Happy Friday, you lovelies! If you're like me, in denial of summer and pretending it's autumn ... this sketch, which I call "Portrait of a Black Cat" is for you. Have a lovely and spooky weekend! 🐈⬛

Good morning, mastodonians! Here's a Friday illustration for you <3
Hi you wonderful people! My new book "Baroness Spookiness - A Story of Small Scares" just hit the shelves today (in both EN and GER), and I'm super excited to show some pictures here, because the cover has glow in the dark elements 
Also, it's a spooky book for children, so it reminds me of autumn and HalloweeeEEEeeen ... which a non-summery-person might enjoy. 🎃 👻 💀
Anyway, here are the photos.

There's been so much going on these last months, that I need to get my thoughts in order, but there'll be a new Edtion of the Newsletter soon and some more creative workings. Also, book news :D (It's getting spooooky)
Now, I wish you all a great ... start of the week 🕸️ Hang in there!
Good evening, all! Here are some more black and white characters for you. But now: Lasagne!

Hello lovely people! I thought this one might be a good illustration for a day like this. Have a neat Sunday!
Oh hai allergy season! How I have missed not being able to open my eyes without it feeling like someone is rubbing salty sand all over my eyeballs.

@hamatti@mastodon.world Why thank you :D
Sometimes, I put on RainyMood on a sunny day, just because I like the sound of rain https://www.rainymood.com
And after a while, I forget that it's not raining.
