"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.

Sure!

I’ve sewn the two panels together and, as you can see, there is a bit of a discrepancy in the length of the right hand panel!
My next step is to attempt hemming the ends on the sewing machine and then trimming them down to an even length.
A hallway rug, made with yarn from old t-shirts. It’s roughly 8ft long and took about a day to make. I’ve decided it’s too narrow, so I’m gonna make a second and then sew them together down the middle.
I’m working on drawings for several zines that I hope to get riosgraph printed. I thought a neat way to get some interest for these future projects would be to show my work.
Watch me draw and listen to me ramble!
The face I’m drawing comes from a photo in “Artist’s Models 8: Practical Poses for the Working Artist.”
...aaaand here’s what I’m aiming for the final pieces to look like.
Also, I should have more copies of my “R. J. Hill: Therapist” comic for sale later in the week.

Three figure drawings, circa 2009 before I dashed my parents hopes by saying "I wanna quit art school, get a bachelor's in psychology, become a counselor with a focus on art therapy, and also I'm queer as fuck."

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.)
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.
