I'm a queer, NB, disabled, digital artist from Seattle. I'm into horror and drawing dark, edgy stuff. My specialties are character design and 3D modeling.

How does being queer inform your work?

Most of what I draw is gay art. The truth is I dont like being gay. In most of the places I go Im the only gay man in the room and the only goth within a 10km radius it seems like. If I want to be social I have to commute for over an hour to the former gayborhood where nowdays young queer people cannot afford to live there. It was taken over by wealthy breeders and the city painted the sidewalks rainbow in an act of virtue signaling as if to say this is still the gayborhood kinda sorta. The region has a reputation for being open and accepting while the queerphobia is still there its just more subtle and insidious. If there are more than three queers in a room outside of capitol hill its considered an adult establishment and that is illegal. I feel out of place in the gay scene like I have the wrong personality and preferences to be gay. Since there are very few things that truely interest me I spend most of my time working on projects and doing studies. One way I vent my frustration and resentment is through drawing things that are "obscene." The patriarchy has influenced me and gave me a taste for male submission. My work involves degrading men, masculinity and authority. I have very particular and uncommon tastes when it comes to fasion, aesthetics and physical attractiveness so I need to draw it if I want to see it. This has been one of the reasons that I have created a whole alternate reality and storyline about a matriarchal race of humans. My long term goal is to illustrate a manga. I am learning to use 3D modeling and AI in my art.
