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.

I'm working on a little comic/explanation thingy about breast reduction surgery and two new lino prints with whales on them! And then we're working on some holiday plans for going away a bit longer and further 👀

Photograph of a square risograph print of a frog chilling in a field of blue flowers. The frog is sitting down with his arms holding his legs, he looks very calm with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. The print is rested on a small standee that is standing in a field of grass.

Photograph of a stickerbook with the title "critterbook" showing a frog laying down with his arms behind his head on a blanket surrounded by bugs and butterflies. The main colour of the book is a yellowish green. The book is rested on a blue crate with pens in it standing in a field of grass.

Photograph of a stickersheet. The stickers are puffy so a bit 3D and show a variety of small rain themed icons: A good weather ghost, a worm, a frog dreaming of the mountains, the word "rain", an umbrella shaped like a frog, some red hydrangea, some lightning, a rainbow ending in two clouds, sun coming through the clouds, a puddle showing the reflection of a frog, a smiling sun, a red flower, a blue cat in a yellow rain hat, another flower, the wind (just swirly lines), a frog looking surprised at a rain drop, a sprout, a leaf, the words "pitter patter", a frog hand reaching towards dew on a leaf with the word "plop", a cloud with rain boots smiling and a frog in a raincoat. The background ist a purple-white gingham.

I went last year but only for a day. It was interesting and fun but nothing much came of it apart from me being motivated for like a month 😅

A warrior ceremony in ancient Crete

We know so little about religious rituals in Minoan culture that I can't tell you what is happening here. But we can assume that war also played a role in them. Here my task was to imagine what it could've looked like if you were there.

Client: Board & Dice

Ancient Minoan warrior kneeling in front of a woman whose face we don't see. He's bowing his head and ceremoniously handing her a gilded battle axe. She is dressed like royalty and wears jewelry, he's decked out in his battle armor. In the background, soldiers with leather shields and spears stand in a row.

Have you been to the Charité Museum yet? Can recommend! (And would personally and according to my superficial knowledge prefer their approach to bodyworlds)
