introducing LIVES OF THE ARTISTS, a trans riff on the myth of the renaissance

(the comic isn't straight smut, but smut will be included)

this is page one!
Page one of a comic called "Lives of the Artists." In the first panel, we see a blind-folded angel flying over a densely-wooded forest. The angel is holding a spear. In the second panel, the angel shrinks as he flies into the distance. Meanwhile, a sound effect emerges from the trees: "huff."

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

RAFFLE FOR 2K FOLLOWERS

you know the drill: like, repost, follow, declare allegiance, holler from rooftops

a little overdue lol. in 24 hours i'll pick someone to draw a cute little something for :^)
A little watercolor flier for the raffle. At the center of the flier, there is text that reads: "horny raffle." To the left of the text is a nude bunny girl sitting on her haunches, and to the right of the text is a nude cat girl with an arm and a leg out, her other arm supporting her breasts.

A watercolor painting of a cat-like humanoid figure standing in the frame of a open window, looking down at a nude woman half-covered with a blanket. Outside the window, the tops of buildings block the night sky.

A collage of watercolor paintings that I posted in 2025.

night sketch
A pencil drawing of a woman laying on a couch. She is nude, but a blanket is covering her below the breasts. She is starting to sit up. Her hair is up in a messy bun.

Clement Greenberg (midcentury art critic) wrote that kitsch "predigests art," meaning effectively the same thing as Kojima

passage in the screenshot is from Greenberg's "Avant-garde and Kitsch" (1939), the essay that is probably responsible for introducing the word "kitsch" into English parlance
The relevant passage from Greenberg's "Avant-Garde and Kitsch." The useful sentences reads: "Where Picasso paints *cause,* Repin paints *effect.* Repin predigests art for the spectator and spares him effort, provides him with a short cut to the pleasure of art that detours what is necessarily difficult in genuine art. Repin, or kitsch, is synthetic art."

A line drawing by David Shrigley of a painter at his canvas. Beside the drawing it reads: “Fuck off I am a painter don’t tell me what to paint I will paint flowers if I want I will paint dead bodies if I want and you can all fuck off.”

A cartoony watercolor illustration of a nude woman stepping through a crowd of indifferent bunnies. As she gingerly steps forward, she moves a vine aside.

An ink and watercolor drawing of the same character twice. She is nude in both drawings, her body turned away on the left, her body facing us on the right. She has shoulder-length red hair. There are little bunny drawings to the side.

character drawing
Various ink and watercolor drawings of a character with shoulder-length red hair. She is wearing a white dress and black tights in most of the drawings, and a brown cardigan in one of them. There are little drawings of bunnies in between.

The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.

She is hold a bouquet in one hand and has her other hand in the crook of her partner's elbow. Her partner is wearing a gray-blue suit. He has short brown hair and has his hands in his pockets.

LIVES OF THE ARTISTS/7
Page seven of a comic titled "Lives of the Artists." We see Gio and Prima on the bottom left as they crest a hill in the immediate foreground. Prima's speech bubbles rise into the air, a cityscape behind them. She is saying, "You know as well as I do ... that artmaking is restricted ... to members of the academy." At the top of the page, in a clearing in the clouds, we can see the word "Florence" in thick serif font.

dance drawing
A pencil drawing of many people dancing. The focus is on a slow-dancing couple, one femme and one masc. You can see the femme’s face over the masc’s shoulder. She is smiling with her eyes closed.

new bill in my state mandating that public teachers “may” provide instruction on positive impacts of religion on american history, which is pointless on its face. teachers can already do that. seems designed to elevate a “positive” telling of history and frame it as neutral. yell at these idiots
State Representatives Gary Click (R-Vickery) and Mike Dovilla (R-Berea) today announced that the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 486 – the Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act – legislation that works to preserve the ability for educators to discuss the positive impact of religion on American history, highlighting its consistency with freedom of speech and emphasizing how imperative it is to reduce politically motivated hate and violence in society. A screenshot of the text of the bill. This section is highlighted: “When providing instruction on the topic of American history, a teacher in a public school may provide instruction on the positive impact of religion on american history.”

kaiba continues to be my holy grail of character design
A still from episode 1 of Kaiba. A group of men and boys (I think?) are standing around a strange machine. Still from episode 3 of Kaiba. A girl is seen in profile. She looks down, her eyes closed, as her air blows in the wind behind her. A still from episode 2 of Kaiba. A crown of men and women. Two of the women look concerned. They are all oddly dressed.
