Trying To Brute Force My Way Thru Artist’s Block By Just Making Myself Draw.

A fun commission that I completed recently!

Find me around the web on my Carrd: LINK / Drop a tip in my Ko-fi: LINK

You may have noticed that parts of this painting are done in different styles/with different techniques. This hand is painted similarly to a “grisaille,” base shadows painted with color built up in thin layers of glaze.

Sketchbook pieces while at work.

Never sure if I like markers or not. Should probably try them out with paper specifically for markers...

I did a small interview with Eric March over on Upworthy! He was super nice and it was a really cool experience.

Promise to post some new art once I’m done being slaughtered by essays.

"Soft Hands"

acrylic paint and stickers on mat board

12x14

I was looking at a bunch of pictures of 'creepy cute' fashion and I was struck by how... un-creepy all of it was. It was the usual conventionally attractive, cisgender, able-bodied women wearing pastel-color clothes, with the occasional skull or drippy goo thrown in to be 'creepy.' When I saw an image of an ectrodactylic hand, I genuinely found it to be incredibly cute. The skin looked so soft and there were so many different colors in it. I wanted to paint it to show how cute it looked, how anything can be cute, even the bodies and people that others may find creepy or disturbing. Why can't this hand be cute? Why can't disabled or transgender or fat people be cute? I can assure you, they can feel cute and they can desire to be seen as cute by others. tl;dr fuck your fascist cuteness standards.

I love how awkward and layered and mismatched dancers' rehearsal clothes are.

Really pleased with that hip so far.

Another painting in progress

Tomorrow at ass o’clock in the morning I will be getting on a plane to OK to pack my boyfriend, his stuff, two snakes, and a cat into a truck and then roadtrip it all the way back to the PNW!!!

So I’ve scanned the pages of my risographed fashion study zine (you can buy that here)
