Illustrating a new series called the #mentalhealthzoo Opted for ink on watercolor paper look as I used to draw a lot with an old school tip, Scriptol Ink and actual watercolor paper. Now I achieve the same look digitally and I love it. Back to the roots! #illustration #editorialillustration

The red bird of paradise live in Indonesia. Here they are displaying their famous mating dance to entice females.

Heute Abend waren wir in Igelsberg im Schwarzwald bei einer Bücherlesung - Hannah Häffner hat Ihren Roman Die Riesinnen vorgestellt und abgelesen, super spannend, bin gespannt auf mehr. War toll.

Went to a reading tonight, author Hannah Häffner read her new novel Die Riesinnen, which was super successful this year - nice reading and nice to see her in person as well!

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Since this is a trend on instagram right now I thought why not share here 😉 in my work I focus mainly on illustration with a huge passion, but I did get to create a few brands here and there so here's some black only versions of them

This was so nice to work on and redo. The original was drawn a few years ago, and I have developed my style and eye since. I prefer playing with texture and muxing watercolor and texture brushes with an otherwise minimalistic coloring style, as a contrast I like to look at in other artists as well.

Redoing old illustrations for style and editorial purposes and seeing if I can get the same style results as raster drawings in Procreate(left) or as vector Illustration in Fresco (right wip). Using the same color palette and style, as well as texture but keep outlines and color/shading vector.

compassion and kindness will solve it

A wise Norwegian once said…

Sometimes I think we should find a new planet and take only all the people with exceptional compassion and emotional intelligence to start a new civilisation but then I think they would feel so bad to leave everyone else behind to destroy themselves they wouldn't get themselves to actually do it

A concept on how we grow together - when we stop competing and start nurturing each other instead. The idea that real connection means letting the other one flourish. The idea that nurturing another leaves NO one starving if everyone cares about nurturing others.

Visualizing the nature of givers, maybe people pleasers - not necessarily the same - and the cost of giving too much of yourself. #illustration

Working on a kids illustration for blackforest-artworks.com 😊

The walk to the Tor. Taken this morning in Glastonbury. Golden clouds and hints of blue.

it's the not-eating-much part of dieting that I always find the most difficult

All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.

When pirates use LLMs do they create aye aye slop?

I used to really adore working with all things Adobe but everything is so slow nowadays while in Affinity I do the same work faster because I am not constantly waiting for something. My hardware isn't really the issue, I've just been noticing it more and more. #designers

Happy international women's day everyone 🌞

Ich habe Carson's Kurs auf Masterclass angeschaut und war absolut hin und weg. Nicht nur seine Arbeit und Arbeitsweise, auch seine Sicht und Einstellung, Herangehensweise und Prozess dabei, seine Arbeit zu kommunizieren haben mich beeindruckt. Outside the box, auf ganz eigene Art. Liebe ich.

It's 6:50am. I just saw a post claim that Europe is the only continent that has no frogs and i am done with the internet for today

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Just done the washing up. If I don’t get given an award for this I’m invading Greenland.

Happy new year everyone!! May the year bring you all the best life has to offer 💕🕯️🥂🎉💃

This is me. I found my soulmate. Let's not meet or meet and eat candy in silence

I just finished listening to this. It's more than fascinating and completedly shifted my view and understanding of sociopaths and the prejudice I had in mind before. She writes very vividly and the way she delves into personality is fascinating. I am curious to hear others opinions on it too!

Really appreciate the first signer and the woman hoping for abundance for anyone. As for the guy saying it should be up to the individual parents, I feel like it's rich to want to force people to have a child they may not be able to provide for, and then hold them accountable for the consequences

Very good day at the Frankfurt Book Fair #fbm2025. Tomorrow will be my last day, today professionally, tomorrow privately. Lots of great conversations and new connections. Really determined now to become a member of the IO and looking forward to next year!

Some pages from my #kidlit portfolio for the #fbm2025 😊 Off to bed now so i can get up and prep early tomorrow! I'm excited - first time #Frankfurtbookfair!! Will any of you be there?

All prepped and ready for the book fair in Frankfurt #fbm25 😊 Freue mich total und bin super gespannt was nich so erwartet! Let's go ✨

I would have loved to play this

Y'know, when people have asked me about my dream game, I've always said a runaway slave + Underground Railroad project or something set in or around the Haitian Revolution. Someone somewhere is already taking this on and infusing the work with all the courage that the subject matter deserves.

„Ich hab kein Bock mehr! Nein. Einfach Nein! Jeden Tag zig Horrormeldungen. Ich les jetzt einfach keine Nachrichten mehr. Sollen die doch alle machen, was sie wollen! Mir egal!“ „Du bist Journalistin…“ „Ach verdammt…“

One of the most complex scenes i have ever drawn! I focus so much on single / 2-people scenes usually, but this was so much fun

Language question: I'm a German Illustrator mostly speaking English to connect worldwide with my main clientele being in Germany ao I often feel torn and sometimes just want to post something in German as well. Does it throw you off when an account posts in multiple languages or is it fine? Curious!

Lucky wife 😁😍

Starting off the week brushing up my portfolio for the Frankfurt bookfair with some of my proudest, and some very new works I am still finishing. Super exited, it'll be my first time in Frankfurt and I am looking forward to all the impressions and hopefully making some friends among peers 😊 #kidlit
