I haven’t been in studio lately…

Why People Think I’m Lesbian

Fun diagrams illustrating all the ‘evidence’ of my supposed lesbianity (which, to be honest, has been mounting since I was about ten). I am a generally awkward human being though, so I tend to do stuff like the following:

^ I’ve done this so often it’s my trademark..

One of the girls was a friend who’d come out of a serious breakup. I was just happy to see her in a new relationship…

What? She was pretty ….

^ I never know how to react in these situations.. The best I can do is try make a joke ˜(which, I’ve been told, only eggs them on) or get tongue-tied and make odd noises.

Nobody will ever understand the affection female friends will have for each other…

^ as soon as this happened I texted my male friend to flaunt how pimp I am. Seriously, I had just met this girl like twenty minutes before and she bared her naked crotch to me.

It was a great leg sleeve though.

Because why draw naked boys when you can draw naked girls??

These are only some examples; others include (but are not limited to):

my terrible sense of humour
unconsciously ‘flirting’ with people (this apparently applies to both sexes though)
cutting my waist-length hair off and then shaving parts my head a year later
wearing men’s clothing
being a supporter of LGTBI people and rights

Anyway, I don’t particularly mind very much what people think of my sexual orientation.

All art is quite pointless.

John Wayneeeeey..

much love

So, a minor setback in artistic productivity came when some stuff was taken from my flat recently. Luckily I have managed to procure a ‘vaguely functional’ [sic] laptop replacement from a friend to use for my photo references.

I came to studio one day to find this on my desk:

Thanks J-man. Changed my life.

In other news, I like aliens and am researching book art.

Closed.

The final part of my Transformation series was featured in the Daily Inspiration folder at Shadowness.com ^^

Best thing that ever happened to me.

An old picture, but I’m having tea with this girl today <3

You see far too much.

Transformation series.

requests?

Sorry I haven’t been uploading much lately — I have been producing work but unfortunately do not have access to a scanner right now (and won’t have for another two weeks or so..).

Still working with the theme of mutation/transformation and have a few ideas on what to do once I’m done with the whole nude self-portraits thing (which is getting quite trying, incidentally).

* I was also thinking about asking for artistic ‘prompts’ in semi-regular intervals and then doing a piece based on a suggestion from another user. So I’d pick a suggestion and create a drawing dealing with that theme/incorporating the suggested elements and then upload it along with the username of the prompter. Would you guys be keen for that? Do let me know.

In the meantime, have a wee sketch of a happy skelecrow that I gave to a friend on her birthday.
