Lilith ★ she/they/it ★ 24yo Queer Disabled Artist

[the-monster-exhibit]

Hi, My name is Lilith - welcome to my teeny corner of the internet! I'm a queer, disabled artist and community organizer based in California.

A little bit about me:

🎂 im 24 years old and use she/they/it pronouns

🦷 I make polymer clay tooth and bone jewelry, and an array of other oddities

🎨 I run a small grassroots organization that supports trauma survivors with dissociative disorders by offering free guided art classes and a compassionately moderated community for support and connection

My goal is to use this space to share my freaky weirdo art with other freaky weirdo people who will enjoy it too

☆I do sell some of my pieces on a small scale, and have a free-to-download zine discussing AI and Art ☆

Check out my ko-fi page if you'd like to support my work!

Disability Disclosure:

I am legally disabled, living off SSI.

I live with multiple invisible disabilities that impact every aspect of my life; most of my time and energy goes into managing my complex health situation with the support of loved ones and caretakers, who I have to rely on daily just to meet my needs.

All of my art is made slowly by hand, often from bed, as a hobby to keep me sane- any sales help me afford the supplies i use and little luxuries like going out for a meal/supporting other artists/etc

New Zine!! Relying On Caretakers As A Disabled Adult - free to download!

☆ This is a quarter sized zine that prints on two sheets of paper, it talks about some of the complexities around relying on caretakers as a disabled adult ☆

For a teeny bit of context about me: I am an autistic, ambulatory wheelchair user, living with multiple medical conditions that frequently require constant watchful care or hospitalization.

I am also a complex trauma survivor, which does shape my experience but isn't touched on in this zine. Please keep in mind that this was written from my lived experience perspective and may not accurately reflect the lived experiences of other disabled people, even those with overlapping diagnoses, symptoms, and demographics!

I tried to keep this one on the shorter side, but as a result did have to cut several planned topics for space :O

disability is complicated and tangly to talk about and hard to abbreviate because there is so much nuance, and i tend to be a pretty long and wordy sort of creature. i miiiight make another one at some point talking about more topics within this or going more in depth, so if there is any specific thing anyone wants to see discussed in a future zine let me know!

Genuine Cat Teeth Pendulum 🐈‍⬛

Check out my previous post if you want to see Cow the cat posing with their teeth, or some closer up pics of this piece!

Genuine Cat Teeth, Pendulum and Necklace Set!

Cow the cat needed some teeth pulled (poor baby, but they are okay!), scroll to the end to see them posing with their pendulum! 🐄🐈‍⬛️🦷📸

I had so much fun working on these pieces, it feels so special to get to work with real teeth; if you or a loved one (pets included) ever have teeth or bones you want made into something, feel free to message me on ko-fi and im happy to brainstorm For pieces using real teeth that are special to someone, I do prefer to work with those local to the Sacramento area so we can avoid the risk of the post office losing something precious- but as long as you are comfortable taking the shipping risk, I'm happy to work with people further away as well
