Queer artist. Exploring themes of mental health through watercolor portraiture. Current series “Anima”.
You know, the hardest part about this ankle injury is my loss of autonomy. I don’t know that I realized how the solitude of independently performing mundane tasks recharges and stabilizes me. With that said, I’m awestruck at how amazing my friends are. That’s some real wholesome shit.

Surprise, surprise, painting light refractions is really difficult. Thanks to @aecheverrigent for making them approachable.

The whole broken ankle situation has definitely given me more time to paint. Which is really the only positive aspect of it. But at least there are more than zero positive aspects.

Howdy! I’m Blake. I’m queer, I’m weird, and I’m here to steal your girlfriend. But mostly just to share my art and find other artists. 😘
