It is always a great pleasure to work for the Austrian Academy of Sciences, especially when it comes to Christmas Card illustration concepts, as it is a wonderful challenge to contribute something appropriate to this intelligent world of science, with elegance and a touch of humor. 

The aim is to combine Christmas with science, including a humorous twist on science. The Christmas cards will be sent to science journalists.

ÖAW Christmas Cards

Annual Christmas Cards for the Austrian Academy of Sciences

A nutcracker standing on a book, with a nut in its mouth that is just breaking open, rays of light shining out of it with scientific symbols glowing inside, above it a banner with the hand lettering “We crack the toughest nuts” and below it a banner with “Merry Christmas,” all in shades of blue, white, and gold on a dark blue background, for the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

“I tend to assign Julia Kerschbaumer for particularly tricky tasks, as she is prepared to go the extra mile to master them. She works conscientiously, researches extensively and, even under time pressure, creates unique three-dimensional spaces that are visually enthralling.”
