I’ve spent my day watching @actofgracecon.bsky.social panels and drawing Ed. It’s been the best day I’ve had all week.

I mentioned this one as my 'hottest' piece to AoG watchers! There's others that might be arguably hotter, but I just love his confidence and fuzziness so much in this one. 🥰

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #AoGVC
Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's reclined on a couch with is arms above his head. He's nude, but he has his legs crossed in a way that is strategically hiding his nethers. He's wearing silk stockings and heeled shoes, both with giant purple bows. His hair is down around his shoulders. He's smiling, a little smug, and definitely is aware Stede is looking right back at him. Undoubtedly flustered from somewhere off screen.

They're undisputed halloween costume champions, no matter how much Lucius complains.

Here's my art for October in the 2026 Gentlebeard calendar! Ed's still on the hunt for sparkly orange color-stay lipstick. 🧡

Drawing for the 2026 Gentlebeard calendar staring Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed and Stede are dressed up in couple's knife and carved pumpkin costumes. Stede is wearing the knife costume and his face is smeared with orange tinted kisses. Ed is wearing a pumpkin top on his head and an inflated jack-o-lantern costume. His orange lipstick is smeared on his lips and on the pumpkin spice latte he's holding. Stede is giving finger guns and Ed is holding his phone in selfie-mode. He's saying "Stede ran me through!" while Stede winks. Lucius is grossed out in the background and muttering "oh my god".

Need to get this off my chest, fam. I don’t expect everyone to love That Other Show as much as I do. But make no mistake: for an Asian man to be a sex symbol is still revolutionary. That the character and actor are both half Asian like me means everything to me. Representation MATTERS

My version of Ed in Chappel's Grammys dress ♥️ #ofmdfanart
A digital drawing of Ed Teach wearing Chappel Roan's dress from the 2026 Grammys. The gown is made of a sheer burgundy fabric and is strapless (it's attached at his nipple piercings). He is turned away from the viewer, glancing over his shoulder, his expression pensive. His long gray hair streams out behind him, and he's holding a pearl necklace.
