i greet the world

my name is anshel trostloski. i was born in 1897 and currently am 27 years of age. i live in a tiny apartment-room in berlin of the weimar-republic.

i work for the insurance against work-related accidents. honestly, work makes me fearful. my doctor said, i suffer from neurally mediated syncopes - my body reacts via. shutting down completely. i bury myself into the earth like a mouse. but occasionally, i loose my ground and float over the roofs of this world.

camels are my favourite beings in the world. i dream of travelling to egypt and see them trotting through the desert.

i fell for esther morgenstern. she enlightens the world for me and makes me feel funny. ich liebe sie.

in this blog, i share with you my thoughts, from funny to sad. auf wiedersehen and best regards,

anshel

intros to the stars of my novella (in making) »shlimazel«! 🐫 if you are interested, find more written fragments here.

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 🤎

anshel now has his day off and can recover from freudian nightmares.

esel / jackass

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.

translation for the notes:

the work-environment must be safe for everyone

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

passiv-raucher

graphite + digital illustration with my ocs anshel & esther / august 2025

a rare instance of anshel inviting esther over to his dirty little room to have a smoke together.

since he lives in a communal apartment, with a landlady as strict as a warden, her entrance had to be moved to...through the window.

translations for anshel's notes:

finish report, appointment with dr. freud at 12 – 12th october, clean up!!

sparkling greetings (from esther)
