My name is Baptiste Drausin, a.k.a. The Baptman, and I'm a self-taught artist.  I grew up with pop culture, and I love to use it. I'm particularly a fan of DC comics.

When I began to draw in 2017, I did a mashup with two characters from pop culture. Now I use them to talk about ecology issues. Check my illustrations out, and take a look at my Instagram for more of my content.

Merkel is a bit missplaced there, we in Germany hear a lot from her about the climate emergency - the local Friday for Future group just loves to complain (give them the little finger and they demand the whole body side)

I've drawn ever since I was young, but I never took classes; I'm self-taught.

I have also been a massive fan of comics, movies, and TV shows. That's why I always wanted to do drawings that used pop culture.

I started to draw on Instagram in 2017. I started with doing mashups (a mix of 2 characters from pop culture). But it was in October 2018 that I started drawing on ecology.

    I was returning from a year of traveling in Australia and Asia, and I saw pollution everywhere, even in places where there were no people. When I was looking for an idea for the 2018 Inktober, I spoke with a friend. He advised me to talk about the pollution and what I had seen. So I decided to speak about ecology by using pop culture to touch on what we love the most and shock people who would see the drawings.

    I have nothing against hunting when it's done for food - due to lack of predators, some animals (for example, deer) rely on controlled hunting to control the population. What I think should be banned is sport hunting for trophies.

    Trophy hunters are not scum - they are beneath scum. They should be stripped naked, then dumped one by one in a cage full of hungry big cats. Or make them each do a death match against some fierce wild beast. People can take bets on how long they'll last. Say, how's this for a reality show - a trophy hunter is shoved, naked and unarmed, into a large pen or enclosed area, and then some kind of carnivore (maybe audience choice) is released. We'll see how long the creep lives, 'cause Simba's hungry!

     I have grown up with Disney, Star Wars, and Comics, so it was essential to use these characters for me. As for superheroes, I have two favorites: Batman (hence the Instagram name Baptman) and Green Lantern. Batman because it's a Human who wants to change his city to Make a better place. Green Lantern because he is stubborn and wants to save people whatever happens.

    It really is outrageous that this is still allowed. EU countries mostly have banned foie gras yet France still allows it due to the "protected cultural and gastronomical heritage of France". Apparently, animal cruelty is cultural heritage.

    Not exactly ecological, but unspeakable and unnecessary suffering. I wouldn't touch foie gras with a 3-meter cracker. The more people know how it's made, the fewer people will eat it, till there is no market. Then the evil dies.

    Wild bees are important, they spread pollen very well. The honey bee that is kept in captivity is a threat to wild bees cause they are a competitor for food. The bad thing is they dont spread pollen very well. So keeping beehives for humans to steal honey is NOT going to fix the problem. I think this is important information. People want to do well and help and think that they are helping by keeping bees but if fact they are not.

    That is a poison spray dispenser. All mass produced produce such as vegetables and fruits are sprayed with pesticides to repel pests (poison) and and have GMOs added to make them stay fresh for longer and grow larger. You buy fruit from the store, they are bound to be poisoned, just not detrimental to human health in the short term, quite harmful over a long period of time
