One of our zine mods, Sapling ( @sacredsapling ) is returning for Moments of Euphoria to paint a T4T couple beginning a moment of intimacy. This watercolor will feature a trans man with a post-pregnancy stomach, and third gender (Baklâ) Filipine exploring transfeminity! 🌸

For our trans joy zine, Spectrum will be painting a mature piece of a 1920s couple (a trans woman and cis man). You can expect a very sensual mood for this one as they get close on a sofa! 💋

My copy of We’ve Always Been Here by @taplingzines just arrived and it’s been so delightful to see the artwork within on the digital version but it’s another level getting to have the collective within my hands.

It’s genuinely a phenomenal book with page to page of beautiful illustrations taking a glimpse of queer joy within different ages and eras. It displays so much vibrancy, life and the depths of love that has touched me to my core whilst looking through.

There is a lot of soul that has been put into each individual piece and it clearly shines throughout this collective. It’s definitely one of the most compassionate and hopeful pieces that will be within my collection and I know I will be looking through this book quite often for founts of inspiration to come!

Mikoto ( @phantasmoeru ) will be joining our upcoming Moments of Euphoria zine, illustrating a Moroccan trans woman in the 18th century, with her trans man lover who is helping her dress. She’ll likely be wearing jewelry he made for her during this sensual encounter. 💋

Berlingot ( @berlingotesque ) is returning for Moments of Euphoria! Her illustration will feature an ace trans man, who is the son of a brothel manager. It’ll be community focused, showing the longstanding history between trans men and sx workers, denouncing puritan culture. 🏳️‍⚧️

For our upcoming trans zine, Rnbwtrout will be illustrating a mini comic, featuring a Mexican-American trans woman’s daily euphoric routines! The character has not medically transitioned, giving important representation to those who can’t access or choose not to undergo medical transition. 💖
