I don’t usually do self-portraits, but I just came across some from last fall. I love how I was experimenting with color. #queerart #gayart #figuredrawing #selfportrait #armpit

Drawing practice while work is slow. Exploring how bodies can react in relationship to each other. #sketch #drawing #gesturaldrawing #queerart #artsky

I love using my art as a gift. Painted this lil’ guy for my cousin’s kids. Dropping it in the mail tomorrow for a little surprise. #acrylicpaint #kpopdemonhunters

How the fuck do you draw a pineapple? #artsky #pastel #softpastel #pineapple

I just got soft pastels. Anyone have any tips for working with them? #softpastel #figureart #wip #art #artsky #pastel

I finished my reading list! Took two years, but I couldn’t be more proud. Ask me about any of these books i need to rave about them #scifi #booksky #dune

Quick sketch with leftover paint from my palette, done on scraps of newsprint paper. #queerart #acrylicpaint #figurepainting #quickpaint #gayart

My color theory week long intensive wrapped up yesterday, but we didn’t spend enough time talking about values, so I gave myself a value study homework assignment. #artnerd #artsky #valuestudy #interior #acrylic

Final project for my color theory class! A previous instructor of mine once said, “collage is just painting with paper” and I haven’t stopping thinking about that. Based on Gustav Caillebottte’s Man Drying His Leg. #mixedmedia #collage #impressionism #queerart #figurepainting

Figure painting for my color theory class. King of Wands was my tarot card for the week, so it inspired my subject choice #figurepainting #kingofwands #tarotart

Art classes are challenging because of working under such a strict time constraint. With more time, I could have given this so much more depth and detail, but a good quick sketch with paint. #artjourney

I started training #jiujitsu around the same time I started teaching myself to draw. The majority of my energy goes towards #art, not training #BJJ, so I’m not progressing as much as I could. But #drawing techniques helps a ton with recall. It’s a journey!

My bullet journals / art journals are my magni opi. It’s what pulled me more seriously into art. It’s my favorite medium. But because my journal is so personal, I don’t share much of it here. Here’s a little collage, as a treat. #collage #queerart #artsky #artjournal #bujo

Portraiture works #queerart #artsky #sketch

I went to a naked queer drawing event last night. Amazing experience. No one stayed still long enough to get a detailed sketch :-P #queerart #gayart #portrait

One of my favorite poets died today. Andrea Gibson set the standard for me of what poetry could do. Their lines constantly string through my head. Rest in power dear youtu.be/V8oGYyLDxFI?...

These lillies have my kitchen smelling like a funeral home

Eye did a little tutorial to paint some flowers, but something got twisted. #artsky #surrealart #acrylicpaint

I don’t love landscapes. Or watercolors. But hey, good to experiment.

My favorite part of painting is when I’m packing up, but have leftover paint on my pallet. So I do some goofy little doodle. No stakes. Loose and free. #artprocess #artsky #art #acrylicpaint

Yeah, you won’t see any AI from this account.

Sketches based on Arrington de Dionyso’s style. I love his use of repetition and monstrous subjects. #art #drawing #queerart @arringtond.bsky.social

Playing with my nemesis: water color #queerart #gay #figuredrawing #watercolor #artsky

Really digging Egon Schiele’s work right now. I love how it balances correct proportions with exaggerated angles. The pieces look sexual, neurotic, and raw. And I hope by copying some of his pieces, I can integrate some of his style. #art #expressionism #mixedmedia #queerart

I can’t decide if this collage is finished or not. Nor can I decide what it’s trying to depict. Just a mystery I suppose. #collage #artjournal #mixedmedia #dolls

Sketching in my art journal based on Egon Schiele’s work. #artsky #artjournal #mixedmedia #egonschiele #queerart

I love when I find an artist and my response is “this is the art I want to make!” I find it inspiring. It’s without jealousy or comparison. www.dorywhynot.com/shop

Sometimes you just gotta doodle #sketch #art #eyes

Happy Pride! Reminder that Pride was a riot.

In my raccoon era. If you see me rummaging through your garbage, no you didn’t. #mixedmedia #art #queerart

What do you carry? #artsky #queerart #linocut #mixedmedia

First go at embroidery! #gayart #embroidery

Painting sketch with a palette knife. #artsky #art #cityscape

I'm working on a few mixed media pieces, mostly on image transfers. I'm finding the work so menial and tedious. Caught in a slow, delicate process, I've been playing videos Art 21 videos in the background for inspiration and motivation @art21org.bsky.social #mixedmedia art21.org/watch/art-in...

Now that I’ve learned image transfers, I’m unstoppable. #mixedmediaart

It’s such a joy to draw in galleries. #art #artsky #sketchbook #portrait

What’s harder to draw? Hands or feet? #gayart #charcoal #figuredrawing #artsky #artjourney #art #drawing

Fifteen of Cups. Feels Devilish. #TarotArt #Art #linocut #mixedmedia #Cups #Tarot

Exploring linocut. Really excited to see what I can do with the medium. #mixedmedia #printmaking #linocut #art #artsky

#OtD 10 May 1933 German Nazis held their first book-burning. In Berlin they burned the library of the Sexology Institute, founded by Magnus Hirschfeld, which supported LGBT+ rights. Joseph Goebbels declared: "No to decadence and moral corruption!" stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1131...

Papaya on fabric. Prototype for a pillow I want to make. #art #artsky

I can’t stop thinking about tessellation. I’m fascinated by how patterns repeat, but can be altered and shift through repetition. This won’t be the last you see of this design. #art #artsky #atlas #mixedmediaart

My top hobbies: mixed media art, mixed martial arts, and community organizing. Dare to struggle, dare to win <3

I’m in a big process of redesigning and redecorating my home. I find it daunting and overwhelming. But I just finished hanging up a lil gallery wall! It’s the only art up in my home. And it’s a good start. #gallerywall #gayart

Spending the day in my garden. Spring is here! Feels like summer. #gaygardens #lungwort

First time making a linocut! Two of Cups represents new relationships, two hearts converging, and being in tune with others. #tarot #tarotart #linocut #art #twoofcups

Feeling wicked stuck on a painting right now. What do y’all do when you’re stuck in a creative project? I just doodled this lil’ guy to use some paint before I pack up for the night. #art #arthelp #painting

Work in progress! This is my first piece of original art I’m hanging in my home. The background mirrors my kitchen tile. I’m using wall paint from other rooms for harmony. And the subject is in good company with other thirst traps. #queerart #workinprogress #eatingpeaches

I’ve never been so stressed about tessellation in my life. I also just learned about tessellation this morning. #geometricart #patterns #learningtodraw

Print based on lyrics from #serpentwithfeet ‘s song “Damn Gloves.” I find their lyrics biblical in their immensity, wholeheartedly queer, and synesthetically inspirational. #queerart #gelliprint #mixedmedia #queerlove #gayart #printmaking
