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! ♀️♀️♂️♀️♀️
Finally finished with this massively detailed commission for my friend @faunmoss, who’s been super patient as I chipped away at this while also dealing with huge life changes!

Mephisto said even he doesn’t have the power to alter an existing timeline, so we’re stuck with what 2020 was. Our alternate selves apparently had a blast. Lucky them.
