Chris Twellmann, aka The German Abraham, born in 1968 and raised in Germany is a professional “Abraham Ford” lookalike, designer and artist. He has lived in the US since December 2016 and started cosplaying as Abraham in Germany in fall 2015 after someone posted pictures of him and Michael Cudlitz in one of the largest Facebook TWD fan pages in Germany. These photos went viral and “German Abraham” was born.

As a veteran himself, Chris loves to show his appreciation for the US military and first responders. This has led him to his first paintings of military scenes as a Memorial Day painting. During the first weeks of the defund-the-police movement, he painted “The Unknown Praying Cop”. Every active duty and retired Police Officer received a free print in his shop. He did the same for first responders and active-duty military members or Veterans. From then until May 2024, Chris handed out over 2,000 prints of art from his shop, and has also donated hundreds of prints and canvases to veteran organizations for raffles or auctions. His “Praying Cop” is displayed now in about 10 police departments across the US.
