Today, February 16, is the day that Harald Siepermann passed away. It’s been 10 years now without Harald, and it remains a tragic to lose such a kind man and incredibly talented character designer at such a young age.
Thoughts go out to Harald’s family and friends who miss their father, husband, brother, uncle, friend, and even grandfather now, as Harald’s daughter became a mother herself on June 16, 2022, from a daughter Ava Liona.
I was a student of Harald at the Animation School Hamburg. I will never forget his lesson: “You are all story artist, so learn to read and to write storys, thats make your drawings communicate the script.”
