More Life Drawing.

My final #pouncepunk26 piece is a self portrait for #exist. Y'all know how much I enjoy a good bath, there are few better spaces to zone out and simply be. A huge thanks to everyone who joined @gravesart.bsky.social and I and participated in this year's challenge! Let's do it again next year!

Curiosity, effort and willingness to increase your tolerance for discomfort/boredom when developing your opinions/taste is also crucial to creating work that reflects your point of view to others in a compelling way!

i have to believe that, at the end of the day, craft will save us. That our attention-spans can and will make time for it, both to slow down and make the thing you're proud of and for the person who encounters it and stops to soak it in. It's the only thing they can't take from us.

Tonight's figure drawing workshop was a delight. Here's to doing more like it this year!

Between the SOTU and the Kansas news, I feel compelled once again to share these pieces. Stay alive, stay trans, keep going.

A couple paintings I just came across by Edmund Dulac:

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

POV: Asada knocked you down because he was so excited to see you. He has no idea that Mischa is about to fucking get you...or does he?

My penultimate #pouncepunk26 piece is for the prompt demolish. I don't really have any words for this one. The debris is getting more and more difficult to navigate.

A short, six panel comic for the #pouncepunk26 prompt #healing. Not a complete list, but I hit the important notes I think.

Naked snow angel. Shot originally in Williamsburg for Nerve, later republished in Vice. All three venues now fully dead, but I'm still friends with the model. Humans matter. Art matters. Everything else comes and goes.

Dance (II), 1910 https://botfrens.com/collections/48/contents/15821

caught them doing their secret little dance in the meadow! 😽📸✨ 🍃🧚‍♀️💕🧚💕🧚🏿🍃

I think I'm one step closer to raving about nudism to coworkers considering that today I showed a couple of them a mostly nude dance picture of myself when we were sharing weird pictures.

Full review coming later for Planet Nude, but: Smoke Sauna Sisterhood is a beautiful, beautiful documentary well worth your time.

Discovering I was trans was the greatest blessing of my life. A simple explanation for a sense of wrongness I'd felt so long I thought that wrongness was me. I credit the trans community for bringing society to the point where I could understand what was wrong and get help.

HollerHouse interviewed me about my work! I also started working there a couple weeks ago and it's been a wonderful experience. hollerhousebristol.com/blogs/artist...

Got to review another Spencer Tunick documentary for @planetnude.co! Go give it a read! open.substack.com/pub/planetnu...

A somewhat simple piece for the #pouncepunk26 prompt alien, inspired by FKA twigs. Eusexua is an incredible album.

Spoke to the lead co-op organizer and they were super understanding. They don't think the business will be involved in the co-op itself, nor will the person in particular but would let me know any time they might come up in some local events.

Gang. GANG. LLM DETECTORS ARE ALSO LLMs AND PRONE TO THE EXACT SAME ERRORS. STOP USING THEM.

Quick vent: I've been getting involved with a local co-op that's also involved with local activism and such. There's a business folks collab with within these circles. Someone there is a former friend responsible for a personal SA experience years ago. I don't know what to do.

For the #pouncepunk26 prompt hike, I painted my wife Ashley at the Channels Natural Area Reserve, from a picture I took of her back when we hiked to that incredible, magical place.

The intersection of people (women, trans people, people of color, people with disabilities) who can make good wages through SW is not a demographic that is generally allowed to enjoy financial security and this seems to truly infuriate a certain class of the affluent and powerful.

I’d love to see journalism exploring the mass deletion of SWs off X in conjunction with the rise of grok’s porn bots. There’s a certain tech bro fantasy of AI as a tool of economic deprivation against SWs. The deep resentment at the financial independence of online SW seems to have come to a head.

New sticker design of my personal mantra. Tried posting it to Instagram and it deleted. That's...honestly a first given how much nude stuff I get away with over there!

i think about this constantly. tradwife culture absolutely is a kink and no one will acknowledge that it's basically a 24/7 BDSM arrangement but done in an extremely unsafe and dangerous way.

I picked flight as my next #pouncepunk26 prompt so that I had an excuse to draw Kesha, the turkey who follows me around every time I go to my mother-in-law's house. I should be getting stickers of this one in soon!
