Icon vs artist
My current icon on bsky. It's a serene image of a wizard with a blue flaming mohawk getting bitten in their throat by a massive white lion It's me! The cartoonist, the artist, the queer, the tranman, the writer, the comics teacher, the guy wearing dungarees and a forest green vest.

I'm trying out new things! New ways to spread transness! It's very addictive! #sculpt #zbrush #transgender #art #3D #learning #adrianmalmgren

Existence is resistance, and we will never go away. Creating a new batch of art for a small zine. Centered on trans connection, eroticism, and joy.

The angel and demon are kissing each other deeply. Their faces are serene and passionate. Behind them a star shines bright, radiating a gloria of energy. They rise from a dark star with white flames in the center.

Without downloading any new pics describe your gender in one image:
Rhys Ivans as the antagonist Adrian from the fever dream movie "Little Nicky". This devil made a weird egg out of me. All thanks to to the queer coding and long faux fur coat.

Trans people are loved and We love fiercely. We keep falling in love...
This piece is titled "I love you".

An angel is willingly subdued with shibari ropes by a beautiful demon. The demon rests their gaze lovingly on the angels face as they gently touch their neck. The angel is naked, the demon wears nothing except for a jockstrap, thigh high socks and boots. They're both sublime and colored in pink and peachy hues.

Without downloading any pictures, what is it like dating you?
A devestating pun. Some dark robed figures around a dark fantasy mechanical piano. The above text reads" Forgive me father for I have synthed"

I'm #creating #art with cheesy #demon & #angel themes, #trans #empowerment, some #kink and #cute propaganda #vibes! Remember: Trans rights are human rights! #adrianmalmgren #illustration #bisexual #nonbinary #gay #lgbtqai #ftm #transmasc #topsurgery
Reference/pose by @albanenechi.bsky.social
A nearly naked demon is resting in the arms of an angel. Their eyes are closed. Both are wearing pink big boots. The angel is wearing tube socks, the demon wears over knee socks and an open jockstrap. They angel has Y2K inspired tribal tattoos on its neck and thigh. The demon has then as well on their chest and ribs. On the I side of the demons wing the phrase "trans rights are human rights" is written. A loose loosened rope is laying spread out over their legs. They are serene, and beautiful.

I translated this old thing! This is #Batty! They’re a transgender vampire! They suck #hormones! #testosterone #vampires #transgender #adrianmalmgren #cartoon #comics #comicstrip #transrights #vampire #cryptid #oc #transition #voicechange
Two panel comic. In the first panel: we see Batty, a pink transgender vampire. They are standing in front of a microphone. They say: ”This is my voice 3000 years on T!” Tje second panel: Batty makes the echo location noises that vibrates trough the universe. This is their voice 3000 years on testosterone.

For the first time experiencing the northern lights! I feel humbled and awestruck! My #artist spirit is filled to the brim with #inspiration. I need more moments like these in my life. #sliceoflife #wholesome #auroraborealis #northernlights #inspiration #nature #sweden
I look up at the night sky. The stars are out. Northern lights are glowing in emerald hues behind me. A thin veil of northern lights dance across a starlit night sky. Aurora borealis. Aurora borealis. The northern lights. A plume of emerald green is stretching across the night sky. Aurora borealis, the northern lights. Dan ing across the night sky over the small village of Vännäs, in Västerbotten.

Today was a #good and #cozy winter day! I met a #cat named Harald, and went on a sleigh ride! The #cute #horse is named Saffran <3! #sliceoflife #adrianmalmgren #wholesome
Me (Adrian) is wearing a leopard printed fluffy coat, a green beanie hat and a huge scarf. I'm kneeling behind of a lovely fluffy orange cat whilst giving it pets together with friends and family! Me (Adrian) is letting a cute horse smell my hand before I pet it. I'm wearing a green beanie hat and a long faux fur coat with leopard print.

