💙💙Drop Something BLUE💙💙
Water color illustration of forest and bough of purple and white flowers. The photo ref was out of focus so the whole thing is soft yellow light and dark blue contrasting shadows except the flowers which are highly detailed.

I have been watching Digimon Breakbeat with friends and wanted to draw Gekkomon!
Black and white ink pen drawing of Gekkomon from Digimon Breakbeat. Colored marker drawing of Gekkomon from Digimon Breakbeat. He is a bright green Digimon with a pink tongue and blue gloves and shoes that looks like a cross between and iguana and a gekko.

I made this logo for my adventuring crew who is playing His Majesty the Worm. We are called the Vintner's of Varia. Hence all the "V's" lol and we are exploring our local dungeon called Stone Hell rn.
A black and white cross hatched ink pen drawing of a bunch of grapes with a spear through it. The spearhead is dripping grape juice that turns into gold coins with a "v" on them that are filling up a wine goblet that has a "V V" on the center of it.

More art! This time of my Maud who has passed away. I'm not sure it's done yet but here it is for now.

I am applying for MFAs in Canada right now. That is the current plan to GTFO of the US...😬
Brightly primary colored watercolor painting of a contemptuous looking white cat with a stripy gray and black tail on top of a bunch of pillows. One of them covered with a flowered pillow case.

I got two really nice ones and two mediocre ones and then a bunch of duds out a 10 pack of Instax film. I need to go out when it's sunnier.
The baby blue book cover of an Instax photo album that says "Pieces of Moment" on it with an Instanx picture of a evergreen tree black silhouetted by the setting sun in blue and gold I took today. The best Instanx picture I took today of a street lamp glowing in some trees during the golden hour, catching a bit of sunlight and blue sky.

Guess who found their Instax camera again...🤩 I love how the indoor pics look like they were taken by hipsters at an early 2000s house party and the outdoor ones are gorgeous. Time to take more treefies. (Tree portraits). I've even got fun filters to try! :D
Two Instax instant photographs. One of some evergreen trees outside and the other of a black and pink St. Andrew's cross complete with chains and candles. Another Instax picture of the black and pink St. Andrew's cross, this time with a sepia colored red filter on the image.

Been doing some water color lately. Last night I used oil pastels to draw Mokosh. She is the Slavic fertility goddess and I love how alien she looks in traditional embroidered depictions. That is what I am trying to mimic here in pastel.
A brightly colored red, ochre, and blue oil pastel drawing of the Slavic fertility goddess Mokosh. She is depicted very alien-like with a head shaped like a diamond with four eyes and very skinny stick figure arms and legs holding two birds, one in each hand.

I'm Basil! A trans/nonbinary and autistic art therapy graduate student. I adore all my trans/nonbinary autistic siblings. We are so much better than the hate they give us for simply existing.
A crocheted marionette puppet of Basil, a white person with blue hair, glasses, and fuzzy velvet sweater and pants who is holding a lavender cane. A water color brad puppet of a blue crab that has been pinned to a refrigerator. Three crocheted coasters in the shape of leaves, one green, yellow, and red. Basil made. On top of a wood burned tray with an Alphonse Mucha style woman's head that Basil didn't make. A rough water color sketch of a pine tree trunk and branches covered in knots.

It's in the first and last paragraphs. I'm not sure if I am viewing the entire article but it was something that was like being slapped in the face. Nodding and agreeing with the toxicity of fragrance as I have sensitivities to it and then bam! Transphobia. :/
Two paragraphs that read: "In the last few decades, synthetic fragrance compounds have become ubiquitous components of personal care and household products. Overwhelming consumerism trends have led to excess usage of these chemicals. It has been observed that this fragrance laden unhealthy lifestyle runs parallel with the unprecedented rates of diabetes, cancer, neural ailments, teratogenicity, and transgender instances. Screenshot of text that reads: continued, the fragrance compounds can lead to gynecomastia, cancers, gender manipulation, teratogenicity. Creating public awareness is essential.

