Asking for a little favor.

A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)

The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.

The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks 😀

Sich als Hüterin von "Freiheit und Werten" zu inszenieren und gleichzeitig keine Mühen und Kosten zu scheuen, um digitalkapitalistisch-autoritäre Kontrollgesellschaften im Inneren und rassistische, mörderische Grenzregime an den Außengrenzen zu errichten, ist für die EU kein Widerspruch.

“Klimaschutz trägt nach Ansicht von Experten des Instituts für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) in Kiel zur Sicherheit in Europa bei.

Der Analyse zufolge spült jeder Euro, den Europa weniger für Öl ausgibt, 13 Cent weniger in die russische Kriegskasse und nimmt so den Druck auf europäische Verteidigungsausgaben.”
