grad school has helped me level up my procrastination skills

while avoiding reading and homework, I taught myself how to use Sculptris and created a bust of a character for a huge sprawling comic that may never actually happen!

I’m pretty pleased, what with this being my first sculpt and all.

(# ^ __ ^#)

you’re welcome!

Thanks to @panic-volkushka your comic and the free doodle.

I enjoin anyone seeing this to check out his work, great stuff. Check out his Etsy, he has comics like these.

Thanks again and a sweet new year. 💜

So I'm a huge nerd and I made a huge playlist of songs that give me feels about being transgender and queer. I take my playlists very seriously and put a ridiculous amount of time and effort into choosing and arranging the songs.

Warning -- some of these songs contain lyrics that have sexual content, violent content, mentions of sexual abuse, and content that may trigger dysphoria. Also, some of these bands or musicians have done some shitty things, and while I like their work, I don't approve of what they've done (Amanda Palmer, The Sex Pistols, Glen Danzig, Die Antwoord, I'm looking at you).

Listen to it here: Monster Queer

1. Woe to the Man Who is Different - Richard Peaslee (from "Marat/Sade") 2. Sex Changes - The Dresden Dolls 3. Body - Mother Mother 4. Kick Ass - MIKA vs RedOne 5. Respect Me - Khia 6. I Fink U Freeky - Die Antwoord 7. XXXO - M.I.A. 8. Mr. Spock - Nerf Herder 9. Dust to Dust - The Misfits 10. Son of No One - NEGATION 11. Ends. Endings. - O' God the White Whale 12. The Snake &... - Oxbow 13. Smear The Queen - Xiu Xiu 14. We're Not Gonna Take It - The Who 15. I Did It My Way - The Sex Pistols 16. You're Gonna Miss Me - Roky Erickson 17. Rejoice - Andrew Jackson Jihad 18. Dr. Troll - Xiu Xiu 19. o jarhead! o wife! - jordaan mason & the horse museum 20. For Today I Am a Boy - Antony & The Johnsons 21. Beautiful Boyz - CocoRosie 22.

the cover image is a mash-up of alchemical imagery from "The Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine" and the "Rosarium Philosophorum."

Anonymous said: i really care about your doctor hill comic... i i i know it's viral now so you probably have a lot of asks like this, but i watched all those shows growing up and it made me feel like it was normal for me to be mistreated. especially as a little gay kid. seeing the narrative flipped was... extremely cathartic. i think i'm gonna go to therapy            

Thank you so much for taking the time to write me such a kind message. I’m glad you connected to the comic and I wish you all the best! I hope you’re able to find a kind, respectful therapist. And if the therapist you find ISN’T doing it for you: Ditch ‘em and get a better one.

Anonymous said: hey i know u've gotten a few asks along these lines but i really digged ur therapist bobby comic. i have experienced a lot of trauma and want to become a therapist who works thru trauma w ppl. and idk the comic was just very oddly soothing. i hope all the queers can find peace. thank you 💘            

Thank you! I hope you find peace too and good luck on your journey, whether or not that journey involves becoming a therapist. A good therapist can make such a difference in someone’s life.

Anonymous said: Bobby Hill becoming a therapist is the best idea ever!!!!! I love your comic about Bart and Chris 💖💕            

Thanks!! I really think Bobby would be a good therapist.

Did painting today and yesterday; pausing for now because my arm and shoulder are hurting.

Another painting in progress

Well, my "Hannibal" piece didn't get accepted to Banquet, which sucks because I worked really hard on this and I think it turned out really well.

On the positive side, I have an illustration that I worked really hard on and it turned out really well!

I was inspired by sweetmeats -- food made from offal, such as intestines, testicles and the thymus -- and floral china plates.

Also, I learned that Hugh Dancy is really fucking hard to draw. Mads Mikkelsen has such a distinctive face that he's rather easy to draw, but with Hugh, if you get some detail just a little bit off, it doesn't look like him anymore.
