A massive fleet of Chinese fishing vessels (more than 260!) is currently lighting up #Galapagos islands horizon, killing millions of protected sealife species for human consumption. My heart is bleeding as it's on the edge of a huge protection zone, on the migration route of many endangered species and home to the largest shark biomass in the whole world 🌎 . Please help by signing the petition (link in bio or down below) to increase pressure on the political leaders 💪 To learn more, follow @fishactorg, @globalfishingwatch and other amazing organizations or look at recent #sosgalapagos posts. .

I'm alive! 😬🎉 Long time no posting, I have been busy doing tons of things, for example visiting @potteria and making a clay leopard gecko 😄 Lea is sceptical still. But I think they will get along well 🐉 It felt difficult for me in the last weeks to be creative when I needed to be - so now I'm following my instincts and just do whatever I want to do at the exact same moment when the impulse hits. It's okay not to finish projects if you don't feel like finishing (or just feel like finishing because of other's expectations...) It's also okay to have many projects at the same time, and as a consequence all of them TAKING more time. It's your personal projects, there is no deadline 😊 The journay is the goal, not the finish line. It's so much more valuable to enjoy the way than to live in the future every moment, only to notice, that you missed the most important part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #leopardgeckos #pottery #potterylove #leopardgeckosofinstagram #leopardgeckomorph #potteryartist #potteryart #potteryanimal #potteryaddict #potterydesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1WtjtF4Wb/?igshid=1xic8o8xdovg7

Long time no see! ❤ I've been suuuper busy with tons of projects - one of them you can see here if you swipe left 😊 Since I couldn't find a good journal to use for all my leopard gecko data (weight development, when was the last day she ate etc.) I made one myself - you can download it in my Etsy shop (link in bio) and print it at home as often as you want 👍 I got soo many requests for more species like crested geckos and bearded dragons, so these days will be filled with reptiles 🐢🐍🐊🐉 Do you have a different species as a pet and would like to have a journal for it? Let me know in the comments! Always happy for new ideas 🤓 . . . . . . . . . . . #leopardgeckosofinstagram #beardeddragons #leopardgeckomorph #leopardgeckosofig #leopardgeckobreeder #leopardgeckos #beardiesofinstagram #beardeddragonsofinstagram #crestedgecko #crestedgeckos #crestedgeckosofinstagram #crestie #ballpython #ballpythonsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CB1OFFwlFd2/?igshid=1bm3ulj21q5pn

Yesterday @zoobical.design and me met up to work with clay 😍 I bought 5kg and we haven't even used a quarter of it - this will last forever 😂 Can you guess which species I made? Unfortunately it starts to crack already (and lost 2 toes, poor guy), probably I will need to find better quality clay in the future... but it was fun to try at least 😄😊 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #pottery #clay #potterylove #geckoart #geckoartwork #geckosofinstagram #leopardgecko #leopardgeckosofinstagram #leopardgeckos #leopardgeckosofig #leopardgeckobreeder #leopardgeckomorph (hier: Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAyOEmdlgRq/?igshid=1wywgwjth9nl2

Carpenter bee, painted with @zvezdicaperlica 's beautiful shimmering blue and red (ad/free sample) - swipe left to see it glow in the light 😍 More paintings with her handmade watercolors will follow soon, I'm sure 😊 If you want to support a small business owner and like to paint, @zvezdicaperlica would be happy to take your order, she also ships to other countries! We have more and more of these bees in Vienna now already (probably thanks to climate change?) I remember seeing tons of them on lavender in southern France, the air was vibrating with their humming sound and their wings were sparkling in the sun. They are so beautiful ❤🐝🐝🐝 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #carpenterbee #holzbiene #bluebee #beesofinstagram #instabee #beeconservation #beekeeping #beeart #beeartwork #insectos #insectsofinstagram #insectlove #beelove #artistsofinstagram #insectillustration #insectartwork (hier: Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvr6xFl_Ur/?igshid=1sjm84zp30ctu

Today me and a friend went out to photograph (and talk, hehe) all day. And in the evening we found wild hamsters!! I've never seen one until now... it was such an amazing experience 😍 Have you ever seen a wild hamster before? 🐹 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wildlifephotography #hamstergram #hamster #hamstersofinstagram #feldhamster #europeanhamster #commonhamster (hier: Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdzhMHATio/?igshid=1wmwnlewc1t8d

It's a photo this time! 😃 I took this picture on Santiago, on the Galapagos islands last year. I believe it's a “Santiago Racer“ - it was so so beautiful and not scared at all (oh how I love Galapagos wildlife 😍) It's been over a year now since I spent my 10 week internship on the islands. Time goes by soo fast! And who would have guessed we'd be in quarantine one year later? Surely people would have acted faster if they had seen this coming. But, as a German saying goes “Afterwards you're always smarter“ 😷 Hope you're staying positive and have a good place and great company to stay with 🌸🌳🐕🐈🌻 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #galapagosracer #galapagossnake #snakesofinstagram #racersnake #snakephotography #herping #herper #tropicalherping #galapagos #santiago #galapagosislands (hier: Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QaVq8Fc8l/?igshid=ljgvlxeaflcg

I love playing around with different media! Wood burning would be one of my favourites if my burning tool wouldn't get too hot to hold after 20 min 😄 Maybe I'll invest in another one some time. The rough, natural texture of wood, no artificial chemicals used and the knowledge that this burnt piece will probably outlive me (and not changing colors at all) is so fascinating to me... Do you have a favourite surface to work on? 🌳🍁📖🎨 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #woodslice #woodburning #octopus #cephalopod #woodburningart #woodart #wood #artstudio #artistsofinstagram #artvsartist #art_dailydose #art_viral #artistic_nation #artforconservation #artistsforfuture (hier: Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IW1pdlaMp/?igshid=c971z1bpu7ql

Making the best out of the weirdest Easter ever - I designed some downloadable greeting cards! 🐇🐣 Link to my Etsy shop at the bottom or in my bio. I feel so so lucky to live in a country with solid health care and social system. Seeing other countries struggle so much is heart breaking. Hopefully we'll all rise from this crisis stronger than ever 💪 . https://www.etsy.com/listing/792748315/printable-easter-cards-digital-easter?ref=shop_home_active_1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wirbleibenzuhause #staythefuckhome #stayhomechallenge #stayathome #bleibtdahoam #risikogruppe #wirbleibenfüreuchda #flattenthecurve #mypandemicsurvivalplan #myquarantineinsixwords #quarantineandchill #coronasolidarität #nachbarschaftschallenge #coronavirus #corona #covid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ptHdjqSgp/?igshid=bbatlma8rtph

Painting for @diechilischote (and his lovely little family 😊) How have you been feeling these days? I've been working normally, just a few circumstances have changed. We were split into teams that aren't allowed to meet each other (to have back-ups when one team gets tested positive) and I'm working only 3 days per week now. Which gives me soo much time for creative stuff lately!! Not allowed to post it right now though, because most of them are gifts... 😏💚 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #dogportrait #dogportraits #dogportraittattoo #dogportraitartist #dogportraiture #dogportraitpainting #dogportraitcommissions #dogportraitfromphotos #dogpaintingsofinstagram #animalartistscollective (hier: Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XhngiF2F6/?igshid=tvxtsuh9qh1f
