it's important to work on multiple paintings at the same time so that when the spirits feed too greedily, you can transfer them to another surface and let the withered painting rest.

back in 2011, I made these body-sized graphite drawings with such heavy density, erasing felt like carving. revisiting those ideas now feels like having a very long, slow conversation with myself.

I’m Aysha, a writer and narrative designer looking for full time and contract work! I’ve worked on Life is Strange, Pathologic, Hiveswap, and Magic the Gathering, to name a few. Hire me while the industry still exists!

this is one of my favorite paintings from back in the day, 2016 I think.

THE SUN IS BACK

I am still fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description. UPDATE - WE NOW HAVE UNTIL JUNE 1ST 🫂 www.gofundme.com/f/help-keep-... 🫂

Holding Space for You to Freak the Fuck Out this new gouache painting will be on view at PEG gallery and sex museum in Philly, March 4-May 24. thanks so much to PEG for giving this piece a sexy place to roost.

my meds are on backorder and it feels like my brain is coated in molasses. how i dealt with this every day in my dreary and sleepy past is beyond me.

sometimes you have to turn the color off to check values, especially if the colors are insane 🩵❤️

the tasks that loom over me like an ancient curse I call my "hell tasks". I've decided to start each morning with one in an attempt to banish the evil from my life. today was telling the benefit center that I did submit that form on time THANK YOU very much 💪✨

moments from a new painting 💖🌬️

💖 Trans Pessimism 1: When Your Body is Not Your Own 💖 is back in stock with an updated cover! creative nonfiction about the constraints of gender and perception, from 2019.

the Sad Gay Vampire Poems are not satire, but some people find them funny (the Sire is a bit of a queen tbh...) they are also 100% original writing by myself, with no AI, and I don't love existing in a context where that's something I need to clarify :)

No Other Choice Park Chan-Wook, I will follow u to the ends of the earth. supremely funny, delicious, elegant. 100/10, run don't walk to the theater.

I'm addicted to working with hard-to-photograph materials, this time: metallic paint

returning to big drawings, this time with more mess 0:)

being an artist in this day and age is a rigorous academic exercise, one that I take very seriously by wiki diving and imprinting on the first philosopher who uses a word I like :)

that kids book about changing sex when you lick your weenis really predicted the hEDS/trans population overlap.

I just figured out how to breathe through my nose yayyyyyyyyy :) wow no wonder you all can smell anything.

sometimes I get a little mad at my lifetime of medical neglect.

god Im so mad I told my pediatrician for a decade that I didn't feel like I could fully inflate my lungs but whenever she checked there was nothing wrong. Dr, try thinking outside of the fucking box.

when chronic pain changes in quality it always feels extremely severe but the cool thing about this instance is that I found twenty new symptom triggers that I can address. I'm going to exit being in this much agony in months!!!!!

the new season of Project Runway is Shakespearean. I am hooked like a fish.

whenever a story needs more juice, always make the characters worse. secreted away in my imagination making vile creatures.

comiiiiics comics comics. comics. 😇

i finally managed to call the physical therapy center and the receptionist was like "ooh, our specialist hasn't seen anyone with TMJ in a while!" like my exquisite agony is a fun curiosity. which it is!!!!

my fellow armchair philosophers always shit on nihilism but maybe you would be part of the Русский нигилизм if you were a young radical in Russia in the late 1800s. so.

I've been really enjoying wiki diving lately :)

i was just a big fan of this dude.

omg I found a dissertation about colonization/appropriation of native american culture in relation to 60s/70s counterculture theater :) yay :)

writers, describe your ongoing wip in the worst way possible. histrionic theater-adult drama phrogging solo performance

Alucard wants to help make comics.

in a "they said, they said" situation, who am I to believe: multiple comics professionals including former employees, or the publisher who just found out what royalties are? 🤔

normal as fuck comic process 😇

this silver sprocket stuff PHEW!!!!!! I am never going to work with a publisher ever I fear. because this industry is garbage.

we're hard carrying cis people in gay production. if sandshrew mulligan wants more gay, he can get to work on his own demographic's dogshit numbers, bc we're at least 800% gayer. in industrial capacity terms we'd be china and cis people would be fucking wyoming or some shit. fix ur hearts or die pls

Things I learned from this video: -Zohran Mamdani was arrested in front of City Hall and went on a 15-day hunger strike -yellow cab drivers like Mouhamadou were $750K in debt -several cab drivers committed suicide -mayoral ads can also be about celebrating Iftar with spicy Bengali food in the Bronx

FOLKS

what actor's expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life? (soooo hard to choose!)

the first part of Jordan Peele's Him trailer: ugh this movie looks like a Nike ad, snooooze this shot: OH NEVERMIND THEY MADE A SPORTS MOVIE FOR MEEEEEEEEE :D

the new psychological horror comic i'm working on is about peter pan and playing make believe. if you even care. :)

dead serious, someone interview @jeezluisjorge.bsky.social STAT. trust me, I am doing you a favor! the article in question is called "pumping gold: how a decade of bodybuilding and terrorism started a wave of cheap fantasy movies" so... you know...
