Shoutout To The Slow Artists. The Artists With Hardly Any Time For Art. The Artists Who Reach The End

shoutout to the slow artists. the artists with hardly any time for art. the artists who reach the end of the day with no energy for art. you got this i believe in you and you are no less valued than anyone else

I’m currently taking the Art Portfolio course at my school and I wanted to share my work for our first project!

The project was to make 3-5 pieces from a word. My word was grotesque.

I had close to finished these two before our student teacher came up to me and asked me to look for things with a deeper understanding of the word instead of just going surface level. So these two have no real meanings other than I wanted to draw them.

This one has a somewhat personal and deep meaning to me; as a trans person somedays I’ll look in the mirror and be confused at who I’m looking at. “That person in the mirror isn’t me, I look more masculine and they obviously look like a feminine figure.” It was as if I was looking at a completely different person, like the body I lived in and used was a grotesque disfiguration of my actual self.

When this idea came to me I had a completely different sketch and everything of how it would look. The meaning behind this is that I used to be a big hoarder, collecting and keeping food wrappers and papers and plastic. I almost never threw things out, it felt to weird and icky to do. No one really noticed it because I hid my hoarding of trash but it always felt like someone would find it and tell me I was grotesque + weird for keeping that type of stuff.

I also have my page I planned this stuff out with (thumbnails and rough designs) if y’all would like to see any of that.
