Bildungskoffer-Illustration

Illustration of a woman of colour with glasses and cyclist outfit sitting at an outside table of a cafe looking at her smartphone. There's an apple, a laptop, a coffee and a sandwich on the table, a racing bike is leaning against it.

Friends! I can finally show some money work! ✨

I did a bunch of illustration and layout work earlier this year for the GDP, this one was about water use in the production of everyday objects and food:

Antifa-Ghost prints! 👻

Two prints on a wooden floor surrounded by pens, flowers, a wooden bird etc. The print shows a ghost at night in a cemetery reading of a book with the anarchism and anarchy symbols to their friends: a flaming skull, a cat and a pumpkin.

Art-friends! 🖼️

Did some prints recently and I have two of these beauties waiting for a nice home!

Miaow, #cat friends! 😽 Here’s an illustration of a #Scottish #wildcat I did years ago for the Scottish Wildcat Association. Still like the style a lot, would probably push to make this even more angular and abstract today (reminds me of owendavey.com even though this was way before I knew of him).

Giant Birds Destroying Cars

Illustration of a stylised flying robin carrying an upside-down car in it's claws. A door and a tire are falling off the car. Written next to it is: „They ruin towns and countryside, so“ in small letters and „Destroy Cars!“ in giant letters.

Cover of my zine „Blackbird tidies up“ with another giant blackbird holding a car in their beak.

Illustration of a giant blackbird with a car in their beak that is standing on a mountain of burning cars. Underneath it is written „The War On Cars“ in giant letters, like a classic creature feature movie.

I seem to be stuck this motive of giant birds (love me some #birbs 🐦‍) destroying cars (grown to despise cars over the last years 💨) ^__^

Halloween Ghost

Vector illustration of a cute ghost at night reading from a book (that has the anarchy and antifa signs on it) to their friends. The friends are a flaming skull, a cat and a pumpkin. There's also a candle and a glass bottle with green fluid in it. Beneath the picture is written „In a cruel world, be radically compassionate.“

Happy #Halloween, dear Fediversians! 🎃 🦇💀

Be like this cute ghost and build communities!

„Sphinx of Black Quartz“ (2019)

Black and white illustration of two hands of a statue beneath a hovering crystal. The hands of the statue are cut / broken-off at the arms, two parts of the fingers are just falling of. Above it „Sphinx of Black Quartz judge my vow“ is written.

I’m torn between still liking this a whole lot and wanting to redo basically everything (typography, hands, placement of crystal) ^__^

Illustration – Sphinx of Black Quartz

I feel like thematic and atmosphere this is very similar to my recent „Song of Sirius“ ( https://jfml.eu/2025/08/illustration-song-of-sirius/ )

#PortfolioDay 10-2025

A photo of the printed English and German editions, the cover showing the two main characters in front of a city in a valley. They're standing (on the shore?) of a lake. There's a shadowy creature instead of the reflection of one of the main characters in the water.

Vector drawing in dark greens and blues of a night-scene with a highland cow on a small peninsular. The cow's reflection in the water reflects the milky way in the sky above. There's a crow sittig on the cow's back but in the reflection it is somehow in flight.

Photo of a riso-printed mini folding zine in bright pink and blue called „Blackbird Tidies Up!“, showing a giant blackbird with a car in it's beak. There's the inside of the poster next to it, showing blackbird with the Monopoly guy in it's beak.

Happy #PortfolioDay, fellow creatives and art lovers! 🤘

I’m a German illustrator and designer in #Scotland, enjoying everything from flyers and business cards to 3D animation and book layouts. Also been dabbling in #GameDev with #Godot recently.

I’m using #Inkscape, #Krita, #Blender, #Scribus and other tools on #Linux for my work.

GhostGame!

Throwback to when I tried making a 2d mobile #game with #Godot and promptly abandoned the project once I had (awful) character movement and (non-auto) tiling working.

If anyone with #programming skills wants to make a game together, pls contact me ^__^

Colobee 25 is a wrap! 🎉

Photo of a table that is bursting with postcards and stickers (I had too much stuff ^__^).

Same table as before but with me sitting behind it (face obscured with a fox emoji by Openmojo, thanks to creepy internet ai trawlers and other bs). In the wall with build-in shelves with a paper fox on the one (belonging our partner in crime, Nika Novich).

Photo of a living room with a sofa and a easel next to it with framed artworks on both of them as well as the walls. There is a small table with prints in sleeves, another one with books, comics and zines and a bar chair with a small laptop and gamepad running a video game.

Same scene as before with the sofa but a child is playing the game and an adult is looking through the prints ^__^

Colobee25 was such a blast again! 🤯 Thanks to everyone who came over and had a look at/bought my art and „played“ my „game”*, I really didn’t expect people being so interested in it!

Also thanks to Kat and the other organisers for all their hard work! 💖

* see „Utopia, Still“ on my Portfolio.
