Today I would like to introduce you to Small Lebowsky, an austrian artist who became a living legend with a cult following on german speaking reddit communities. Especially the biggest german meme community r/ich_iel loves him for posting a new frog drawing every wednesday, always titled “Es ist Mittwoch meine Kerle” - “It’s Wednesday my dudes”, which he kept up for several years if I’m correct. Some time ago he stopped the traditional Wednesday frog posts on reddit and took a break, to soon after resurface on lemmy/mastodon.

His style is characterized by clear lines and is strongly influenced by manga, anime and Japanese pop-culture, as well as western fantasy and science fiction. His drawings are usually stuffed with -more or less insider- references and easter eggs for the viewer to find.

Check out his work here:

      lol is that Trogdor?

      Damn… I kinda remember him from ~20 years ago, as part of Strongbad / Homestar. There was even a little flash game where you’d burn villages and do other Trogdor things.

      As a big flash games preserver, I’ll have to double-check that game’s archived.
