C/2023 A3: A Comet Worth Watching
My first time seeing a comet: C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) appeared clearly above the light dome of Delfzijl. A quiet evening at the dyke, shared telescope views, and my first real try at photographing a comet.

A Week Under the Stars
In October, I attended our annual star party in Zwischenbergen/Wiesmoor, where amateur astronomers from across Germany gathered to share their passion for the night sky. This year, we were fortunate to enjoy clear skies on several nights—and a few very special surprises. But more on that later. On October 5th, I traveled to Zwischenbergen with […]
A magical summer night surprise
On the night of August 12th, the maximum of the Perseid meteor shower, I spontaneously went outside to catch some shooting stars. Little did I know, the night would hold an even more magical surprise. It was a clear night, and the Perseid meteors didn’t disappoint—bright, swift, and frequent. Equipped only with my smartphone, a […]
Holm 124 on canvas
Finally I could make a photo of this painting. I painted it from a photo that @deepsky.balve took a while ago and I love how it turned out.
A rainbow in the nightsky
I actually started this illustration back in May but I was too busy to finish and post it. Now I finally had time to do so and I absolutely love how it turned out with the colorful galaxy hair. Somehow at the moment I love to play with digital mediums and also combine vector illustrations […]
Free June Moon tracker
Midsummer nights
This month I haven’t had much time to create. There was too much going on in my life and lately it took a toll on me so I need to take a step back and take care of myself. Still I wanted to do my habit tracker (since I use it for myself anyways 🤪) and decided to do one inspired by lush summer nights with fireflies dancing in the grass. I played a bit around with digital art and created a midsummer night scene. This time there are also matching journaling cards included.
An exploration into space abstracts
After my last abstract I wanted to try it out with my usual color palette and chose a photo of the milky way as reference. I admit, that kind of kept me from being open because I somehow tried to make it look like the milky way. At one point I tried to break free from it, which resulted in a rather chaotic painting.
Bringing a Celestial Scene to Life
These videos have been a pain in the a* to edit. Simply because I had the glorious idea to film the process in almost 4K 🙄 But I finally managed it and hope you enjoy this little timelapse of my acrylic ink experiment on raw cotton.
A cosmic symphony
Part 3 of my acrylic painting „A cosmic symphony“ is slowly coming together.
Live painting session with a friend
My friend Sabrina (suiside.de) and me had a little live painting session where we painted together with acrylic paint and talked about the medium. She painted a wood nymph with acrylic paint while I painted a galactic nebula with acrylic inks. The livestream was in German so sorry for any non-german speaking people. But feel […]
