Pig part 2. I PROMISE my boobs are taped up don't take this downnn (masking tape I had nothing else)

My small attempt at performing. Recorded over about 3 nights. A big reason I'm doing bedroom drag solely right now is cause of the intensity of my disability. Drag for me is like an ultimate answer to complex ptsd, it's a way to take up space, exist in the world and to double down on the feelings of inhumanity I've been left with. it feels almost too good to try perform, I ended up gasping for air within a minute a time. My nervous system gets itself into knots about big feelings, good or bad, it immediately sets off nerve pain and fatigue. that and also understanding my own relationship with movement < guy with some kinda undiagnosed developmental motor condition < guy who only knows that because of constant ableism and bullying growing up. Makes for an ugly package. You know how it all feeds into itself. But I'll perform one day when I can stomach it safely, even if it's never good or skillful or graceful. If I forget my steps and I trip over myself years into it, if I move and gasp like it's my first day in my body. That's just what it will have to be.

song is Avalanches by jordaan mason & the horse museum.

Tribute to one of the most important albums in my life for the past several years. 'Divorce lawyers I shaved my head' by Jordaan Mason & the horse museum. Details taken off their band camp which you should check out. The album is quite heavy, sexually explicit so be warned. But it is also so phenomenal and speaks to me like a death rattle. Completely frantic and evocative, and beautiful like crashing plates. Turns the line between sex, gender, and relationships into a terrible groaning paste, unable to identify where you and someone else began, unable to tell what you are at all. I was also going to use a horse but I fell in love with a wild boar instead.

I'd like to dirty this outfit up more in the future, too. The dress, under skirt and broken old docs I had already. The socks and apron I made out of a ruffled thrifted pillow case. 🐗

Thank you for making art and creating what you do. Genuinely your art and stories have helped me shape my own in ways that let me say things I would never be able to say with my own mouth, using all of them as puppets and toys to talk through and soft through my mountain of shit. Recently I've found out that I have NPD and my struggles have been huge this whole time because of that. I think about the OAU zine all the time, I go back and look at it about once a month and try to show it to my friends in person and gloat about how much I appreciate your art and knack for story telling in ways that strike chords deep in my heart when I thought it was an empty shell. You have appeared in my dreams from time to time and I always say the same things about admiring your work and then we sit and draw next to each other before you get on your way. I got into looking at alt drag because of your art, and I got more comfortable making things that blur the lines between disgust and glamor so much that I see incongruence as god-hood. I will forever admire your work and the idea of you as someone who exists in the world even if I will never know you personally. I see your art and the pain that crafted it and the sublime beauty that bloats it like a very wonderful corpse until it bursts and gives life to millions of things everyone ignores. Thank you for showing me that I can be a transsexual man-freak-thing, it's the best gift I could've ever received in life

FALLS TO THE FLOOR. RHGRRAGGHHHHHHHH.....URUGGHHHHH. This is so outstandingly sweet, and also crazy, thank you, punches myself in the head over and over and o. I love the way you wrote this, I love the bloated corpse musing. Congrats on your diagnosis too, it's hard learning about gigantic things like that, it explains so much but it's also kinda horrifying getting a bigger picture on yourself. I hope it'll lead to things being easier though. and that's crazy, uoa is a project I hardly think about anymore, I wasn't super in love with how it turned out, and I kinda rushed a lot of it just so I could get it out before the impulse left me. I'm glad it could impact you.

MORE INFO BELOW

______________________

WHAT TO EXPECT

Hit me up with what you're interested in, after getting your refs or thoughts we can organize the payment. Once the payment's through I'll get started! Turn around is around a week, ideally sooner but my ability to work fluctuates greatly due to disability. You can give me particular poses, vibes or expressions you're after and I'll do my best to achieve that. I don't do alterations or progress updates, you'll receive the full piece when it's done. Will make minor edits if I missed some key design element (except for the minis, which I will normally simplify). Pieces are yours to post afterwards, I'll also ask for permission to post it as an example. I normally take about 2-3 commissions at a time, these aren't strict slots and more a casual accommodation for myself. When I'm finished with those I'll be bumping this post for new people.

CUSTOM DESIGNS

Rough grouping for designs. Exact price will fluctuate a bit depending on what you want, also subject to change since I haven't done design commissions in a WHILE. Humanoid characters or anthros with outfits will cost more. We'll need to chat a bit more for designs but once it's all settled, it'll work similar to my usual commissions. I'll go away and draw it up, and come back with the final result for you. Character is entirely yours to do whatever with afterwards.

Feral designs $30

Monsters $40

Anthros $60

Humanoids $65 (clothed)
