Free Run Artists
Ok, it’s true, Philipp was born somewhere in Bavaria, but we try not to hold it against him (too often…).He grew up in Berlin though and spent a few years in Scotland before moving to Frankfurt a.M..
During his career he has encountered all types of topics, people and media that one could think of. Hired by top-models and truck drivers, having fine art exhibitions, publishing comics or illustrating CD covers, Philipp developed a varied yet distinctive style. He has been busy drawing, painting, sculpting and taking loads of pictures all his life.
He loves to design CD-covers and has done an especially nice one in 2005 (namely ours!) “The Spider in Charlie’s box” that comes with a full comic book.
You may notice that he inserts pictures into some of his drawings/paintings what makes for a complex collage. Take your time when looking at those to savour the Da Vinci code effect.
Some of his publications include:
“Prince Charming” – (U.S.; Caleb Monroe, Cryptic Magazine) “Carnivore Adore” – (U.S.; Carnopolis) “Winter War” – (U.S. ; Kurt Belcher, SPX) “Runes of Ragnan” – (U.S.; Ty Gorton, Shadowline/Image) “Scorn” – (CAN-U.S.; Kevin Moyers, Septagon Studios) “Wir hatten ein gutes Leben” – (GER; Südost-Gallerie) “Trench Coats, Cigarettes & Shotguns” – (U.S.; Chuck Brown, 803 Studios) “Ich hab die Unschuld Kotzen sehen” – (GER; Unsichtbar Verlag) “DCLXVI – Christmas Tale” – (GER; INKplosion) “DCLXVI – Action” – (RenderWRX Productions)

Dirk Bernemann prügelt sich in einer Schreibhaltung zwischen Bertolt Brecht, Franz Kafka und Wilhelm Busch acht Strophen lang durch den sozialkritischsten seiner Texte, während Philipp S. Neundorf Bilderfolgen summen lässt, die den Text nicht nur untermalen, sondern ein ganz eigenes farbenreiches Universum erschaffen. Zusammen ist es den beiden gelungen, den Kinderbuchklassiker Max und Moritz moralingetränkt zu modernisieren. Max und Murat sind überall!!! Warum ist Spaß nur für Kids mit Moneten? Warum muss der pöbel nach unten treten? Wie es aus beiden Mündern grollt: „Unsere armut haben wir nicht gewollt!“
With powerful illustrations provided by Philipp Neundorf and the fine design of Philip Defina (Septagon Art Director/V.P), each issue of Scorn is carefully crafted to be a unique comic experience. Scorn is printed on 100 Lb interior gloss, rarely used in comic books. This choice, made for quality’s sake, ensures that the printed reproduction of Scorn as an artwork can be appreciated as completely as possible.
