Born in Vienna in 1956, FREDI BRODMANN attended the Academy for Applied Arts and worked with Joey Badian. His talents for cartoons caught soon the attention of the editors of leading publications. A stay in New York left deep impressions on Fred. Back in Europe, he published his own cartoon book "They Always Come Down" about air travel (Stalling Editions). Other books followed and were very successful. Brodmann started to apply his cartoons to watches. Today "QB" and "WATCH-ME" are internationally sold trademarks. Established in 1987 in New York he founded Visual Visions Inc., Art, Fun & Function, in partnership with Lewis Lewitan. Alfred Brodmann is a very intense and talented designer with an amiable and outgoing personality. The sense of humor apparent in his entire work is always spontaneous, refreshingly funny and (almost) never nasty.
