Those little side gigs, where the designer has 100% freedom and in the end everyone is happy - my dose of escapism 💙💜💙💜💙💜
A poster for a theatre play "Cinderella". On a white background there is black text with information about the play. Underneath is an illustration in blue tones and white lines. A fairy with an abstract patterned dress floats above a girl who is crouching on the floor and looking up at the fairy. The fairy has a magic wand in her hand from which a pink glow emanates.

Sketchbook stuff. This happens when an artist has to sit still in an anatomy class🥸 Somehow I see huge wall hangings with these beauties sewn on them. #sketchbook #scribbling #floral #bones #gothic
An open sketchbook laying on a rug. On each side as a drawing of a flower, in a slightly abstract and geometric style. On the left side: a pink tulip. Ono the right side: a thistle, maybe. Photo of the right side of a sketchbook, with a bone-like torso drawn on a dark pink background.

New picture on our garage door. Because I also need a bit of night during the day too. ✨ #mural #birds #illustration #folkart #folkartbirds #fullmoon
Garage door on a old building with red bricks. The door is painted dark blue, with white drawings of two hawks at night, drawn in an abstract, folk art style.

So many new followers - a good moment to introduce myself again: Hi! I am an illustrator and designer based in Germany. I love bright colours combined with interesting textures and patterns. Recurring topics are nature, science, feminism, medicine. Check out www.dianaschackow.de for more.
Ein Foto einer Visitenkarte, platziert auf einem schön gemaserten Baustamm. Buntes Design, verschiedene Kacheln in Rot, Gelb, Petrol, mit Motiven darin: Jurte, Sonne, Netzstecker, Hände, Auge, Stift, Regenbogen. Außerdem der Hinweis auf eine Webseite: www.dianaschackow.de Eine Illustration einer überfluteten Flusslandschaft mit Wald darin, aus Vogelperspektive. Der Himmel ist leicht bewölkt, und spiegelt sich im Wasser des Flusses und der Tümpel. Im Vordergrund rechts oben fliegt ein dunkler Raubvogel. Die Farben Grün und Blau bestimmen das Bild.

Who is the alien?
Surrealistic portrait of a woman with light green skin and a lizard-like pattern on it. She wears a purple headscarf and her eyes look directly to the viewer.

Being in nature is part of recovery when the world turns upside down and news are too shrill to bear with. As long as I can get on my bike, as long as I can breathe in and out, hear the birds above me, not everything has fallen apart. Friendly reminder. #nature #biodiversity #landscape #mentalhealth

Scene from a little morning tour around the ponds. The herons and geese were good company. Something tells me I should try this again, with fabric or as a paper collage. Let's see... ;-) #lusatia #tausendteiche #biodiversity #oberlausitz

Hello Bluesky! Moving over from insta. As a starter, I post this old work of mine as I am reading "The autists" by Clara Törnvall. What an eye-opener! -- No idea about Ada Lovelace, but it wouldn't be that surprising... #unmasking
An illustration of Ada Lovelace against a dark green background. She is gracefully holding a fan and looking at the viewer. Her dress is depicted as a multidimensional diagram. There is a slight glow of light around her head.
