#shlimazel

graphite + digital collage with my oc anshel, suffering through the horrors of employment.

anshel trostloski works for an insurance company focusing on worker's safety and accidents. to sum up, his nerves are not made for these tasks and his colleagues don't make things easier... luckily, his subconscious, dear esther (next to the camels cigarettes) and the skies over the industries roofs offer places to escape to. / february 2026

translation for the notes:

the work-environment must be safe for everyone

no screws loose (ha...play on words.)

happy birthday @leichenmaler!!!

i am so lucky to have found your strange and beautiful world, which is one of my favorites ive found on the internet. i read your excerpts from shlimazel and like anshel found myself obsessing over the pink light in the window and the clothes on the line and beautiful esther. so here is a birthday gift from me! i hope you like it all right and that you had a very good day!

love,

shlimazel in a nutsehell

they reside in berlin of 1924 and give each other hold...and the good old schlafzimmerblick. anshel tends to float over the rooftops occasionally...noone knows, why he becomes weightless. we must ask dr. sigmund freud on that matter.

thank you for all the sweet words on my latest artwork – unfortunately i don't know how to reply to your individual reblog-comments, but know that i read all of them and am very happy upon knowing you enjoy my ocs and art 🤎
