Also, hello, all you new peeps! 👋 I'm Lucy, I illustrate cool animals and plants and history and dead things and have a bit of a morbid curiosity 👁💀👁
I sometimes mix German & English and I have an etsy shop now that I'll keep adding all my lino prints etc to: www.etsy.com/de-en/shop/C...
A natural science poster, upright format, made to look old-fashioned. The background is light brown, slightly darker towards the edges. The title at the top says „Pinguine / Penguins“ and in small, handwritten phonetic spelling beside that „pengwings“. The penguins take up most of the space and are contained within a thin frame. They are all painted as naturalistic studies with gouache and pencils, all in fabulous poses. They are puzzled together as fit, but roughly from top left to bottom right: gentoo penguin, adélie penguin, chinstrap penguin, emperor penguin, macaroni penguin, erect-crested penguin, royal penguin, northern rockhopper penguin, king penguin, fiordland penguin, snares penguin, magellanic penguin, Pingu, african penguin, yellow-eyed penguin, australian little penguin, little penguin, southern rockhopper penguin, galápagos penguin, humboldt penguin. Each has a number beside it corresponding to a number in the legend below, stating their Latin, German & English names. Kartendesign, Aufbau wie französische Skatkarte, Design angelehnt an Kreuzdame. Schwarze und rote Tinte auf weißem Grund. Kartensymbol schematische Darstellung Pestbakterium. Dame hat Totenkopf statt üblichem Gesicht und schwarze Flecken am Hals, außerdem eine Ratte in der erhobenen Hand und auf der linken Schulter. A square gouache painting on white background: A grey virus with blue and red surface proteins is holding a grappling hook and wearing a black hat with a white skull on front. A bunch of dancing skeletons in three rows in front of a grey ink background. Each skeleton is showing different symptoms like tummy ache, worms, fungal growth or itching. The rows are divided by slim white bands with black silhouettes of different pathogens.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.
A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a yellow warbler says "Hey so I'm going to go out on a limb here." In panels two through five, the warbler hops along a long branch against a blue sky with clouds. In panel 6, it stops at the end of the branch and sings.

Wherever I’m With You (Putnam 2027), a co-created graphic novel by Suzanne Samin and me, follows two former best friends from the Bronx: Aran, a Syrian American teen, grappling with his mother’s death,
and Tao, a college basketball star, who have to face life and old feelings once Tao moves back.
Digital art of Aran and Tao as younger teens, sitting at the curb in front of a local basketball court. It’s a warm early summer evening, behind them the sky slowly turns orange and purple and at the basketball court two guys are playing, a subway on high track trails is passing and there’s some nyc buildings and skyline Aran and Tao after the timeskip, now 19/20 years old, older and taller, sitting at an electricity box in front of a basketball court. It’s a warm summer day and the colors are warm with lots of yellow and orange and red Aran and Tao as young adults late at night at a bodega where Aran has his late night shift. Aran sits behind the counter while Tao sits on the counter and they are solving a crossword puzzle together. They are surrounded by bodega items and clutter. The view is a top view looking down in both, like from a security camera. Aran and Tao as young adults at a laundromat late at night. Aran puts some clothes into a dryer, while Tao behind him leans at one of the folding tables and chats with Aran. Both are smiling and are in a casual and good mood. The colors are a bit cooler with some neon lights.

Photograph of two brown cards with naturalistic drawings on them. Both cards have a bird in the centre painted with Gouache and detailed with pencils. One card shows a Great Spotted Kiwi walking towards the camera and looking away to the side. The other card shows a Kakapo, walking towards the left with its head tilted towards the camera.

What might be my favourite fossil has been just published by Kiat et al. 2025. Years ago I saw a pic of this Anchiornis specimen in nat geo article and I audibly gasped.preserving not only the feathers but also the original patterns as well. I made this drawing on the spot. Maybe its time to do v2.0

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

I miss Ireland
pftompkins.bsky.social Paul F. Tompkins @pftompkins.bsky.social · 14d
I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

I'm looking for comics/graphic novels suitable for 12 year olds with easy English (she's learning and not very fond of it). She's sporty and outdoorsy and into crafts. Anyone got any ideas?

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling!

It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer.

This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop!

Artists! Drop your shop links!
