On this day, February 16, Harald Siepermann passed away at the young age of 50. It has been 11 years now without Harald’s incredible talent and it remains a true loss for the world of animation. Today thoughts go out to Harald’s family and friends.
The picture is from early 1989. Harald Siepermann and Hans Bacher had just wrapped up the character designs for the television series Alfred J. Kwak. Then it was time to create all the illustrations for the merchandise, because within a few months the first episode was ready to air in Japan.
