It’s June and I have more perverted gay shit to draw

It’s June baby! This one is for the lezzies. Lesbians have taught me and given me everything. The freaks, the lovers, the fighters. I never feel more at home and understood than in a group of brash, degenerate, truth-slinging lesbians. You have my heart.

a tattoo flash sheet. the background is collaged with pictures of lesbians and leather fetish images. The flash are as follows: an engineer boot, a high heel with a hanky around the ankle, hands putting on leather gloves, a lock on a chain, the word “dyke” in gothic font, a hand holding a carabiner with the word “dyke” across the knuckles, the words “sexual repression causes corruption”, a figure clad in a leather jacket holding a cigarette, pictured from behind.

something just for fun. We have to simplify a lot for longevity in tattoos so it’s nice to work on something more detailed sometimes

a pen illustration of three women gathered. One is dressed as a nun, the second as a knight, the third in more dressy renaissance (? i think?) dress. The three seem to be in a tense moment. The drawing is unfinished.

Perfect day yesterday giving my emotionally adopted gay daughter tattoos and steak on her 19th birthday. Sunshine, tattoos, steak, ice cream. Absolutely lovely.

Another banger for @stargazersasha.bsky.social ! Tattoo by me, but lines/artwork from Sasha’s friend.

A fresh hip tattoo. It is an illustrative drawing of the Mario character Bowser. He is sitting in a seductive kneeling pose with his hands behind his head. It shows off his body hair, curves, and stretch marks. Surrounding Bowser are hearts, stars, flames, and sparkles.

a pencil drawing of a figure wrapped up in a sheet. the figure looks haggard, drooling and snotty; covered in sweat with their tousled. text next to them reads “sexual repression causes destruction”.

I can’t express how much this project is a dream project for me. Lengthy character details, references, sketches, came together to create this handsome warrior! Thank you Sasha! Next week we get to add his boyfriend~ Thank you for bringing me this dream project and for returning time and again.

a torso tattoo of a centaur with a bow. The tattoo is illustrative in style. the centaur is shaded dark with a full dark beard and thick body hair. he is slightly in movement with an open expression approaching the center of the body.

Been very bad about posting what I’m up to here but this weekend (fri-sat) I will be tattooing at the Punk Rock Flea Market in Seattle! I will have these new flash alongside all my previous flash. See you there!

a page of lineart colored in with abstract splatters of color. the lineart depicts a surreal, toothy tongue. a poofed up scared cat. a classic reaper with a hood. a hand holding a carabiner, the hand has the letters “D Y K E” on the knuckles. a disembodied floating, crying, woman’s head with long flowing hair. lastly, an elk’s head being pierced by stars.

#10 Little Murders Elliot Gould is one of the funniest guys to ever do it. Based on a play by the same name! This sort of surrealist comedy is my fave!

#9 Rock does a pretty good job here. I think it’s funny to use a bunch of guys playing themselves who are 25 years older than they were, and not actors, but these guys talk really stiffly in real life, so their bad acting kinda…is how they are irl…so idk.

#8 2.5/5 Not really sure what the point of this movie is other than anti-defense attorney propaganda lmfao but I’m glad Al Pacino had a nice time. He’s acting his 5’6” ass off. Take a shot every time he makes a wide eye boogeyman face at the camera. Also Charlize Theron is TWENTY TWO here.

#3 Belly Not too sure about the plot being entirely coherent but it doesn’t really matter cuz this is one of the most visually striking movies I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame Hype never worked on almost any other movies because every scene of this is so impressively staged/shot it blew my mind.

#2 Do The Right Thing I love Spike Lee’s ability to make a movie that feels like a play. Killer soundtrack, killer acting. Spike Lee has this awesome way of dropping you into an ecosystem of characters and disarming you with a good time until the third acts of his movies where he rocks your shit.

for all the mythical beast fans out there🐉🫛

a digital illustration of the bust of a mythical dragon/like beast. the beast has two horns and four eyes—though only two are visible. the beast is in shades of teal, and its long tongue snakes out of its fanged lips. it has floppy rabbit-like ears. the beast looks playful and smirks. the beast is framed by a zig-zagging black arched frame that has green beans and sparkles adorning it. the background of the image is in a flat rust color.

Very inspired by tales of old lesbians saying they never had a word to describe each other, or knew how to ask if each other was gay, that they just “knew”.

a pen illustration of two people locking eyes. the image is drawn closeup, so that only the eyes and nose of each person is viewable. between their gaze sparks fly.

On the leather Miss Piggy’s stomach, she has a tattoo that reads “Dyke”
