I also weave stuff. It’s what I teach.
A conceptual motif in my work is visibility/mercurial or shifting visibility, ornamentation, high levels of visual data, conveying a ghost version of my idiosyncratic sensory experiences/idioculture
I’m terrible at taking pictures when I finish shit

Some work for some fan anthologies featuring characters from extant IPs that I do not own. Fanworks~
That’s probably it for today.

I am going to start doing more explicit drawings, though, because I’m fucking sick of bodies like mine being treated like they’re corrosively aberrant for their basic platonic existence; & actually it’s okay to be sexually aroused, and for me to portray bodies like mine as sexually attractive.

And like, Bluesky upped my rating of these images (contains nudity) to say that it contains explicit sexual content, which it doesn’t. The second image is a nude contorting painfully, but not sexually. The first is a figure study from a nude posing on a popular figure drawing YouTube channel. :/

The second half of this post is that there’s not places online to post nude drawings as much anymore, except places that allow people like me to be aggressively harassed, so I haven’t been drawing shit to post, just for me.

Most of my work is artistic nudes of trans bodies like mine. Haven’t been drawing as much; I used to do gallery shit, but a prof said my work would never show, & implicated cis discomfort + my disability. I just had to flee to a new state re: anti trans laws; it’s hard to fight for ur art & ur life.

This is what I’ve been doing the most of for the past couple of years. Weaving and textiles! I’m a weaving and fibers teacher.

One of these is an instructional image I made for weaving, lol.
I’m running out of images to post here that don’t include nudity; most of my art features artistic nudes trans bodies, which has been difficult to find places to host lately, nonsexual or not.

Thanks! I used to work with those materials a lot, and have taught them before. You’re correctly identifying where I learned those techniques, in fact~ Neither my landlords nor my asthma love the powder and fixatives though. I mostly bring those out for students now

Dunno if I’ll stay here; haven’t had a lot of luck with socials, but here we are.
