Such a great honor! :) 
But..... somehow I realised that I couldn't be to finish my idea, to express my inspiration.
Let see what I could do from far away.
PS: Thank you internet and deutschepost.

I feel so grateful after I shared my idea to my sister. And it's pretty done like I want (yeah! she's also in design area, so... a kind of easy btw). In this blog I would like to share behind the scene more than just the final work.

​This year I'm a 1 of 150 BKKIF Artist 2022.  Yuhu! Thank you BKKIF team for chooseing my works for this year.
My submitted work: ​https://www.bangkokillustrationfair.com/artist/2022/71

This summer year is a crazy time for me. I tried this project and it made me so much fun!
I started this idea because my working place is exakt on the Westallee street, such a perfect place. :D 

The machine is like a photo machine that we normally use it in Germany to take a biologisch photo for i.g. Visa requirement, even for an ID card (yeah! they scan a photopaper and place into a card. (lol) )

It's a kind of nostalgic. I want to play with people, because They had to stunt and wait for a few minutes, which for some people was impossible and they didn't realise anyway that they moved after 3 sec. Things that you wouldn't recognised if you don't have to draw them, especially for teens and children I found it's quite impossible. Because they grew up with a handy camera, internet. 
Everything drive so fast. And almost in daily life we don't have  to wait for some....

I did this for 3 days, each day about 4-6h and the last day was with a Kunst im Hinterhof.  What I found interesting is, each day had a definitely different target group.  one day for children, another day for family and weekend for a couple. 
This time was "Pay what you want" (auf Spendenbasis).

I'm still looking  for a nice event, collabs project  with my photo machine.  
If you're interesting please contact me per Mail [email protected] I'm happy to hear that!