Travel #doodle I #rendered for fun. It's my #character #Adrian a few months into his #transition from my #comic #Wicker. #Transpeople don't owe anyone conformity. We don't #exist for you, and we will never go away. We are not your kink. #Fuckfascists. I had a blast with this one 💅 #art #procreate
A gender non-conforming person stands alone with a smoking cigarette in their hand. They exhale smoke. They are silhuetted in red against deep contrasting blue. They are wearing a light ribbed body and a red leather jacket with studs and a trans symbol patch. They have a band-aid on their buttock. They have a relaxed demeanor and facial expression. They radiate relief. Their face and stylized hair is highlighted in bright lights.

I'm having a blast with this page. Nothing says personal growth like a tantrum in an ethereal void✨ (...that you've also turned into a dump). Detailed #sketch of a #page from my #queer #sci-fi #comic #Wicker. #adrianmalmgren #art #artist #clipstudiopaint #protagonist #chapter #cartoonist

A knight in armor, without their helmet, sits in a bluegreen void. their mellow gaze falls upon their kneeling lover. Their hands are holding onto eachother. Hoping that everything Will be okay.

This is a #photo of an A2 #riso #print I made as a participant in a #workshop at #MalmöUniversity a couple of years ago. It's a two color print featuring my #OC's being tools for #queer #trans #empowerment and not giving a shit about anyone's opinions. I love venting my frustrations like this.
Two awesome demonic queer punks are standing back to back. They're adorned with trans symbols and flags. And anticop badges. They're armed with nailbats. They look like they don't give a f*k about your opinion.

Since the start of 2023 I have been doing an overhaul of my #queer #scifi #comic "Wicker". It's been so worth it. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm also drawing more detailed sketches this round. Can't wait to #ink and #color everything! #art #trans #adrianmalmgren

These where gifted to me by one of my readers many years ago! The #comic I made back then has changed into a completely new #project. But the lil creatures from the world I'm telling still exists! I wish I knew the name of the reader who gave these #knitted catspheres to me. They keep me going! #art

Paraphrase of a painting by Frederic William Burton. Two lovers are passing by each other. One of them gently holds the arm of their lover against their face as they pass by.

Throwback to this old illustration! I made my first proper sculpture based on it in 2022, but it sadly broke when I moved! It's my #oc from my upcoming #comic #Wicker. I look forward to show more of it this year! #art #2Dart #queer #adrianmalmgren #trans #wickercomic #sculpture #sculpey

I am loving the fact that I can finally post stuff labeled as adult content. This one I made to blow of some steam, empower my crowd and provoke others.This piece is one of my faves from last year. F*ck Fascists! #art #queer #transgender #nonbinary #erotic #antifascist #fuckfascism #adrianmalmgren
Two queer devils are in a kinky scene. one of them is holding the other in a firm grip with one arm, a marker is being Held in the hand. The dom is grinning as thier toungues meet, the sub is moaning and tied up whilst being stimulated with a vibrator between their spread legs. ”Fuck Fascism” is written with big letters on the inside of their thighs.

It's awful to hear about the rollbacks in the U.S. But a very funny sliver in the dark to see the rulers label all americans as female. Since "at conception" everyone starts off as female. Who needs science? #election #us #thewhitehouse #gender

#art #adrianmalmgren #zodiac #strenght #illustration #tarot #queer #vore #erotic #2D An illustration I did for an upcoming collaboration! This is my take on the zodiac sign #Leo.
A white lion with burning eyes grips a person by their waist and bites down into the shoulder of a transmasculine being with flaming hair. Their expression is serene. They are wearing the symbol of eternity as a crown. Stars are scattered across the background.

If it was not clear I worked as the editor for Portal comic magazine up until the end of last year. My final issue includes a never before seen slize of my sci-fi comic "Wicker" and the cover is also by me. Here's the cover art!
A whirling wormhole with a bright light. Two figures are being pulled away from us torwards the centre. One of them looks frightened, the other figure looks tired and in deep thought.
