I haven’t posted WIP pics in awhile because it drives me crazy when those get more interest than the finished pieces but I need to show off all my cool sketches.

Was looking over my old posts and had a moment where I was like “Dang, I am actually a pretty good painter and this is a pretty cool painting.”

Only took four years distance from the actual creation of the piece to feel that way about it!   ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

“Pretty Bunny/Ugly Hare”

acrylic and stickers on canvas board, 14 x 18

PRINTS AVAILABLE

Something of a continuation on the theme of “fuck your fascist cuteness standards.”

Inspired by the Playboy Bunny as a restrictive concept of American female beauty, the different connotations of the words “bunny” and “hare,” and overhearing a pregnant woman discuss her fears that her unborn child would be born with a “hare lip,” because that had “just ruined” Joaquin Phoenix’s face.

Slightly dissatisfied with this painting, actually. I have a tendency to push shadows darker than I would like, and that happened in this piece. I want to develop an ability to work with paler palettes.

However, this is the first time that I’ve really tried mixing a more deliberately stylized look with traditional painting, and I am very pleased with how that turned out.

This is actually beginning to look like what I imagined!

A friend texted this to me "In my dream last night you were in this enormous cardboard Halloween costume that made you look like a section of wall cut out of a retail store. You rolled around while children picked items off your outfit." What a good dream about me.

Dreamed that my backyard looked into a forest. In the yard, I saw what looked like a large stag.

When I looked closer, I saw that the stag had a human face. It only had one antler, which was held in place by a ribbon. Instead of hooves, at the end of it’s legs were spindly fingers. It didn’t walk with the ‘palm’ flat to the ground like an ape, it balanced on the very tips of it’s fingers, and it’s legs didn’t move, just the spindly fingers.

Had this dream after I had spent the day wondering what I would look like if I were a demon.

Dreamed that I was putting on make up. I used gold liquid eyeliner to write “Jesus loves me, this I know. Yes, Jesus loves me.” across my cheek bones. I put sparkly orange eyeshadow on my eyelids and the end of my nose.

Dreamed about A. R., a boy that emotionally abused me from 5th - 8th grade. He seemed threatening, but also like he was coming on to me. He stood behind me and slipped his hands up into my shirt. I reached back, grabbed him by the ears, flipped him over my shoulder, and while he was on the ground, I stomped on him. Very satisfying dream.

When he bullied (abused) me, teachers and other adults frequently told me that it must be because he had a crush on me. I was very, very aware that was not the case. He never made “positive” sexual remarks towards me, never showed a lick of attraction, he loathed me. And, it seemed, women/girls in general. My therapist had a theory that A. R. was deeply repressed and self-loathing concerning possible same gender attraction on his part. He never spoke of finding women attractive, was blatantly misogynistic and lesbophobic, and actively drove me away from mutual male friends.

Maybe I dreamed of him being sexually aggressive because I’m thinking of myself as a trans boy, recognizing that a male identity means I could possibly be an object of desire for A. R., as I never was in the past. And I still rejected him. And I did what I said, for years, I could have done with half a chance — kicked his ass.

Hey man, I just found your Bart and Chris in therapy comic through a queer podcast about a book series, and I just wanted to say thank you for creating it and putting it out there. As a fellow trans man, I really enjoyed reading it, and I hope you’re having a good day.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to message me!

Can I ask… what podcast mentioned my comic???

(People with podcasts, if you want me to talk about art or comics or trans stuff, I’d be down for that.)
