The project DIY Stuff are all images that were non commercial contributions to self-organized diy projects in Hamburg. Philipp Lemm, an illustrator from Hamburg, Germany likes to make these drawings as a contribution and to give back to a scene that he cherishes. He likes the idea of being able to add to an esthetic that has had an enourmes impact on himself and has shaped the way he sees and draw things. Let us take a look at his designs and enjoy!

The ideas for the images in DIY Stuff are either related to the context of the event that it is made for, for example the lung on the poster for the loss of breath fest, or are taken from my sketchbooks. Sometimes when I draw a blank on new ideas, I go through my sketchbooks to see if I find an earlier idea I have had that I see fit for the cause.

About Philipp Lemm

Philipp Lemm is an illustrator from Hamburg, Germany. After studying graphic design for seven semesters in Duesseldorf, he realized that he wanted to focus entirely on drawing. He transferred to Hamburg where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration in 2014. He take his inspiration from subculture. What his work has always centered around is his love for line work in rich black ink. His earliest influence were his dad's underground comics, then came Jim Phillips, Pushead, Norman Kieth Collins and so on, and that now mixes with all the great work he has seen during his past years at art-school. He is currently freelancing as an illustrator and graphic designer and working on his MA-project. You can find more of his works on his Behance profile or website.
