Thilo Krapp
Hi! I’m Thilo Krapp and I plant knowledge through stories and pictures.
I write and draw non-fiction books (with a focus on architecture), illustrate children’s books (age 6+) and adapt classics of world literature into comics. Fast and entertaining knowledge transfer – I love it. Whether through connection with a narrative plot (as in my Émile books) or as a clearly illustrated scientific text.
The past is the basis of the present – hence my interest in history, which is often reflected in architecture and historical objects.
As a volunteer, I am passionately involved as member of the board in the German Illustrators Organization (IO).
In my free time I build a dollhouse based on a villa from 1902, which I don’t grow tired to nerd about whenever I can.
