“Be Gay, Do Crimes: Portrait of Allen and Nick”, 2025, Acrylic on Panel, 11” x 14”. Commissioned Portrait. If interested in an original hand created Langley artwork of your own, DM me. I’d love to create something special for you. 💖 #art #gayart #painting #fatart #chub #gaybear #gaybearart #pool

Allen and Nick wanted something that showed off their new home in Palm Springs and the backyard, which is ready at anytime for a fabulous gay disco 🪩 pool party. The title is lifted from Allen’s incredible chest tattoo. I had so much fun playing with this vibrant color pallette and I would love to paint more pieces like this in the future.

Andrew Farmer, host of “Scary Stories to Tell on the Pod”, created these haunting #NYC tales, that I got to illustrate. Each tale takes the reader on path, a journey, a subway ride through the dark scary side of N.Y.C. Click here to read them all: scarystoriestoreadonthesubway.tumblr.com

It was such an honor to be asked by the brilliant author @andimjulie.bsky.social to create artwork for her 10th Anniversary of her bestselling book #DUMPLIN’. TY again Julie for having me be a part of your fabulous celebration. 🦋✨⭐️💕 #yanovel #fatliberation #books #dollyparton #kidlit #kidlitart

Julie gave me lots of freedom to depict Willowdean but only asked to have her in the iconic pose based on the original cover. I knew just the version of Willowdean and scene I wanted to illustrate. One of my favorite moments in the story is where she performs her magic and enchants the crowd in the talent portion of the pageant. I wanted to depict Willowdean in her rhinestone outfit, a glitter butterfly in her hair (a nod to her love of Dolly Parton) as she performs to “Here You Come Again” (a #1 personal fave of mine), throwing streamers and confetti into the crowd.

If you haven’t read DUMPLIN’, do yourself a favor and READ it. It will tug on your heart strings. It was a game changer for body positivity and trailblazing in its positive depiction of a fat main character in a book. It was even made into a film starring @jenniferaniston and @daniellemacdonald, with music by @dollyparton herself.

I realized that I haven’t done a GUS hand piece in a while. I was in Massachusetts and came across this perfect patch of daises on my path. I love the juxtaposition of a chubby hand holding a freshly picked, delicate daisy. It inspired me.

Excited to share this commissioned artwork “Portrait of Michael and Bailey”, 2025, Acrylic on Panel, 8” X 10”. If you are interested in a Langley portrait of your own, DM me. I’d love to create something special for you. 🎨🖌️🖼️ #art #gayart #gaybearart #queerart #queerartist #acrylicpaint #lgbtqart

Bailey was a beautiful and beloved companion to @michael and @matthew. Bailey enjoyed being at their side, jumping in snow, lazing around and hiking the trails. She was both lazy and energetic, and always there to love and to be loved. Matthew described her as the definition of “Man’s Best Friend”and wanted to gift Michael a portrait showing their beautiful connection.💖⭐️✨
