Andreas Hykade (born 1968 in Altötting, Bavaria) is a German animator, cartoonist, and voice actor.
Sometimes, like in the two music videos for Gigi D'Agostino, there's just a line over a flat color, much like the classical La Linea-character of Osvaldo Cavandoli (to which they are a loving homage).
Often his characters feature single strokes as arms and legs, in this Hykade is similar to German comic artist OL [de], or the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books by Jeff Kinney.
"Ring of Fire" won countless awards including the Grand Price at the Ottawa Animation Festival.
In 1995, Hykade, along with Gil Alkabetz and Film Bilder, were commissioned to do a series of network ID's and commercials for Nickelodeon UK.
