Way too excited to see Lorde tonight. Quick lil freehand drawing on Procreate with the Apple Pencil based on her Melodrama tour photos, but green because of that green light 💚

In Providence you see a lot of handdrawn type for bands plastered on street signs and lampposts all throughout the city. Here's some type I did just for fun for the guys in Consider Yourself. Their album release party is a week from tomorrow over at Aurora Providence. Don't miss it! 🤘// originally I used ink and calligraphy pens on watercolor paper, then refined the drawing in Procreate.
Chester Bennington accompanied me on many of my teenaged all-nighters, fueling both my procrastinated homework and my creative binges. Although his lyrics often pertained to an addiction I was too young to fully grasp, his words took root in me and his vocals [although unnerving to most parents] were comforting. Chester reminded me that I was not alone. Thanks for sharing a bit of you with us, RIP 🖤 // 30 mins, procreate app, apple pencil, photoshop cc
Quick hour long portrait of Jimi Hendrix. Going to revisit it tomorrow 👌🏻
Plane portrait for practice
brb, afk.
Headed on an adventure!
Pink appears to be part of my artistic aesthetic now and I feel some type of way about it.
Thinking recently about patches I want to make... here's one inspired by how many times I've been questioned on a job just because I'm female. "Need help carrying this?" "Do you know how to use that?" "Are you sure you've got it?" // also inspired by a woman I met while freelancing who told me she purposefully put pink glitter on all her tools so the men on site wouldn't steal them 💅
Celebrate small victories, even if the struggle is invisible to others. // The subway used to be my least favorite place on earth and I would avoid it at all costs; Nowadays I don't enjoy it but at least it's manageable.
This week one of my coworkers taught me about the concept of the Empowered Adult, one who recognizes that they do not have control over anything or anyone other than themselves. I've been really trying to tap into this mindset, so this emerged as I was convincing myself to get up and over it.
Originally saw this on Thinx’s instagram and loved it so much that I made my own effeminate version 💅xo
In February @prattinstitute used to have events to promote healthy relationships of all kinds, and would host nights of sexual education and discussions around mental health. So as February winds up I've been thinking about the stigma around sexual education. Let's have it promote consent. Let's have it promote respect. Let's have it encourage healthy choices. We should invite more face-to-face conversations with knowledgeable professionals rather than resorting to yahoo answers for help... xo

I've been reflecting upon this notion recently and what it means in the classroom, in the work place and in the government. xo
I’ve been taking some time to update my portfolio and the changes are now live. All constructive criticism and glowing reviews welcome! 😜 xo
You are not entitled to my body. Mixed media. 2017.
In 2013, when online dating was still seen as a stigma, it was reported that 42% of women (in comparison to 17% of men) have been the recipients of “uncomfortable or bothersome” messages (Pew Research Center). Between 2013 and 2015, the number of 18-24 year olds using dating sites rose from 10% to 27%, the largest increase of any age group (Pew). So, as dating apps have become more normalized from 2015-2017, it’s not a far reach for me to assume that the number of young adults using these apps and the number of unwanted messages received by young adults have both increased quite a bit.
If you don’t interact with young men online as potential romantic or sexual partners, I suggest you take a look at the Tumblr called “Straight White Boys Texting,” which is not limited to straight white men, and all shown messages are legitimate and happen to almost everyone who has ever been pursued on any form of digital media. If you were to ask anyone interested in men in the 18-24 age group, they would probably tell you that receiving aggressively sexual messages or pictures is normal and just to be expected. It’s written off as one of those “boys will be boys” attitudes we just accept as a society. Might as well change that blog name to “Boys say the darndest things,” because this behavior is often treated as a joke. (If you want to see the effects of these encounters on girls who are exposed to these kinds of messages early on, I highly suggest reading “American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers” by Nancy Jo Sales.)
I polled my social media networks and asked for examples of this, moments when men crossed the line from a potential prospect to a super creep (as you can see quoted in the piece above.) I think a lot about how our media affects this behavior: how what’s shown on social media, what’s printed in magazines, how movies and TV show interactions between men and women can all impact our normalization of particular aspects of our society. With this in mind, the background is made of a wallpaper of the notorious Cosmo sex positions, featuring cute little graphics and cheesy descriptions of how to have sex. (Although often, when women have as much sex as men are expected to, they are seen as “sluts”). Layered over it are images of contraceptives: condoms, diaphragms, and a birth control packet with little hearts where the pills used to be. (However, these magazines hardly ever discuss with their young and influential audience the serious side effects of taking hormones year round.) On the bottom is the [airbrushed] naked body of a woman that was being used to sell a fragrance in whatever publication I ripped her from. Bottom left is an image I felt really epitomized my own experiences dating: date one person a few times and imply interest, but always have your hand/your eyes on someone else who has the potential to be more interesting than the person you’re out to dinner with. (This was more out of self preservation than anything else, as I knew that the guy I was currently seeing would eventually stop talking to me for someone else. They say this is a learned side effect of having access to millions of people at your fingertips, which results in “ghosting” from both men and women.) Finally, posturing over all of this is our pal, that “fuccboi” we’ve all met, who truly believes that because he bought you a drink and listened to you talk for over an hour about what you do and where you’re from and why you moved here he is allowed to ask, “well the real question is would you get naked with me?”
Pretty amazed at how painterly Procreate can be, especially considering it's just an iPad app!
