Death objects to life on purely aesthetic grounds
some fruit studies! I always come back to fruit whenever I’m feeling uninspired. Fruit is prettier than you or me usually. These are more experiments with the pencil/digital combo.\n.\n.\n.\n#sketchbook #illustration #drawing #fruitstudy #healthyeating
thinking about pokemon some more, I remembered this weird detail that I think I’ve told to a few of you: for all of my childhood I only ever caught pokemon marked male, with the “ ♂️” symbol next to their names. And I was the catch’em all style player, which means I was making a space of thousands of rowdy boys across multiple generations. This is especially odd given that later on and through the present I do the exact opposite, and always feel more comfortable in feminized spaces.
In hindsight, I’m not sure what it means that I intentionally cut out any signs of femininity–I’m reading about digital avatars and thinking, If the pokemon team as a whole was a receptacle for my consciousness, then as a child moving thru the space of gender formation I was practicing masculinity in a very small symbolic form, reinscribing what is a kind of rejection of anything arbitrarily marked “ ♀️” . This might be obvious but it’s funny to think of it happening at this small scale. IDK more thoughts on digital avatars later, for now here’s 3 confused starters while I’m beginning to think about it
thinking about dunsparce today, the ugliest creature, worst pokemon, frustrating to find....I see much in them that I see in myself........
It’s my best friend, the old faithful, peegachu
hope it’s not too late to post my Metsona! I studied and put together influence from several different major religious works to create this look.

some vicious and scared creatures
A couple inktobers from this week! In order: Divided, Sword, Poison, Long. I try to do something new with each one, but all involve Speedball Superblack ink at some point in the process
a bunch of people, and the tiger that they are all somehow related to.
