Experimenting: January 3rd to January 12th, 2021

This week’s share is the first weeks of 2021 and are all about experimenting. I was trying to figure out what area I wanted to explore next, and the first weeks of January, I did a lot of exploring. I wasn’t sure which direction to take my art, so I wanted to try a few different styles before landing on what felt right.

My favorites from this week are “Pinhead,” “Drag Trio,” and “I’ve Got a Toothache”. “Drag Trio” was an illustration of my friend Logan Zass and her two drag daughters, Omani Cross and Ayta Zass. I’ve included their instagram handles as links, so please check them out! They are incredible drag artists.

I was watching a lot of anime around the time I was doing these illustrations, so I wanted to take a stab at more chibi-style drawings, as it has been many, many years since I’d done so. “Billie” is probably my favorite from the chibis, as well as “Gooby & Dolan,” which is supposed to be my best friend Lo and me. Check out Lo’s insta as well! She is an incredible musician and person in general.

I had so much fun experimenting, but I think I started to land on something by the time I got to “Little Whip and Snap” – a darker, fetish-y sort of dominatrix aesthetic. I’m very excited to show more of those images in the coming weeks – although I do dip and out of anime styles for a little longer.

Which are your favorites of the week? Let me know! Write me here or message me on instagram. Be sure to check out last week’s post as well!
