I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for the past few days, and every time I discover another phrase that blows me away…

I'm also reading his book “On Connection” right now, and just in awe of how some people are soooo good with words!

I got bullied by a hooded crow! 🥺 It was picking on my balcony plants, saw that I was watching, and decided to slowly pull out a smaller plant from one of the planters and drop it from the fourth floor into the street. I must have made a very astonished face, because I swear it looked quite […]

I started this sketchbook 3 months ago. And this morning, it was full!

It contains a wild compilation of journal entries, studies, color swatches, drawings from old sketchbooks… When I started this, I was sure that it will just end up like many of my other […]

My neighbor’s baby had an epic meltdown last night at 2 AM and woke up the entire building.

After maybe just four hours of sleep, I put an outfit together this morning that makes me look like an Italian flag! 🇮🇹

2) Sept 19, in-person in Berlin-Kreuzberg: We’re doing a […]

One thing that the current exorbitant investments in "AI" show is that the investor class and big tech corporations do not pay enough taxes: If you have billions to set on fire for spicy autocomplete we should take some or all of those to do something useful with.

I lived in Wedding, #berlin for 6 years and always ignored the Bayer AG buildings, because I found then incredibly ugly! Today, while biking to a client's office and taking some photos along the way, I was surprised by how colorful the windows of this giant […]

One day, when human software developers have been entirely replaced by AI agents, I’ll open a little shop and offer artisanlly handcrafted code snippets, screen printed and framed beautifully… for our new robot overlord to purchase and decorate their walls.

I've been taking analog photos with the KODAK EKTAR H35 Half Frame Camera for more than 2 years now, and because the photo labs aren't good with scanning half frame negatives, I started to scan them at home with a super cheap and amateurish setup […]

I have a group of female friends that I regularly meet for dinners, where we discuss serious and (mostly) not-so-serious things. We call ourselves the “Hotpot Philosophers”. Recently, while planning the dinner to celebrate the Lunar New Year, I got the suggestion to draw a comic about us…
