Maisriml didn't come to drawing he has been doing that all along. First cartoons in student newspapers were distributed, yet forming his style were posters and flyers for heavy-metal bands: insectlike women, dragons, aliens.

From 1995 on series 1 - 3 were created. Airbrush on cardboard. Since airbrush offered little possibilities for corrections Maisriml even sketched those before with Artpad on his pc. From 1998 on he let go of airbrushing and created them as a whole on his computer.
