Whether you decide to reply to this or not I'm a nervous mess sending it anyway.. But I genuinely just want to gush like the freak I am. I saw your comic back when you first posted it on instagram and said a few words on the post at the time. But honestly I have more to say and my dissociative amnesia and plurality doesn't treat me kindly so it honestly seemed like yesterday when i saw it.
That comic and your art in general has been such a comfort to me for a long time. Seeing art about what it feels like to just survive the trauma you went through is so refreshing. And feel like a monster or something disgusting throughout it all. It's nice to see art of people who have suffered through a lot and are still not the best versions of themselves and still angry or manic. I've been at my lowest now for awhile and I keep coming back to your art and your page to see what you do cause it's always so beautiful and strikes somewhere personal in myself as well. Whether that be your drag art and the expression of it, what tiger crawl home has become, or just personal art.
Honestly it's made me realize things about myself and pushed me to want to put out art like that into the world. Art that disturbs and disgusts people because I find beauty in it. I find beauty in the vile and the things that are grotesque because I see myself as that too. Something gross and fleshy, like a slab of meat. I have stories I want to tell and things I want to say and I've always been too fearful, but seeing what you do, it's really inspiring.
As someone who is still barely trying to crawl through this world surviving just to find my way out or for something better, I appreciate the art you make. And it's always lovely to see your art. And I hope one day I'm able to express it myself.
(also may have me considering alt drag myself, awoke something in me..)
Sorry I took so long to get to this, fuckkkkkk. Thank you so so much. I'm blanking on shit to say but you get it, ty for the kind words I'm glad me tearing at whatever I can reach art wise can help at all. Making things that are gross feels awesome I hope you can get there 🫀🫀🫀
