It’s pride month! I wanted to do a drawing on the trans flag to start. I never got round to drawing something with the trans flag when I did the lgbt drawings, so I thought I might draw it now instead.

Nevertheless, this June we need to also focus on supporting the blacklivesmatter movement. We need to support the fight against the injustice and police brutality that POC have to face, just because of the colour of their skin. Before anyone condemns the riots in America, we need to remember that Stonewall was a riot against police brutality. Not only that, but it was led by people of colour. Without riots, the lgbt community would not have the rights they have now. Nor would there be pride.

So, if you are celebrating pride this year, just keep this in mind. You can’t support the whole of the lgbt community without supporting POC.

In light of me just having had my graduation ceremony for my MA (for which the dissertation I wrote was about Curt Moreck’s guide to Berlin’s erotic/queer nightclubs/dens of depravity, I’m gonna post some stuff about/related to it. Tagging @queerautism​ and @historical-bucket​ First up is this art of a trans lady absolutely feeling herself:

(I’m fairly sure I got this from Voluptuous Panic by Mel Gordon, however I saved it two years ago and I just had a look through the book and couldn’t find it). According to the doc I saved it on, it’s “Expressive drawing by Voo-Doo, a Lady dancer”. Again, not sure of the date but presumably sometime in 1920s/1930s.

[Image IDs: Image 1: A series of three small carved ‘mannequins’ that only feature clothing. They are mounted on a wooden dowel and circular cardboard base.

The first is of a blue sweatshirt with hot pink accents. The pants are bright yellow. The right arm is over the chest and the right leg is a step back.

The second is of a button-up with a flannel pattern. There are pink and blue stripes over the yellow background. The leggings are in a blue to pink gradient. The left forearm arm is forward and the right leg is a step back.

The third is of a pink dress with a yellow peter pan collar. There is a blue cardigan over it. The right arm has the forearm forward.

Image 2: The backs of said figures.

My carving project using floral foam. I was hoping to show how gendering clothing (with this gendering and sectioning in the market happening in the USA post-WW2) is unnecessary as it feeds into rigid gender roles. This effect was emphasized by removing the body in the mock mannequins, referencing Greek statues (particularly ‘Doryphoros’ and ‘Peplos Kore’),and finally through mixing child-like bright colors for the finish. I referenced different clothing I wear and common children’s clothing similar to them for he final project.

[Image 1 Description: A digital drawing of Yujin Mikotoba and Herlock Sholmes based on a Sherlock Hound screenshot. They are drawn in their sitting room. Herlock is sitting on a red settee, slouched forward. He has an opened letter in his left hand and two sheets of paper. In his right hand is a small brown pipe which he is smoking from. His light purple shirt is unbuttoned, and draped to the sides, revealing his boobs. He is looking at the letter with a slight smile. To his left, Yujin is leaning down to look at the letter. His left hand is on the back of the couch and his right hand rested behind his back. Similarly to Herlock, his white shirt is unbuttoned revealing his transmasculine chest. He has an anticipatory expression on his face. In front of the settee, in the foreground, is a chest. On top of the chest is an off white colored cloth with notes, a teacup, and a bar of soap. In the background is a lit fireplace. There is a stack of reddish brown books in front of it and stacks of multi-colored books on top. The walls are light red and Victorian patterned. Decorating the wall (from left to right) is an opened letter (hung up by a knife), two small notes, two bullet holes, and four framed sepia photographs between two wall sconces. End Description]

[Image 3 Description: A digital drawing of Herlock Sholmes, Yujin Mikotoba, and Iris Wilson. In the left half of the page is Herlock Sholmes in his pink robe. He is drawn younger and with a disgruntled sleeping expression on his face. To his left is young Yujin Mikotoba. He is wearing a blue robe and has his right arm draped across Herlock’s left side and his leg pulled up. He is sleeping peacefully. To Herlock’s right is baby Iris Wilson. He has one hand supporting her back as she lays across his shoulder and in the crook of his neck. She has her legs curled and pressed against his chin. She is pinching Herlock’s cheek with her right hand and pulling his hair with her left as she sleeps. In her mouth is a pacifier. At their feet is a warm orange blanket with white stripes and beneath their heads are two white pillows. The background is their sheets. In the remaining half of the canvas is Herlock Sholmes. He is slouched over, his left hand gesturing in the air, and his right hand splayed against a chalk board in the background. On the chalkboard, simple stick figures are drawn with horizontal lines beneath them. Above the chalkboard are speech bubbles with no actual dialogue to show that Herlock is talking. In the foreground are the black silhouettes of Yujin and baby Iris. None of this is colored. To the left of this scene is a small drawing of Yujin and baby Iris from the front with the dialogue: “Sholmes, forgive me, but… what.” End description]
