Ink and gouache painting I did of a friend of mine playing saxophone in a parking garage to the tune of the burning fascism of the moment. May every fascist on this earth suffer a terrible death. There is nothing else to say.

finally dual boot working with LMDE and windows on one drive but it cost everything (had to wipe my whole SSD but thankfully important stuff was backed up.) by the way i do art. here is some art.

mixed media piece as an exercise to get me into gear into writing a story i've been working for a few years! which reminds me, i have to post the other proof of the comic i've been working on…god to be an artist

This piece is related to 'Birthday Girl' in that characters are shared.

CW: abstracted blood and eyes

Here is more of my reposted art. this was a little sketch from earlier this year on bsky i am still super hyped about -- i screenprinted this ugly thing on construction piece using a fax machine, of all things, to make the stencil! well, the brother (sister) fax-575 (she is transfem) ate up a lot more of the riso stencil than i wanted, giving it a crude look, but its an exciting home printing proof of concept that isn't too new. I love ghettomimeo so much

it was the same equipment i used to make this piece, 'Birthday Girl'. It's called Birthday Girl? I guess it is now. I will be potentially disassembling my fax 😳 since its not in its best shape after Birthday Girl, to see if i can salvage the thermal print head and use it as a 'thermal wand' of some sorts to freely image anywhere with an outlet.

haven't been too well recently. i made some sketches last night and just now kinda stream of consciousness amateur graphic design'd it and embraced the serendipity. (I have a degree in this! lol) this feels a little nice to have made. you happen to like this, then that is a strange plus

This was a spur of the moment drawing I did on receipt paper for a medication, drawing an important friend as I we met and spoke at a housewarming party this May. That week ended up becoming one of the most important weeks in my life so far, one of constant tumult, but a tumult you can help but laugh at a few hours later.

So naturally i'm making that experience into a comic, keeping that same energy by calling it "Post Grad Clarity". iykyk.

Stay tuned for updates on it, i'm thinking i'll post the whole thing on GlobalComix when i'm done :)

Cross posting from tumblr on wafrn bc tumblr is a bitch that is not on the fediverse yet and I don't know if i can retroactively post from bluesky. anyhow here is some transgender ass art

i made this with a fax machine to 'ink' the pencil drawing i did, fed through the copier section onto cardstock. it fucked up the fax machine but it was worth it. enjoy genders

Suite de ce #WIP
J'ai fini de broder le premier épi de blé ! J'avais jamais brodé un épi de blé de ma vie ! Je suis très content !
L'idée est de broder encore beaucoup de plantes sur ce patch, j'en donne des nouvelles de temps en temps ^^

Là je vais m'atteler à du bricolage pour espérer fabriquer des pieds de table de jardin, parce que j'aimerais pouvoir bosser confortablement dehors tout les jours où il fait beau ^^

Pour ce #17mai 2025, face à la montée du fascisme partout dans le monde, je nous souhaite à toustes, de la force, de la puissance, de la solidarité, de l'espoir dans nos luttes.

Le million de signatures contre les thérapies de conversion atteint hier, nous à prouvé qu'ensemble nous sommes plus fort'es, que l'on peut changer les choses et espérer.

Continuons à lutter, espérer des utopies et des lendemains qui chantent.

Continued thread

“The Matrix” has been one of the most impactful films of my lifetime, and was created by two #transgender women, Lana and Lily Wachowski.

In multiple interviews they have stated that the movie is intended to be a #trans allegory, with the red and blue pills representing the choice to transition versus the choice to go into denial, with the subway scene referencing Lana’s own brush with suicide and so on

Here is an interview where Lily talks about #thematrix as a trans allegory in her own words.

For #transdayofvisibility today I have called on and continue to call on trans people everywhere to reclaim the idea of the red pill, which has been appropriated from us, by sharing our history to the #redpill hashtag.

Led the red pill again represent the idea of choosing authenticity and self discovery in the face of fear.

Let us defy erasure by telling our stories.
