Happy valentine's eve! #valentines #valentinesart #nsfwart

Here's some of the scribbles I've done recently - including a self portrait. Also, I've drawn an actual original piece for Valentines that I am excited to share!! #Sketching #DigitalSketch #KinkPositive #FetishFashion #Latex #ShibariArt #AlternativeArt #SupportArtists #SpicyArt #EdgyArt

Recently, tapped into a bit of creativity. I've been trying to do something for a specific purpose, but slowly realised that as much as I want to release on a schedule, that ain't happening

Playing 'Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League' it's fascinating. The game looks and runs great, the characters and story are interesting, it's genuinely funny in places, there's been a couple of cool set pieces.

Psst. Dj/Mash up friends. I bet "APT." By ROSÉ and Bruno Mars mixes well with "Come out and play" by The Offspring.

A new drawing inspired by the iconic Brent Man! Really embracing the cartoon-mixed-with-shiny aesthetic. So - now that I've found my style - should I continue? Who should I draw if so? I still plan to pivot to other creative stuff, but this clicking feels pretty cool.

Deserved. Just an absolute joy of a game.

Happy New Year all! I'm gonna make my new years #resolutions as follows: * Continue to embrace being an authentic version of myself * Try to be the best husband and father I can * Tackle my music project that I've been talking about for ages * Post more and make friends :) What about you?

I'm sorry, but is this the best drawing I've ever done, or what?! Inspired by @addrooby.bsky.social - , I hope she doesn't mind (happy to tag or delete the post if she'd like). I said I'm not going to draw much anymore, but this style clicked with me. Anything I do draw will be like this going fwd

#storytime My last band had split up due to internal tensions. After a few things, I decided to make a new thing. I'm not a terrifying front man, so wanted something lighter. I created 'The Polyester Overdose' - combining metal tech with post hard-core punk. This artwork is by Dean Eberhard. 1/2

Here's a solo to one of the songs I've written. Trying to cover a few different styles with this passion project of mine :) The draw back is always the singing. Having to do that myself suuuuuucks.

I'm trying to get back into my music. This is one of my first goes at an #orchestral arrangement. Since, it's been accompanied by guitars and blast beats 🤣 #composer #composing #music #orchestra #metal

When you think you are still punk, but really, only look edgy approx. 1% of the time.

Thankful that there are 11 letters in 'Sausage Roll' rather than 7. Don't think I could handle the ladbaby cover of 'Hot To Go'.

Watched #TheSubstance last night. Man, it's an uncomfortable watch - in the best way. It's symbolism is very blunt and obvious - but that adds to the anxiety. You know before the characters do what is inevitable, and you cant help but watch it unfold. Very dark feminist satirical body horror. 5/5

So, that's some content. Now, I'm gonna post whatever. My music creation process, thoughts on media - whatever! Is my take important? Nah. But the idea of social media being the cool place where people *conversed* is appealing, and gosh, I wanna be involved.

OK, last art dump! This has been a nice trip down memory lane. Pictures are: 1) A vintage cartoon inspired pic inspired by #danidivine 2) An attempt at a cartoon of #friskyandmannish 3) #kratos from #GodofWar, but like, this. 4) Finally, a portrait of my muse. She also got drawn all wonky like.

Kinda dumb, but since posting on bksy, not worrying about separating posts into a drawing account or music account - I've realised all these parts of me are part of the whole. It's freeing - it was a limitation I put on myself. I'm now taking steps to be authentically me. #overthinking but #happy

Another day another bit of #content. Some more edited drawings I did a while back to chill out. Two of these models are on the skeeting BlueSky (or however we refer to this) - @purplemuffinz.bsky.social and @kittykat8311.bsky.social Also posted are Pansy St Battie and Freya Vintage

Something a bit different for today's #content A while back me and two buddies, Ben and @l1ber0s1s.bsky.social jammed and made this cannibal corpse inspired bit of #metal We haven't revisited it since, but it's overdue The vocals are yours truly. Mostly a guitar guy, but when needs must...

Having a fresh start on social media has shown me a few things I'll share separately. Here's a fan art of @kassandraleigh.bsky.social - an incredible artist, in many different disciplines. Their costumes always look incredible. When they post, I'm excited to see what new awesomeness they have made

Today's look back due to needing content on BSky - I have no idea how this happened but I wish every drawing I did turned out like these! One was a dtiys thing for @sveta_has and the other was an attempt to draw a more cartoon approach!

Not many male models appeared on my feeds. Brent Man did however. He's regularly rocking full rockabilly suits made of latex, dancing - being his authentic self. I drew this inspired by him, and it's technically unfinished. I just could not capture how cool he is!

That new #Opeth album. Corr. I've dug the retro prog stuff, but there's something magic about adding the death metal back in.

This pic of Emily Barnard will always be 1 of my favs. She asked if I'd like to draw her, which was a first! She's a great person, and we still speak via social media now. Never felt like a real artist, but doing this introduced creative people that I'm still in contact with and following.

On my first trip to London, I found a magazine in a shop that reminded me of Bizarre - which was focused on alt culture, and often had latex fashion. It was called Marquis, and was... not as broad in its topics. But the outfits - were amazing! An ad of with model Kristina Deetox inspired this.

After looking back on my doodles, I'm gonna share some in b&w for something new in the name of 'content'. This is a picture inspired by Jazz artist Gunhild Carling - she's a phenomenon. Saw her open for Postmodern Jukebox and her presence was unreal. One of the best concerts I've ever seen

Last thing I finished was this pic of Catwoman, based on Julie Newmar's character from the old tv show. It's still a bit wonky, but heh. You gotta do things and fail to get better.

A while back, I used to try and draw pin-up style fan art of models I followed. I've been fascinated by Alternative & Fetish fashion for years. I was going through some stuff and drawing calmed me down. Therefore, this? I wasn't very good at it, but sometimes I got close to the mark.

As I have no clue how to get started with this, here's my interests to find like minded folk: Video Games: Love me some action games, fps (but I suck at multilayer), and some RPGs, but Mario Kart will always be my first love

As I have no clue how to get started with this, here's my interests to find like minded folk: Music: Grew up on punk and metal, was part of a few bands in my youth. Mostlyout of it now but still recording my own rock and metal at a snails pace, and still love a big dirty riff :)
