I haven’t painted for 8 years and am really fucking proud of how this is huge thing (24x36) coming along. I will post when it’s done but for now just wanted to share a rare proud moment. Only men were allowed to play women in Shakespearean plays. Now, as I am closer to boy in real life, I would be closer to qualified to play a woman on stage. It also seems very of the Shakespearean era to decapitate and dismember things. • • • #illustration #acrylicpainting #painting #selfportrait #shakespeare #wip #theweekoninstagram #queer #topsurgery #queerart #transgender

Hi everyone. I took a week to recoup from that last post. I was really rattled by it, so I took a week to work, watch Nanette (please do so now), be in a bad mood. Thank you everyone for your kind responses, they mean a lot and I will be slow to respond. • • • But here I am for now, offering two prints, Dolly and the night. I am going to try out an experiment in which I have two limited edition (10 each) prints every week or two. Each will benefit a different org, which will change each round. So this week is benefitting Project Access for low income, uninsured people to access medical care in Durham and the SPCA because animals. Link in bio. Thanks! • • • #illustration #dollyparton #print #aspca #drawing #penandink #sketchbook #theweekoninstagram #queer #queerart
BOYS DO CRY. Crying is for everyone. Boys cry, dogs cry, men cry, butches cry, femmes cry, babies cry, grandmas cry. Let’s encourage a little tenderness for all genders and bodies. Things I’ve cried about recently: 1. My broken water heater 2. Friend leaving town 3. Call Me By Your Name 4. Trying to order a biscuit and being too overwhelmed by the menu 5. Not being Harry Styles 6. Not being Troye Sivan 7. Unclear?? (A couple times) 8. My scars looking ugly 9. Bunny, general fear of her dying 10. Live feed of police charging protesters in Portland 11. Money 12. An America’s Got Talent audition 13. Sad Old Man * * * What have you cried about recently? * * * * On this note of encouraging all around tenderness.. it’s easy for me to feel narcissistic when I post a selfie. But then I remember that if you a) feel self conscious when posting a selfie; b) if you generally lack confidence; and c) have hated the way you’ve looked for a long ass time then getting some self love from external love is just fine. It’s been 11 weeks since surgery. It’s an interesting point in the process. I feel that for every step forward I take into feeling better, the way to feel better moves one step further forward. The closer I look to “boy” since having surgery, the more I notice that just doesn’t feel like enough. It’s strange how the closer we get to a thing, even if that thing is us, the more we notice its details and how different they are up close than from afar. I am trying to take it step by step and do the things I can to mitigate these feelings of inadequacy. Taking myself to get some nice fitting t-shirts. Getting a haircut. Actually washing my face regularly. * * * #illustration #penandink #lgbtq #queer #queerart #transgender #topsurgery #boysdocry #genderqueer #theweekoninstagram #drawing #selfportrait

May the odds be ever in your favor.
Goddamn can I be obsessive — rediscovering lots of old art from my parents basement. These xacto paper cuts made while listening to all 7 harry potters on tape #jimdale • • • • #papercut #xacto #drawing #illustration #architecture
Y’all! Seeing Science is becoming more real — just got my first advance copy and am so happy to be holding a year’s worth of work in my hands. The link is in my bio to pre-order (from amazon) to be delivered in a couple months. (For transparency I am boycotting amazon rn — the book is on indiebound as well). Pre orders really help boost the book’s internal hype before it is released into the world so do yourself and me a favor and do it! Thank you in advance! Plz share w your science and non science but curious people 🔭 • • • • • #illustration #drawing #scientificillustration #science #queer #queerart #chroniclebooks #penandink #theweekoninstagram #handdrawn
