Warm Meadows, Soft Touch (2021)

(2/2) This piece explores the parallels experienced by many gnc women, nonbinary afab people, ftm men, and anyone else who chooses to have top surgery in the face of modern gender expectations.

Hope you enjoy!

Joan of Arc With Top Surgery Scars (2020)

One of the most highly debated and controversial pieces I have ever made- I personally see Joan of Arc as a strong and beautiful champion of gender nonconformity for her time, despite great prosecution. (1/2)

Sucks that you felt pressure to post, but I do love watching time lapses and process videos! Absolutely gorgeous work ❤️🤩

So beautiful! Love the soft shading in her face 😍

Detail photos of the individual panels-

A brown wooden double panel altarpiece with two interior painted panels that take up 75% of the height. The bottom quarter is adorned with gold filigree and stars with “Tempus Fugit Memento Vivere” written in gold gothic font. The panel on the left shows a light skinned naked trans woman standing in a flowing river, her hair is dark and curly and held in an elaborate updo with gold strings and pearls. She wears a red shawl draped over her arms with gold embroidery and large gold hoop earrings. The background is deep blue with cattails growing from the water behind her. She has a gold leaf halo behind her head and golden stars above her head. The right panel shows a naked dark skinned trans man standing in a field of wild strawberries. He has dark wavy hair and wears a green shawl with gold embroidery draped around his arms and wears gold arm bands and earrings. The background is a cloudy pastel sunset with golden sundays radiating from a gold leaf halo behind his head.

We are beautiful, we are divine, we are worthy of love, worthy of adoration, worthy of growing old and loving and feeling and living.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Beautiful!! Do you use opaque gray or gray washes to do your lighter tones? The result is stunning 😍

Hey there! I just moved over here from insta as well- love the graphic quality of your work!! 😍

A tattoo on a light skin woman’s bicep of a rearing fantastical horse carrying a squid in a saddle bag. The bridal and aspects of the saddle bag are tattooed in red ink with small blue gemstones dangling from the edges. The rest of the tattoo is done in black and gray inks. The horse wears an elaborate chest harness inlaid with gemstones and its mane and tail curl dramatically in the breeze. The squid’s tentacles trail behind it as if the horse is traveling forwards at great speed.

A tattoo inspired by the short story Dream House as the Queen and the Squid that appears in Carmen Maria Machado's 2019 memoir In the Dream House. Thank you Rachel! 🎠✨🦑

A reddish brown ink illustration on a light blue textured paper background depicting a trans woman disrobing and stepping into a circular bathing pool. Plants, flowers, and stars surround her, and vase at the edge of the pool emits a magical swirling smoke. A label on the right hand side spells out “Aphrodite” in vertically oriented lettering surrounded by vines and flowers. The artist’s signature [TG] is in the bottom right underneath the label.

Transfemme Aphrodite, goddess of love, sexuality, beauty, desire, and feminine rage.
