How many types of tea are in your cupboard right now?
Beloved Monsters is my current, partially explored series of oil portraits exploring the sympathies of sexual and gender minorities and neurodiverse cyborgs with the archetypes of storied and feared mythical creatures. Kickstarter selling catalogs, prints and originals to cover models, supplies, my labor, printing and exhibition costs, runs through June, all or nothing, back what you can and share widely! ♀️♀️♂️♀️♀️

Inside the Landmark, Long Overdue Study on Chest Binding
“Based on our preliminary analysis, for most participants, binding was a positive experience and led to improvements in mood and self-esteem, minimized gender dysphoria, anxiety, and depression, and helped them to feel in control of their bodies. In fact, some reported that a positive impact on emotional and behavioral health makes the physical discomfort of binding worth it.”
This is being called the first medical research study on chest binding. Great news that research is focusing on something that impacts the daily lives of many queer and trans people!
