Some little OOTD-doodles

My dad once said I dress like a “Norwegian fisherman who’s let himself go” and I’m okay with that.

The Artistic Process

I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m gonna put my little gay hands all over everything.

Also, here’s an interview of me by Devon Douglas-Bowers of the Hampton Institute

1. Kids! Don’t smoke! Do as I say and not as I do.

2. Because I intend to become a therapist, I want to maintain some distance between my artwork and my future career. If you know me in real life, I ask that you respect that.

3. This tumblr is flagged as NSFW (hello underage tumblr bloggers, I see you, please stop that) but I will be moving any sexually explicit artwork and/or artwork involving bodily harm to a separate blog. That said, I do a fair amount of artwork involving nude figures and body horror imagery. Nonsexual, non blood-and-guts nudes and body horror images WILL STAY ON THIS BLOG. I try to tag pretty comprehensively, but let me know if I miss something.

!~Pretty Alien II~!

Here's the full body version of my Pretty Alien Sailor Moon. The tentacles on the face are sensory organs, but the tentacles on the chest and lower back are limbs. The tentacles evolved as a way to carry one's young and still have full use of one's hands. The opposable thumb on the feet is what gives the impression that Sailor Moon wears high heels. The "skirt," like the "collar," is a wattle that's inflated during mating displays.

I might revist this as a traditional painting...

Pretty Alien

Ok, so this is going to be the first in a series of pieces. And it has a backstory.

I was working the night shift and it was totally dead and I was super bored and I got to thinking... technically speaking, Sailor Moon is an alien. She's from the moon. So why does she look like a human?

And then I thought, maybe her Sailor Scout uniform is actually what she looks like, but in attempting to describe Sailor Moon's alien physiology, eye-witness accounts were mistaken for a description of a costume, not an actual body.

So, Sailor Moon's pigtails, bangs, and the little whiskers that I've given her, aren't hair. They're sensory organs, like antennae. The red "gems" described in her uniform are actually poison glands, which are brightly colored to gain the attention of predators. When subject to pressure, they secrete a poisonous liquid, kinda like Cane Toads. The "collar" of the costume is actually a wattle that Usagi's species uses in mating displays. It's inflatable!

Kinda like this:

As for the bunny nose and upper lip... Well... her name is Usagi.

The kanji at the top of the image is bi (pretty) uchuu (extraterrestrial) jin (person) and the katakana at the bottom is the phonetic spelling of Sailor Moon.

I'm sure that Kyozuka sensei would be pleased to see that I'm keeping up my calligraphy skills, all these years after her classes.

If anyone with a better grasp of japanese than me has any corrections, I'm happy to hear them.

Nerd rant over.

a boogie man from my Southern childhood

I distinctly remember, at age five, seeing our family friend Stephen Wade tell the 'Taily-Po' story, accompanied by his banjo. I couldn't find a recording of that, but here's a clip of Mr. Wade doing his 'banjo dancing.'

So I'm a huge nerd and I made a huge playlist of songs that give me feels about being transgender and queer. I take my playlists very seriously and put a ridiculous amount of time and effort into choosing and arranging the songs.

Warning -- some of these songs contain lyrics that have sexual content, violent content, mentions of sexual abuse, and content that may trigger dysphoria. Also, some of these bands or musicians have done some shitty things, and while I like their work, I don't approve of what they've done (Amanda Palmer, The Sex Pistols, Glen Danzig, Die Antwoord, I'm looking at you).

Well, my "Hannibal" piece didn't get accepted to Banquet, which sucks because I worked really hard on this and I think it turned out really well.

On the positive side, I have an illustration that I worked really hard on and it turned out really well!

I was inspired by sweetmeats -- food made from offal, such as intestines, testicles and the thymus -- and floral china plates.

Also, I learned that Hugh Dancy is really fucking hard to draw. Mads Mikkelsen has such a distinctive face that he's rather easy to draw, but with Hugh, if you get some detail just a little bit off, it doesn't look like him anymore.
