I started to design some birthday cards for my entomology colleagues this year; sometimes, I asked if a birthday was coming up soon, and other times I got asked if I could make a card. I really enjoyed this Sagra femorata here because of the metallic surface, which is always a pleasure to color!

I am waiting for the battery of my camera to charge so I can continue filming another making-of. I could be finished by now, but here we are 🫠😅 sounds like the beginning of a late night art session

Some weekend spring drawings. My favorite is the little rabbit; it's cute and a bit sus at the same time 😂

My colleagues asked if I could create something as a little present for another colleague who's retiring soon. I realized I didn't paint a lot of mammals for a while with all these invertebrates around me 😅

What's window art in the lab is post-it art at the museum. Whenever I find an interesting insect species, I sketch it on these little sheets of paper. I only use pens here, so I don't spend too much time as there are more species than I could count. Once finished, I put them on the doorframe /1

A firebird found its way into the lab today; with the construction work in the background, it could also be a phoenix at this point.

I decided to do a fully entomology inspired inktober challenge this year. Let's see if I can manage through all the days, but maybe I will take some rest days, maybe not. After all, it's a little adventure to me and just for fun. Day 1 shows a bombardier beetle

My fellow students asked me during our study trip through the alpes if I could design a t-shirt print as a thank-you gift for our field guide, and of course I said yes 😁 On the left side the white hellebore, a poisonous plant, and on the right the yellow gentian (edible)
