Thanks! I’m trying to imitate the look of risograph prints (like the ones I got done for my illustration zine) so I've done the line work in ink and then I'm doing pencil shading on separate sheets of tracing paper. My plan is to scan the pages, color in the clothes/characters/objects with one color, overlay the pencil shading in a second color, and then lay the line work over that in a third color!

I mean... I could have done the whole thing straight digital... but I like to make my life more difficult.

If you are 18+ and make, purchase, or enjoy artwork with nudity (especially depictions of "non-normative" bodies) or sexual activity, I encourage you to join this list.

SESTA/FOSTA and the restrictions of payment processors are the primary reasons that places like Tumblr, Instagram, Patreon, Squarespace, Gumroad and Etsy (with varying ways to get around the rules) will not sell products or even host images of nudity or sexual acts.

Since I started selling my own artwork online, almost 20 years ago, the number of sites where artists can post and sell anything that merely has a NIPPLE visible has been drastically reduced. If you're aware of the disparity in censorship on sites/apps like tumblr, insta, and tiktok -- all of which have documented trends of censoring images of visibly queer, fat, and/or disabled bodies, regardless of sexual content -- then you can understand how these additional limitations further restrict the arena for creative works by marginalized communities. And the ways you can directly, ethically support adult content creators/porn stars/sex workers.

Patreon, Squarespace, Gumroad. What do all these online spaces have in common? A monopolizing payment processor. My hand slipped and I contacted the ACLU, the FSC, and the MA Bar Association for legal assistance. If you’ve been fucked over by draconian nsfw bans please join my Mastercard Injury Mailing List.

So if you go to grad school for art therapy, you may end up taking a ferry out to an island to visit an aged psychoanalytic art therapist and present her with drawings of serial killers in exchange for her wisdom.

That's what I will be doing with my Saturday!

I'm giving her a picture of Jeffrey Dahmer and if the trip turns out to be some sort of elaborate murder mystery, please avenge my death.

Also, a collage piece about Edith Kramer and Margaret Naumburg, two early art therapists.

Lestat, Louis, and Armand, all as variations of Pierrot. Done with Molotow and Posca paint pens, and color pencil.

Lestat's costume is mostly based on the painting of Pierrot by Jean-Antoine Watteu in 1718. Louis' Pierrot is based on the costume worn by Jean-Charles Deburau, as photographed by Nadar in the 1850s. Despite being the oldest vampire, Armand's costume is the most contemporary, as it's based on the 1975 film "The Adventures of Buratino." This is because Armand is a Theater Nerd (Lestat is a Theater Gay, there is a difference) and he thinks that outfit is the most inventive.

As much as I would like to do a big fancy project for Inktober I’m also being realistic that won’t happen, between workstudy & internship. So if I do a page of ink doodles a day, that’ll be an accomplishment.