Alright. I didn't ruin it. It's decent! Which is good enough lol, have some New Years curry cup noodle.
Pen and marker contour drawing of a Nissin curry ramen cup noodle cup in full color. The previous picture was in black and white and I have colored this one with yellows, oranges, and browns. It looks like a decent representation of a cup noodle.

A black and white pen and ink contour drawing of a Nissin curry flavored cup noodle. A contour drawing is one made when you don't lift your pen off the paper as you draw.

Lurantis. I love their candy striper legs and kimono sleeve arms. They just seem like such a cutie pie.
An image of the pokemon Lurantis which is based off of a preying mantis and is pink, red, and minty green colored.

I love this card. The art is so beautiful I am putting my mono white deck in a deck box with this art on it. Currently my Horse Girl deck is missing like 41 cards with the lands. I am waiting on half my singles still lol.
Someone holding the alternate art card for the Magic the Gathering Card Pearl Medallion which says "White spells you cast cost 1 less to cast." The artwork depicts a beautiful pearl choker made of dangling white a lavender pearls on someone's neck. The necklace is snapping at the bottom and falling apart. They are making a scandalized expression with their mouth as it does.

Here is the transgender flag inspired art doll I made last year for pride when I was mentally well lol I want to make another doll soon. ♥️ But who knows.
Handmade clown art doll of a rabbit with a blue and white polka dot top and striped pink and white pants. She is wearing a pink and blue ruffled collar and a tall blue and pink cone hat. A better picture of the clown art doll's cone hat from the waist up. It has a handmade pom pom on the top. She is decorated with sequins, beads, and mini pom poms. An image of the art doll's pointed toed shoes that are blue with white flower sequins and pink pom poms on the pointed toes. A close up picture of the bunny rabbit girl art doll's face. She has whiskers and sad eyes covered in pink and blue face paint made of needle felt. Her colors are the same as the transgender flag as I constructed her for pride month.

This year's char-boo-terie board spread. The goat cheese apricot spread was delicious. So was the 5 year old mimolette cheese and Fraser pears. We watched The Thing. That's what the meaty and toothy plate is supposed to be.
A living room table covered in black and gold table cloth with several plates of meat and cheese on it. The closest plate has a skull made of crackers and white cheese on it. The serving plates have skeletons on them and there is an orange candle shaped like a tentacle in the center of the table. It's a Halloween themed meat and cheese spread. Close up picture of the cheese and crackers shaped like a skull Close up of picture of the orange mimolette cheese that has a jack-o'-lantern face made of salami. Close up of the tray covered in prosciutto, salami, pear slices, and craisins that are shaped like John Carpenter's The Thing's mouth.

I should do a Halloween collage piece. Have some witchy black out poetry and bird themed chronic illness collage instead.
Collage page done on a beige rice paper hand made journal. It contains floral paper, lace paper cut outs, a picture of the planet saturn, gold Greek statue head, and a black out poem about palmistry that reads: "palm+maistrie reading a future in fatty oils and waxes a solid edible flesh of fruit strewn triumphal FLOURISHING it's hard sugar-rich sap" A collage page on beige rice paper in a handmade journal covered in magazine art of birds, gold paint, gold mica flakes, purple and gold hand dyed origami paper folded into a rose, pieces of pansy and lilac petals covered in gold paint, and a dictionary definition of the word "diagnosis." Two birds hold a pen illustration of a man in an oxygen mask over the definition of diagnosis.

Having a bad day, but all the art on here makes me feel better. Have some of my collage art and hopefully it makes y'all feel better too.
A magazine collage of trees and dyed paper and a medieval priest pointing at a golden pearl that says "Art Healing." A magazine collage of many people sunbathing on the beach of a lake by the mountains on top of painted paper that says "Your/Our Lifesaving History." A magazine paper collage of eye glasses split in two pouring red liquid into a chalice held by a hand coming out of a shadow in a doorway.
