Just my first mushroom photo of the season 🍄

The three random colour cards of the day, freshly picked 🍃🍂🍁

Hand holding three colourful autumn leaves in yellow-green, red and orange against a grey gravel background. There is a tattoo visible on the wrist and a dot of black nail polish on the thumb.

I made this mini zine in just under an hour, with a few materials I had on hand and an inspiration in my head.
I absolutely adore how it came out, and how it reminds me to be kind to myself, especially when it comes to art making.
Have you ever made a (mini) zine?

My heart is filled with bittersweet sadness and admiration for the end of a life truly well-lived.

Rest in Power, Jane Goodall.

Thank you for embodying the best of humanity. Your imprint on the planet and its creatures is indelible.

It's sickening - especially as an autistic scientist - how these eugenic rhetorics are affecting people worldwide, not only in the US!
To me, making art makes this world a bit more bearable, so I have this little leaf for you, and to celebrate the start of autumn here in northern Europe. Take care 🍁

Thank you, great to hear ☺️

Yes, the lockdown made me aware, and then the virus broke my body.

New week, new colours! This time with sound because mixing the cards is oddly soothing. The colours do match something autumnal, don't you think?

But then not so much anymore (let me tell you about unfinished projects…)

Unfinished drawing of the same okapi, that looks like a mix between a zebra from the back with a head like a giraffe (without the long neck), which it is actually closer related to

I made this coloured pencil drawing of an okapi around 2003, when I had started studying biology and still some time for art…

Being neurodivergent with multiple chronic illnesses made me think of this saying - but not even feeling like a zebra. But what then? ➡️

Ffs, so obvious, even the text sounds AI to me.

Sorry, it's a day late because a wasp bumped into me and got stuck - luckily we both survived :)

Random colours for this week! I'm really enjoying this, so I'll keep doing it :)
