a man in a yellow top and blue pants existing within the game columns. in every column of coloured gems, he is either picking up, sitting on, doing a handstand on or putting his arms up because a gem is falling on him.

A place of cleansing, quietude, and privacy.
Wash it away.
What kinds of things are we washed away? Burdens that could be lifted, or wounds that we ignore to let fester? Is our fantasy a reverie or a delusion?

A young woman is sitting in a full, still bathtub. She is looking wistfully up at the ceiling. Flying around her a several goldfish. The whole room, including the girl, are shades of blue and purple - other than the bright orange goldfish, and the red light shining through the window. There is also a splotch of red blood dripping from the girl’s nose, and on her handkerchief which has been set aside.

A young woman is looking out of a large window with the blinds drawn. We see her from behind. She is using her hand to pen through two of the closed blinds. The window is emitting a strong, glowing red light, seemingly from outside. As she is peeking out, we see many strange, large eyes peeking in at her. The blinds are bent around the eyes, open like eyelids.

QRT with your starry art.
One of my classic pieces, Moon Queen.
A feminine body floating is space. Her arms are spread out, as though in benediction. Her head is only a crescent moon. It glows with light, which is dropping off of the moon like a liquid. Her body is skeletal, lacking any sexual or reproductive organs. Her chest is a ribcage, with visible holes stretched between the ribs. The are also holes between her arm bones, and leg bones. She is at once decaying, but very much alive, with skin stretched tightly in some areas, and bones protruding too far in others. Her skin also seems to be dripping like liquid off of her, in the same way the light drips from her moon head. Trailing from her is a ghostly, flowing skirt. She is surrounded by a thin white halo, and in the background is an expanse of stars and nebulae.

For the past couple years, I’ve been very slowly working on a video game with my husband and a couple of our friends. It’s what I work on most of the time.
So when I’m not making posting for months at a time, I’m probably just trying to animate a monster running or something.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

A young woman is standing over a potted plant, with her head buried in her hands. It looks like she’s breaking down in tears. The potted plant looks dead, and it’s overflowing with water. There are several empty water bottles strewn about, and she’s holding a watering can in her hands. She’s wearing something akin to a Catholic school uniform, with black smoke billowing out from under her clothes, indicating a possible fire.

Finally, my last Phantom Siita piece: for Rinka!
This music video has some really cool lighting moments, with this eerie green background, and foreboding red on the foreground. I wanted to try and recreate that in my piece, it was intimidating 😞

A young woman is sitting in a chair, surrounded by trees and bushes, it seems like she’s in a forest. She’s staring straight at the viewer with half-lidded eyes, menacingly, as thought she’s dropped a ruse. She’s wearing an all white, very puffy feminine dress, with a white ruffled headdress, and holding a single red rose. Although she’s wearing all white, she’s completely bathed in red light, rendering her almost entirely red. Emerging from her mouth is a third eyeball, also looking at the viewer. Behind her, the forest is glowing with an eerie green and blue light. In front of her are bushes with pink roses, splattered with red blood.

This is an illustration of Hisui from Phantom Siita, wearing her costume from the Hanabami music video. Unfortunately, she had to leave the group due to health reasons. So I decided to post her drawing today, her final day as a member.

A young woman is standing in an elegant manner, wearing all red. Her arms are out, as though she's pressing against the walls inside of a small box. There are four pairs of ghostly red arms trailing behind her own, as though they are showing the remnants of her choreography. Her head is partially engulfed by growing flowers. Vein-like striations are creeping down her legs, followed by red flower petals growing out of them.

pride is next week

pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan.

do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.
