Matthias Schäfer

Matt Schäfer, also known as Matthias Schäfer, was born in 1970 in Kaufbeuren in the Allgäu region and has lived in Munich since 1994. He has been drawing comics since early childhood. The first drawings of his character “Captn Crazy” were created in 1993. Hugo the Rat soon followed, and over the years other quirky characters such as “Super-Nerd” and “Grobi” were added. His work has been published in U-Comix, Graphica, and other magazines and publications. Matt Schäfer also specializes in traditional animation and studied for a time under Disney veteran Greg Manwaring. Among other things, Matt Schäfer created the 2D animation for the logo of the 2nd Munich Animation Festival. Matt has been planning a film featuring Captn Crazy for years, but needs help because he can’t do it alone.
