Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Anne, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Germany. I'm looking for work primarily in publishing, with artists, writers, musicians, and small businesses!

A digital illustration of five lotus flowers in the water. Digital illustration of Endres and Gou kissing in front of the fullmoon at night. Gou is floating in mid-air as though taken by a gust of wind, Endres holds Gou's face tenderly with his left hand while holding a paper lantern in his right. There are flower petals flying around them. Digital illustration of three different goldfish swimming through the water, framed by lily pads and willow leaves. Photo-mockup of a double LP album front and back cover next to each other. The front cover shows a 60s photo of a hippie man with flowers in his hair, and is cut off by a graphic rainbow band that runs across the cover horizontally at an angle. "Michael's Selection" is written boldly across the front with a rainbow line around the funky font. Underneath, smaller and written in a more simple serif font stands "GOOD VIBRATIONS". The rainbow band from the front continues to the back and makes a curve upards. the lower part shows a vintage photo of some weeds and in bold, funky font with a red outline is written "The 60s are back in a Double-Album!". On top of the rainbow band on off-white ground it reads "Featuring the legendary ..." and then lists several artists in a small font.

ok so thing is, I've been aware of death from fairly early childhood (my best kindergarten friend's mum had liver cancer and died when we were 4 or 5) and also quite enthusiastic about history, fairytales, and ancient egypt. (early elementary school i was still v scared of skeletons and mummies tho)

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

It’s been a really rough week handling the file release (and the world realizing the horrors that consumed my childhood), so I made a little time to decompress by painting some Islamic geometry and alhamdulillah I really needed it 🥲💜

A vibrant multi-toned pigment of blues and purples painting a star pattern of an Islamic geometry square. A pale hand holds a super thin paint brush in the top corner, as there’s still a lot left to paint!

Pre-orders for my "Divine Worm" keychains are now closed. Thank you so much for the support!

I'm happy to say that "Dulcet Observer" will have a few on-hand stock when orders go in (hopefully) March! Sadly the others did not have any pre-orders, but I'd like to open them back up in the future!

not my dad going "have you thought about using AI to be more productive as an illustrator" on me 💀

he luckily piped down when I said "people come to me for *my* style and not some AI slop" and he was like "ok yeah that makes sense"

A banner of two masculine characters leaning up against a birch tree. The one on the left is an Indigenous man wearing a vest covered in beadwork, and the one on the right has paler skin and orange hair, wearing a blue shirt with tassels on the chest. Both have soft expressions as they hold hands. Gold decorations frame the corners of the image, and the text "We've Always Been Here" takes over the right side in flowy, mock-gold text.

And our final artist intro, our cover artist, Nightgalen ( @nightgalen.bsky.social )! His beautiful wrap-around cover illustration will feature Indigenous Métis culture, with a gay couple sharing a private moment away from a festival. The official cover will be revealed very soon, so stay tuned!

ok one thing that I'm probably only realising just now is how I'm in a position thanks to the artist community that (non-art) friends sometimes show me prints of the real cool artist they found & have art on their wall of and I'm like. that is literally a mutual and we worked on zines together

What really cracked my egg was this post
Twitter post that reads “If you’re under the assumption that you’re a cis guy, but have always dreamed of being a girl and the only reason you haven’t transitioned is because you’re afraid you’ll be an ugly girl, that’s dysphoria. You’re literally a trans girl already, hon.”
