ROT, 2025
Acrylic on Canvas

Remember to Rot. A reflection on letting go and just doing nothing sometimes.
And what better way to do nothing than to make a whole painting about it?

#art #painting #rot #acrylic #monster
Tan melting creature head. Behind it is thick text that reads "ROT" in black. The creature has a red eye that is smoking red upwards.

Sometimes you make art with a 3yr named Sylvia and it is one of the most healing expiriences you have had in a long time

#MeetTheArtist!

She goes by Sunny — though many know her by another name — and she’s smiling about this whole thing. Whispers of a second issue of the year’s sickest DIY Trans art zine drew her from her afternoon nap under a grapefruit tree back into her garage studio like a transmasc Pied Piper.

Wren is your local jack of all trades dyke. They are an aspiring "I know a guy" guy. Always on the look out for a good book about the importance of rot and renewal. They are looking forward to one day joining the mycelium network.

We're about 3 lines deep into the "first they came for" poem. It's not a very long poem, folks

Some fun Junji Ito esque sketches. I love the expressions he did so I copied aspects of either the eyes or mouth then created a new creature around them.
#junjiito #sketch #art #freaky
A sketch of a creature with a wide open mouth. Its teeth are needle thin. Two different sketches of creatures with odd expressions. Sketches of floating expressions.

And we have a bit of a tonal shift, but I wanted to show off some makeup I did a while back. Love getting to practice using some 3rd Degree Silicone.

This is my freaky clown. I love him.
I made him 2 years ago and hes still one of my favorite maquettes. I guess that means I need to do more.
#sculpture #freakyclown #maquette #creepy #clay
Clay sculpture of an elongated human head. It has a stubby nose and open mouth. One eye has a star in it rather than a pupil. Profile of the same sculpture. The head has a very long jaw with an unnaturally square chin. The corner of its open mouth is rounded upwards in an odd smile. It has no ears, only a small slit where its ear should be. Sketch of the freaky clown in the same pose. The eyes have a light red rhombus around each. The mouth has the same shade red wrapped around the lips.

Some of my favorite photos from the art gallery that me & @nateypoo.bsky.social hosted.
We had over 30 art pieces submitted, which we were very ahppy about considering we have never done this before.
It was a very fun time and we look forward to doing it again next year!
