Shenja Tatschke is a Berlin-based illustrator and animator who is currently living as a digital nomad. Her work is known for its bold, colorful, and cartoony designs, quirky and eccentric characters and playful illustrations & gifs. Whether she's working on editorial and commercial illustrations, digital art or creating NFTs and animated short films, Shenja's art is always infused with a sense of humor and surrealism.

 

She has a degree in communication design from HTW Berlin and did multiple internships in design and animation studios. Since 2020 she is working as a full-time freelancer. Her work explores themes of friendship, love, and the natural awkwardness of human interactions, emotions, and unapologetic confidence. She wants her illustrations to make you laugh, while also leaving you with a sense of wonder. Shenja's main influences come from cartoons such as Bob's Burgers, artists like Sophie Koko Gate, Adult Swim, and absurd cinema. She also draws inspiration from her travels, meditation, day-dreaming, and people-watching.
