An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)

TRANSHUMANISM JACKET

This is a drag costume but I constructed it like I would a battle jacket. It's made out of a worker jacket I thrifted, and covered in mostly trash I picked off the ground. The printed fabric I got from a friend who's in fashion school and had access to printed scraps pile. Funny thing is they were originally used by a designer who's runway I sat first row of, mentioned a look covered in these eyes to her and she said lmao I have this fabric at home do you want it. The back isn't finished, I plan on sewing smaller and smaller shit to it like on the front but ran out of time the last time I got booked for this number. It's lined with black cequin mesh I got off a shitly sewn dress I got from a friend's mom.

Full costume btw:

The whole number is really transgender, this is a tearaway and I am a barbie girl underneath.

Something witchcraft has helped me with is starting drag, it took me so long to overcome fears around it, so with the moon being in Leo today I feel like posting my most recent look here.

My name is Feline.

Rupauls drag race is straight peoples drag

Let me explain 

While Rpdr has played a big part in the normalization of drag and queer art it’s still held to the standard of gender norms and sex conformity. In Rpdr it’s common to see queens be chastised for not having enough padding, not looking enough like a “girl”. Rpdr has created this idea that instead of an art form that includes all genders and all gender presentation it’s just male to female makeup. Queens have been in the bottom for just not looking “female enough”. We also see this in other unspoken rules of drag race like always wearing heels and padding. While Rpdr is very important for drag as is (almost) all mainstream queer media it’s filtered through the norms required to keep it comfortable for straight people so they don’t have to do actual contemplation on how they view the world as a whole.  (and there’s a whole conversation about how this also ties into transphobia but I really need to go to bed)

in other words
