Hi!
Welcome to my Portfolio.
I'm Lake, a queer illustrator from Germany, born in 2002.
My passion lies in visual storytelling and I primarily work digitally, creating original illustrations as well as fan art.
After ten semesters studying Communication Design, I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.
Es regnet und die
Straße glitzert.
Bachelor of Arts
My booklet „Es regnet und die Straße glitzert“ ("It’s raining and the street is glistening") presents personal experiences of various people, highlighting how different dissociative states can be.
It's divided into four distinct main chapters and encourages you to sketch/write on every page.
I hope the created contrast to the constant digital sensory overload we face today makes it easier for people to reconnect more with themselves and the "real" world.
