Konstantinos Koufogiorgos

Kostas Koufogiorgos is a professional cartoonist based in Germany. Born in Greece in 1972, he studied economics in Athens and has published his work in newspapers, magazines, books and websites in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Greece. He also works with photographs and creates comics in his spare time. Most of his paintings are made on canvas prepared with a traditional handmade chalk ground, except for the car paintings.
About the atelier: It used to be the old baths for the workers of the German railways. Two of the original bathtubs are still there. I share it with my wife, who is a conservator-restorer of canvas and sculptures.

I studied economics but was working directly after the final school examination in 1989 as a cartoonist for political, economical- and sports newspapers, for advertising and as a book illustrator. As a cartoonist and a painter I am an autodidact.I have published my work in Germany, Greece,Switzerland, Luxemburg and Austria.
