Forgot to post here! For @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social's recent show 'Memories Become Dreams', I wrangled a large (for me!) mixed media piece that cause me such grief but I think it worked??

'Cry Me a River of Dreams'

Mixed media piece, of a submerged head in a sea of gold. Moth wings hover to either side, as well as a halo of stars. The eyes are also leaking gold. Based on a dream I had, of being swallowed by molten metal. Mixed media piece, of a submerged head in a sea of gold. Moth wings hover to either side, as well as a halo of stars.

Thrilled to announce that one of my favorite pieces, “The Magus” was accepted and will be published in the Infected By Art 13th annual!
The Magus is a drawing by Brit Austin of a masc presenting person with long hair and beard, Hozier looking with a white and blue Luna looking moth over the eyes. He wears a crown of branches on his head. He is well dressed in a suit. The infinity symbol swirls above his head and roses trail down in the background. Based on the magician in Tarot.

A little late but thank you Atlanta! While it was a bit of a chaotic adventure including a flat tire 20 min from home on an 8+ hour drive, I met some wonderful folks! 💜

Jessy’s grand adventure for Atlanta’s #OdditiesandCuriositiesExpo is complete, and what an adventure it was. I didn’t get nearly as many pics as I would’ve liked, but here’s us chomping on epic paninis from #TheUrbanGrind. @britaustin.bsky.social, thanks so much for a truly memorable experience. 💘

QRP with your favorite illustrators from your childhood!

For me it's Trina Schart Hyman, Leo and Diane Dillon, Mary GrandPre and Chris Van Allsburg.

Together they illustrated nearly all my favorite books and they are all HUGE influences on my work today!

The scene in “Gender Queer” that these people object to specifically is one about modeling good sexual consent, BTW. It is literally a young person telling another young person that something makes them uncomfortable and their partner listening to them.

Sometimes they only place to try to practice your booth set up takes over your whole living room. See you all this weekend at the Atlanta Oddities & Curiosities Expo! #artistlife #bts

Orlok is putting the c✨nt in Count.

Even in vampiric times, we must continue to make cursed art. These holographic vinyl stickers will be available soon. ✨

#nosferatu #servingcount
Holographic sticker of Count Orlok, Nosferatu with busy eyebrows, bodacious lashes, and nails that could make a man coffin. Below in black letter gothic font it says “serving count” with the o smaller than the other letters.
