I'm Frédérique Lucas, though many will know me as Namu. I like whales. And steam engines, too! Which may come as a surprise to some people (including me, at first). Mostly I paint and draw, but sometimes I write stories too, and from time to time I pretend to be a photographer. It’s perhaps an odd marriage, wildlife and steam engines, but both have a firm place in my heart and thus my art and neither will be leaving any time soon.
• How about commissions?
Always open! Contact me if you’re interested.
• May I use your painting for my website/blog/avatar/dankest new YouTube video/??
If you want to use my art for anything, or post it anywhere, please contact me first! My art is not stock that can be used for free, and since art is my job, it can hurt my income directly when art is stolen or even sold without proper credits. So just shoot me a message, and most of the time I'll say yes.

Your work is so amazing I can't believe you're not ten times more popular and recognized. Your anatomy images have been some of the best resources I've ever seen. I've learned so much, please keep up the amazing work, you are incredible!!!!!
Also holy cow your work is so good!! Not the subject matter I'm usually interested in but the rendering is sooo soft and beautiful. Captivating gallery you have ♥
Thank you so much! I'm pretty experimental lately, but I'm glad you like it! Without the hard work of people like you, I'd not be able to paint half of what I do. Your research and compiled images are an amazing help, I've learned so much!!! Please keep up the good work! 
Oh thank you so much that is so kind ;w; I'm honestly so happy with all comments I get. Creating art for yourself is fun but being able to share it and talk about it with others makes it even better. So glad to hear you find my scientific illustrations helpful and interesting!!
I can't explain to you how hard it is to find good quality scientific illustrations like this, especially ones that dive into niche topics. It's a privilege to see, I've done a few research projects of my own and I appreciate all the effort you've put in here. Please know it is noticed, and you're awesome!
