Some more stuff that won’t make it in the thing I’m workin on. I don’t really like this one to be honest; recently been thinking more about representations of women in art, specifically the European nude n how a lot of the time they are presented as a “sight” (something with the consciousness of its being watched, a creation for another) Despite the genre being long dead as it was then, the conventions of its practice still pervade throughout contemporary figurative art. I find it much easier/more comfortable drawing men in this regard as the cultural “baggage” just isn’t attached to them in the same way, their existence in art is taken as a foundational fact, while women seem to be an afterthought or constitute an ontological contingency. On the other hand though, I personally don’t like the idea that a lot of contemporary artists have taken in abandoning the figure for abstraction; I think there is still a lot of room for the figure within art, especially for minority representation. But idk, my thoughts on this are still half-baked so take the above with a grain of salt owo ANYWAY, sayin hi to the tumblr bot 👋 cheque out these female-presenting nipples you awful website you

Just found out your blog and really like it ^^ can I ask u when did u start realising your drawing style and how can you get inspired when drawing?

Hi hello! Firstly, thanks for sending the ask, I almost never get these so it’s always appreciated when I do uwu. 

Every time I get asked either of those questions I don’t really know how to answer them? But I’m gonna try and answer the inspiration one first. I get inspired by so many things it’s hard to keep track of, though probably the biggest inspiration nowadays is my life, as fucking cliched as that sounds. I feel like a lot of my art has become more autobiographical than it used to, so a lot of my drawings and paintings are an attempt at representing the kinds of things I’m feeling and thinking at the time. I’m also pretty inspired by music, since I feel like it has such a great capacity to represent emotion more than any other art form, and also books, I love to read (mostly lame shit like art-history and philosophy :^) and a lot of that kinda stuff helps inform at least the conceptual side of my drawings. Though I guess with these kinds of questions people are more looking for specific artists so I guess my main artistic influences right now would be Jenny Saville, Mark Rothko, Egon Schiele and Lucian Freud, but it’s rare for me to be directly inspired by them, it’s more their thought process and the kinds of themes they tackle that interest me more.

I guess for the style question, I don’t think style was ever really a conscious thing that I “[realised]” or actually developed but it just came to be as a result of drawing a lot and how drawing over a long period of time transformed into its own thing. Looking at my own work, I really don’t think I have a style? Most of my stuff seems so disjointed aesthetically, dunno how much of it is that cohesive...

Hopefully, that answers your questions? I’m not very articulate so I’m sorry if the above seems like the ramblings from a gross swamp-hag :)))

Here are two pieces I did for a uni project, each depicting a disc from Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s Lift Your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven (one of my favourite albums from one of my favourite bands, it’s preeeetty good). Pretty happy with how they turned out but it could look like garbage in print so fingers crossed.
