Gender bending is a brave and badass expression of self.

After all, we're all born naked and the rest is drag ✨

It's been a little challenging to focus and paint lately because of *gestures wildly at everything*

But I think she's finished 💜

I promise I have other things I'm working on besides my petty, ragey drawings that soothe my angsty soul.

A drawing of Luigi. I very much enjoyed spending time on his beautiful face.

Yesterday I discovered that drawing someone I loathe is deeply cathartic.

Happy International Women's Day from Ada Limon
HOW TO TRIUMPH LIKE A GIRL I like the lady horses best, how they make it all look easy, like running 40 miles per hour is as fun as taking a nap, or grass. I like their lady horse swagger, after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up! But mainly, let's be honest, I like that they're ladies. As if this big dangerous animal is also a part of me, that somewhere inside the delicate skin of my body, there pumps an 8-pound female horse heart,. giant with power, heavy with blood. Don't you want to believe it? Don't you want to lift my shirt and see the huge beating genius machine that thinks, no, it knows, it's going to come in first.
