Patches available on my etsy(link in bio) Sold my first today, as I usually only do in person sales at festivals and gigs. If you’re in Leipzig you can also buy these directly from me for cheaper. Sadly Etsy takes a nasty cut :/

Vampire the masquerade bloodlines 2 actually looks great imo. Also remember how crazy different requiem was to bloodlines. However, I do wish there would be more focus on roleplay, more dialogue options and consequences from what I have heard. Excited to play it for myself tho. #bloodlines2 #vtm

Back from Japan with a silly amount of gunpla :3 Because crafting and hobbies purely for its own pleasure is more important now than ever <3

16h into Silksong, and its by far one of the most beautiful and artistically inspiring games I have played.
Now to avoid constantly dying because I get distracted and easily pummeled ^^,,,

Constantly butting heads with my insurance company, therapist and doctors just to get my fekking facial hair removed. It sucks ass, and considering how much I pay for my insurance it’s not fucking fair.. being trans is a bureaucratic nightmare, but still I’m happier than ever.

Aaand I finished the moth a week or two ago. I have a habit of not posting much, and that’s fine.
Oil painting of a moth sitting by a pond. This painting is a personal interpretation of the Temperance tarot card. I decided to put a rainbow in the back and use the trans flag colors more heavily here, to emphasise the balance and fluidity between genders, as also in the traditional card, the character is seen as being without any gender or both.

Photo of myself during CSD in Leipzig. I love how everything was organised and how it felt just as much as a demonstration as a party. I’m damn tired of all the corporations pride washing and cis people saying pride should be less sexualised to make it more inclusive for everyone. It’s bullshit that right wingers have been spouting for years. Stop pushing out marginalised groups because you want family fun time and gawk at the queens.

Natural balance. Still a work in progress. Also I had no idea that trans moths were a thing, but I’m all in for it <3

#artwip #queerart
A humanoid moth sitting by a pond with one leg grounded and one leg in the pond. They are holding two cups, pouring the contents of one into the other. The colors are heavily pink, blue and white representing transexuality. This is an interpretation of the tarot card Natural Balance, which commonly depicts a person in the same scenario, which is neither man nor woman. Or perhaps both. Androgynous and gender bending symbolism has always been present in the tarot.

Best tip ever: If you’re using patches for your oestrogen, check out Tegaderm. It’s a transparent ultra thin foil you can stick right over your patch. Goodbye to flaky and dirty edges <3 It removed all my frustrations by using oestro patches.

Happy pride <3

Saw a painting on my shelf I didn’t continue on for quite some time. Thought I would start doing something about that and make some changes along the way.

Finished underpainting, and then some layers to go!

#oilpainting #artwip
Underpainting in brown tones and white of bumblebees with butt trumpets flying through the woods chased by a giant mouth void. Waking up bunny like creatures in caskets.

Let’s keep the repost ratio good on bluesky! I’m seeing art with a ton of likes but not reposts, which means that they aren’t getting seen by others.

Bluesky started out with a lot of reposts and comments and, trust me, it was a space of pure joy! Let’s keep doing it! ✨

A fool’s journey. Oil on canvas
And what a journey it has been so far. I make a marking every 6 years, with a painting of a jester/fool. Usually it’s a portrait, but this time I wanted to do something different. Let’s see what the next piece marks.

Longing for an age long past a world long forgotten
11x17 pen and paper
#surreal #macabre #PenAndPaper #TraditionalArt #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt #Art #InkSky #B&Wart #GrimDark
Pen drawing of a large monolithic feminine figure in profile flowing to the left edge of the page and down into the land, their body made up of complex twisting forms looking like bone and stone with carved symbols and textures as it towers over two large pyramids while another in the distance looks out from the page on the right. Between the two figures is a white space that is under an arc of black with strange symbols as layers above the terminator between light and dark, the shapes looking like a language based on phases of the moon.

I'm really excited to share this! Because times are so tough for queer people right now, I've started writing monthly Queer Love Letters. I'll email them out every month, as a way to inspire hope and healing. 🌈

They're free, just add your email here!

An adorable colorful graphic with soft faded pink flowers, with a bold "Free Monthly Queer Love Letters" in mostly white text in front of it. A bunch of colorful queer watercolor paintings decorate the bottom, with a heart envelope and rainbow in each corner.

Another morning, another sketch for the deck. Things are a lot slow atm on posting front, which is also nice because I’m swamped with other fun stuff to do, which I can’t post yet :3

It would be amazing if I woke up tomorrow and my $1500 goal was fulfilled! I'd be able to get my diabetes medicine, my glasses, my phone, and food! Please spread this and give what you can tonight. I'm legally blind, diabetic, and just trying to make it as a starving blaqueer artist in amerikkka

I lost my job as kids after school art teacher due to transphobia. Then I lost my second job as a line cook, due to being sick all the time.
