#illustration #sketchbook #cat #pattern
Drawing of a girl holding a droopy orange cat. She’s has black hair in half-up spacebuns, big eyebrows, a green shirt, red pants with a purple zig-zag pattern, and slippers. Behind them is a big folk-art style cat surrounded by patterns done in an orange pen

Can’t stop drawing this specific type of woman

#botox #plasticsurgery #bimbo #illustration #painting #sketchbook
Messy painting on a wall of a topless with extreme plastic surgery. Previous tags are “dyke zone” (with a lesbian pride flag), the male gender marker crossed out, and “it needs to get its ‘scary’ from out here” Sketchbook mixed media drawing of a similar woman. She has long blonde hair, a pink corset, jean shorts, pink thigh high boots, pink nails, and lots of tattoos. Shes handing you a cigarette. Text beside her reads “MUTUAL AID REQUEST: a cigarette from a woman with egregious plastic surgery”

I love using my scientific illustration degree to draw cartoon bugs #invertefest
scientifically accurate digital painting of a cymonthoe reinholdi moth Close up of a scientifically accurate digital painting of a cymonthoe reinholdi moth under a microscope Cartoon bug doodles of lady bugs with hearts as spots. Two are sharing a delicious aphid dinner Three folk art/ pattered stick bug drawings. They’re all stylized, getting progressively moreso towards the top of the image. Between the bugs there is the text “stink stank stunk”

Working on something that’s been rattling around in my head for a while

#linocut #illustration
Linocut carvings at varying stages of completion. One is a completed mesh fence, the other is a sketched line of barbed wire, the third is partially cut off but a sketch of canine feet are visible. They are all laid out on test-prints of the first carving

Hey #portfolioday ! My name is Reed :) I’m a queer mixed media illustrator and fiber artist based out of coastal Georgia. I’m also in the horticulture industry with a passion for permaculture and re-wilding. I love getting my hands dirty ;)
Screen printed black/white patch machine-sewn on a shirt. The design is of intricately intertwined motifs found around the city Savannah, Ga. In the center there is a dragon shaped like a live oak tree that branches out into the rest of the piece Linocut block print of a folk-art style cat wearing a pearl necklace, pearl earrings, a patch battle jacket, and holding a fish. My cat is chewing on her portrait with two teeth (it looks like they are the only teeth she has) An abstract mixed media self portrait including fabrics, dried leaves/flowers, magazine clippings of frogs and lizards, buttons, sequins, beads, embroidery thread, ribbon, and watercolor paint A mixed media illustration of a topless person in boxer shorts with their hair in a towel cooking in kitchen. They are getting burned by oil spitting out of the pan but aren’t acknowledging it. The illusion is largely green and purple with lots of white showing through

It took me over a year to realize that I can sew a screen over my door to get some airflow in my apartment where no windows open, but man am I living now
A grey cat gazing out through a screen door to a plant-filled porch. There’s a bulky keyring still in the keyhole, and it is sunny outside A grey cat discovering there’s a force field keeping her from going outside (screen door). She’s in a light-reflective harness covered in patches. There’s a wooden watermelon slide hanging from a beaded string attached to the grate 🇵🇸 Said cat angry about the new force field

Oh this PISSES me off. “Unfortunately, last years apple harvest was not only plentiful once again but also larger than first estimated in August “ what a horrible problem to have!! I hate abundance!! I want everyone to have to pay $5 an apple! die
Growing Produce article on Apple overproduction in 2024. “The US Apple industry- one year after producing a record 289 million bushels- had been hoping for a sizable downturn in 2024 to potentially increase the price of its product. Unfortunately, last years apple harvest was not only plentiful once again but also larger than first estimated in August “

Show Sav some love by sitting all over it 💖

I’ve switched gears from printing on Gildan shirts to upcycling (I don’t know why i didn’t to start with tbh).

Proof circa 2018 pride
Truly horrible outfit. Long lace top, skinny jeans, corporate men’s shoes, a small purse, and trans flag cape

Developing personal style is a challenge.

Coming specifically from a queer perspective- the outfits I wore along the way were rough man,,
