sputnic are three visual artists: Malte Jehmlich, Nicolai Skopalik and Nils Voges. We founded our studio in 2004. Together we graduated 2007 at the Hochschule Niederrhein in Krefeld, Germany. Our work is set in the field between animation, design, illustration, theater and art. The love to detail and the richness of ideas define our projects and the mixture of analogue and digital techniques creates our unique and surprising imagery.
