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 miss Ireland
pftompkins.bsky.social Paul F. Tompkins @pftompkins.bsky.social · 1d
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!

& check out SquidFacts.net 😘

I wasn't going to share this in WIP form..but I know the colouring will be a challenge for me.
We watched @realgdt.bsky.social's magnificent Frankenstein film this weekend and it was beautiful 💚 Something made me need to draw The Monster in Art Nouveau style.

If you see this post your bird art!

Never paid much attention to birds (except penguins, they were always the exception) but @peacorn.bsky.social really opened my eyes to their big beautiful world 🥹

Today was insect day at my drawing workshop at the museum 🦋🐡
Photograph across some insect display cases at a museum. An open sketchbook lies on one of the flat cases with a couple of markers lying next to it. There's a marker drawing of Acherontia atropos (African death's-head hawkmoth) on it in naturalistic colours. The reference for that drawing is mounted in the upright display case above it. #SciArt

Time to print some christmas cards!
cyluho.bsky.social Lucy @cyluho.bsky.social · 9d
Falalalafuck right off over to my Etsy shop: cyluhoprints.etsy.com/listing/1820...

While I'm working on this year's Christmas card, I've made all previous designs available again 🌲
Photograph of three small uncarved lino plates being prepared. They all have black ink drawings on them. One has the green parts of a Christmas wreath, on has a bow and some berries for the red parts and one just says "falalalala" in mirrored writing. The wreath is a reference to the evil one in A Nightmare Before Christmas. A collection of linoprinted Christmas cards sitting in a green velvet chair with some fairy lights and gold and white Christmas ornaments. The card on top is in portrait format and printed blue on brown. It shows a seagull with a Christmas hat holding a Christmas tree branch in her beak. A bauble is hanging from the branch saying "Happy Christmas. The card to the left ist printed black on white in landscape format. It shows a frog, a pig (from behind), a Penguin and a snowman ice skating in a circle in front of the night sky. The design is inspired by those victorian Christmas cards. The Penguin has a beak like Pingu and a band of cursive writing is coming from it saying "feels like christmas". The card in the middle is printed black on white and portrait format. It shows schematic flu viruses floating like snow. The center piece is a larger, more detailed one wearing a Christmas hat colourised with red water colours. Underneath it says "Happy Flu Season!" The card to the right is landscape format and printed black on brown. Its style is again a reference to those victorian Christmas cards. It shows the head of a goat in profile, wearing a Christmas hat and sticking out a very long, devilish forked tongue towards a snowman. The snowman is either very pleased or scared, he's wearing a little round hat and striped scarf. Underneath in white it says "Merry Bah bah bah".
