TASTES LIKE KEYS

queer nerd in animation and fanart brings me joy

Hoping to see the Prada sequel, and needed to get this out of my system before any hopes of queer coding are dashed. Forever disappointed in their Ao3 numbers.

A thank you card I made as snail mail to a pal in Portland.

**Graphic Warning for comic about open wounds**

My dad's health is on swift decline, and there was a hectic month where my sister and I alternated going home to help mom with changes in his care.

I will be seeing these photos behind my eyelids for years to come. Vashe, you gotta warn a gal about that kind of graphic content!!

Anyway, my mom's a frickin' superhero, as are all full-time caretakers.

This crossover immediately came to mind upon first watch, I just hadn't had the time or motivation to finish until now. A surprisingly well-matched trio!

The emotional stages of listening to the pigeon chapter of Elvira's autobiography. I'm irrevocably scarred.

Hey nerds! My 🌈shirt🌈 design for But I'm a Cheerleader is up for preorder on RAWPAW in association with Hyperreal Film Club.

Preorder runs from today to 9/22. If they sell more than 10 of my design then it'll get screen printed. And if it does REALLY well, I could land one of their top tier prizes. And check out the rest of the great designs!

Happy birthday to me and my grumpy cat, Ficus! He is 12 and I am...much older.

Here's one of the shots that I animated on Kpop :D

It showcases one of my favourite new workflows that we used on the movie, which is a separate mouth rig that we could bring in to place overtop of the character's faces to create that big chibi look. It used secret technical wizardry to allow it to have depth without crashing into the face in 3D space. We could use it to break the silhouette of the face too. Made it a lot easier to animate lip sync on a mouth full of shrimp chips.

This week marks my 2nd year anniversary of sobriety! It's still the right fit for my life, and has resulted in filling my knock-off Stanley cup with everything else under the sun. This ADHD millennial is never NOT drinking some kinda liquid.

Ever since I finished The Righteous Gemstones, I immediately wanted to draw some of my fave Keefe Chambers' outfits. Truly a man of taste and range. Please, I need more men to wear crop tops and see-through shirts!

[tasteslikekeys]

I'm late to The Righteous Gemstones, but I blew through the show the second I fell in love with Keefe Chambers and these two ding dongs' love.

Good friends tease you about your celebrity crushes, but I still stand by Pati.

Just some furry ladies cuttin' a rug.

Because if I stopped moving or yapping, I'd have to face the gaping holes in my life.

The last 2 interactions were just this week and I sat back and thought, "Wow, you're fooling everyone!"...and quickly re-signed up for therapy. 💪

Anyone who parallels Zuko IS a big fat hero.

Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 is NOW PLAYING on Netflix!

Happy to share my launch art for season 2! 🥰

Hope you all enjoy the show!!

[tasteslikekeys]

TODAY'S THE DAY. The Deats Bros and this team are some of my favorite people and have put so much love into this series. It's a bloody good time!

Watched some of the ReBoot Rewind doc and was reminded Dot Matrix was definitely an early crush of mine, and someone I haven't drawn in decades. Mouse's design is absolutely bonkers, but I believe she'd flirt with anyone.

Hit an art slump I'm trying to dig out of. This didn't help terribly, but had to get it out of my system. Glitch, mend and defend!
