2 artists, 1 pledge

It might not be filthy, but it is titillating:

Help two artists with one pledge!

If you become a patron of Lefthanded Lenya within the next 28 days, you could help @disabledfemme and myself both earn a $500 bonus. Each patron can pledge as little as $1 a month, so if 28 of you beautiful humans reading this can spare $1, the goal will be met.

Disabled Femme is a queer, nonbinary artist in Canada who makes badass patches and zines.

Lefthanded Lenya is a queer, femme artist in ‘Murica who likes drawing monsters and cats.

She loves you very much.

Practice, Practice…

A cursory glance at my art reveals I LOVE fussing over details – the more little lines and dots I can squeeze in, the happier I am. It’s meditative, losing myself in repetitive linework.
So, I just started a new illustration a bit larger than my standard work (11″ x 15″ instead of 10″ x 12″), filled with detail for me to faun over. I want to practice adding depth to my illustrations, and varieties of texture. The sketch I made is based on my study abroad experience in Ecuador, hiking through the rainforest to a circle of lemon ant trees. These tree groves have an interesting name in Quichua, the native language – Supay Chacra, which translates to “The Devil’s Orchard.”


Trying to push through my urge to make every line perfect and just MAKE. THINGS.
