Don’t Get Lost (2020)

I got watercolours for Christmas ayoooo

They’re so good broooo😭🤌

It’s been so long since I’ve used watercolours lmao it’s crazy, I didn’t think I would have this much fun tbh

I practiced with some paint and watercolor today

This is based off of a story my deceased grandfather told me when I was little, now that I’m older I’ve heard of some similar title like brother sun and sister moon. But in the story he always called them sister sun and brother moon. He died when I was 4, or maybe 6… but I think of him all the time and every time I think of this story…

draw suggest: herrah and/or monomon~?

Dabbled in some watercolor and brush pen on this request

Spider Knight, Her name is Vita (lowkey the antagonist god)

Water colour on non water colour paper, how fun. The sketch honestly looked a lot better than with the colour in my opinion but what can you do I need practice

The hand on the left had changed so many times I debated removing it entirely. They don’t even look like their in the same style, why is Amerie’s head so much bigger than Mairwyn’s

op doodles again

I recently started reading manga, I love this strong girl

It’s from a while ago but I still really like how it turned out😋

Through the pain, we can bloom

'Medusa' Angela Hadrill [crop]

This piece was created in response to an amazing talk “Women in Power” by Mary Beard in which, among other things, she discusses the origins of the medusa myth and its depictions in modern design.

You can listen to the talk here: https://youtu.be/VGDJIlUCjA0?t=33m23s

"There are many ancient variations on Medusa’s story. One famous version has her as a beautiful woman raped by Poseidon in a temple of Athena, who promptly transformed her, as punishment for the sacrilege, into a monstrous creature with a deadly capacity to turn to stone anyone who looked at her face. (...) This is the classic myth in which the dominance of the male is violently reasserted against the illegitimate power of the woman. And Western literature, culture and art have repeatedly returned to it in those terms. The bleeding head of Medusa is a familiar sight among our own modern masterpieces, often loaded with questions about the power of the artist to represent an object at which no one should look." Beard, 2017

Medusa is constantly being depicted as object rather than subject, as a decapitated head rather than a powerful woman. She is reduced, both literally and figuratively, to a faceless being that can't be looked at and that has had their agency stripped away from them.

The narrative should be changed. She wasn't alone, she had two equally strong sisters. Being transformed was not her curse, it was a representation of her strength. She wasn't a monster, she was powerful and it was that which was feared.
