✦ LAVENDER COWBOY ART ✦

Oh

Illustration of a hissing opossum (head only, wearing a red bandana). The opossum is made to look like it's yelling/hissing text that reads, in large lettering "Protect TRANS" (and in smaller, stacked lettering "FOLKS. KIDS. RIGHTS. FUTURES." The text is whispy and is on an even whispier teal gradient background. The opossum ('possum') head and text bubble is outlined in black and placed in front of a bright yellow circle (creating a crescent-moon-esque appearance) and set of a dark blue-black background with small speckling light beams. The illustration is 'signed' with the artist's handle, @lavendercowboyart, under the possum's bandana.

PROTECT TRANS FOLKS. PROTECT TRANS KIDS. PROTECT TRANS RIGHTS. PROTECT TRANS FUTURES. 🗣️🏳️‍⚧️

Colorful illustration of an orca over a rainbow with a cloud-esque area of text that reads “eat the rich” and “@lavendercowboyart”. There are some accenting MCM inspired starbursts

A poorly drawn circle with “just make it exist first” followed by a perfect circle with “you can make it good later” on the left side of the image. On the right, the first sketch version of the “eat the rich” orca design, followed by the finished version

I’ve been itching to draw a really bright and colorful piece and I’ve had this idea rattling around in my head for a while, so here we have it!

This will be included on my online shop with my next update (coming soon!)

This is the September sticker club design! Can y'all believe it's already September? This year has gone by so fast.

Vintage movie poster styled illustration for "attack of the radioactive shrimp". Top text reads "from store to stomach... an unexpected hazard!". Illustration in the center of the image as a glowing green shrimp with a radioactive symbol beside it. Text beneath reads "starring Wal-Mart of AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MO, OH, OK, PA, TX, and WV", followed by "a lavender cowboy art production"

This is a photo of the physical poster (the same as the other described image)

I felt like this whole radioactive shrimp situation required a movie poster design so I drew one 🦐☢️

Illustration of a monarch butterfly on a periwinkle background where the black in the wings spells out "fuck ice!" In all caps. Text above the butterfly reads "migration is natural"

Every year millions of Monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles south to overwinter in Mexico.

But this post isn’t about butterflies.

Photo of a holographic deer fawn sticker on green vegetation with a bee sticker blurry in the background. The fawn sticker in the foreground is an illustration of a curled up white-tailed deer fawn with virginia spring beauty flowers and bluebells in surrounding it.

A second photo with the same subject matter as the previous, but now the deer sticker is in the background and the holographic bee is focused and in front. The bee sticker is an stylized illustration of a bumble bee flying towards the viewer, holding a purple tulip with one set of legs and a wicker picnic basket with another set.

You do not have to keep getting sick, and you definitely cannot keep being a vector that sickens, disables, and kills others. It is anti-progressive, anti-humanist behavior to keep ignoring a disease that, as you all say, isn’t going anywhere. It’s time to adapt. Or…well, you know the rest.

So ok, here’s the deal. We’ve been skating on the fact that we had a massive summer wave last year, one of the biggest we’ve *ever* had. Since then, no new strain really took over, so people who got sick last year have been coasting on limited immunity to that strain.

That’s about to change.

Today’s fun little doodle 🍃🔥

The State Department’s Passport Policy made two substantive changes to its prior policy: (1) where it once allowed applicants to obtain a passport with a sex marker reflecting their gender identity or sex assigned at birth, it now allows applicants to obtain a passport reflecting only their sex assigned at birth; and (2) where it once allowed non-binary, intersex, and gender nonconforming applicants to obtain a passport with an “X” sex marker, it has now eliminated that option. In making both substantive changes in conformance with Executive Order 14168, the State Department has drawn classifications based on sex. As to the first policy change, applicants are explicitly treated differently based on their sex assigned at birth. A person who identifies as female can receive a passport marked “F” if her sex assigned at birth was female, but not if her sex assigned at birth was male. Likewise, a person who identifies as male can receive a passport marked “M” if his sex assigned at birth was male, but not if his sex assigned at birth was female. Put more concretely, plaintiffs Zaya Perysian and Chastain Anderson, transgender women, were denied passports marked “F” because their sex assigned at birth was male, but an otherwise identically situated person who likewise identifies as female could receive a passport marked “F” if her sex assigned at birth was female. The differential treatment—in whether the applicant can obtain a passport with a sex marker that reflects their gender identity—is entirely dependent on the applicant’s sex assigned at birth. Viewed from any angle, that amounts to a classification based on sex.

4. The judge, when evaluating whether or not the transgender plaintiffs were being discriminated against in a way that likely violates their equal protection under the law, ruled that they likely were.
