It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. To let our fears/anxieties consume us. Especially in times like these. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, to cry, to mourn. Don’t give up though. Please keep trying and fighting. I’ll be trying my best to do the same. I’m so happy you exist 💜🌈 #art #nonbinary #queerartist
A photo of a mixed medium illustration being held in front of an abstract painting. Both pieces are blue, but the one being held was made by OP. In the illustration, a fluffy creature holds their head, consumed with strong negative emotions . A red ex over their heart signifies pain/loss/anxiety. A transparent figure towers behind them, personifying their deep feelings in their heart. This piece is a reminder that our feelings don’t last forever. That “happiness” isn’t a destination, but part of the overall stops in the journey of life. To keep staying here and trying. Please stay.

Hades & Persephone (commission!)
Digital painting of a man and woman sitting on marble steps. The woman sits above the man and rests her hand in his hair; her other arm is outstretched and she crushes a pomegranate in her hand. The man wears a complex neckpiece and a red piece of fabric that only partially covers him.

My first paintings, 2006, were of hedgerows. Winging it.
Odd sense of colour!

#paintings #hedgerows #experiments #acrylic
4 images of hedgerows, loosely done, very colourful. Amateur attempts! Flowers. With no clear style established. Playing.

A little leather reback from a workshop at school. In an ideal world I would have completely retooled the spine to replicate the existing tooling that was crumbling away, but the point was to practice spine lifting and reattachment. This is volume 2 of the odyssey.

From a past life reading I received the other day. Protection rune lodged under an amethyst when cast. A reminder that nature protects.

When you have no home, nature is your home. When you have no friends, nature is your friend. When you have no family, nature is your family. 🌿💜 #witchsky #nature

This year has been wildly unpredictable and transformative for me, but also immensely exhausting. I want to take a quick little 1000 year nap.

So proud of my friend! Congrats on last chemo day! 🥳💜

Chemo chic! Today is my last round of chemo and I'm pretty excited. Moving forward I have radiation and my port removal and then I should be in remission. It has been an exhausting year so far but I'm glad things are looking up!

I’m really sick of seeing big creators say “my art is for everyone regardless of politics” my art is NOT for nazis, idk about the rest of y’all. My art is for trans people, for queer people, for folks with a sense of love & whimsy in their hearts. It’s not for people who vote against human rights.

Another elf ✨
A close up of a fantasty elf from dungeons and dragons, with half of their face obscured by their hand. They have an elaborate chain gold earring running over their one visible elf ear. Their box braid hair is falling to one side, and their visible eye is glowing flaming orange. Their hand has henna design drawn over it
