Embroidery Piece For My Mom.

I’ve decided this will actually be my test weave... gonna start the whole thing over because I have brainworms.

All this work and I’ve concluded I’m gonna have to cut it up to harvest some of the yarn for the next one! The custom multicolor yarns that I made. The issue is those plain weave sections are uhhhh almost 4 ft long. If I reduce the number of picks, I can reduce the length of the plain weave section by half and have a lot more room for cool stuff.

This piece came about as an attempt to visually depict how I experience music. Possibly due to my Autism, I do not seem to listen to/experience music the way other people I have discussed this topic with experience music. I recognize that there is an underlying meter, a rhythm, a beat, that allows a person to "follow the music;" the beat is also what people follow when they dance. I can force myself to identify and follow a beat, but it requires significant concentration on my part, is not what comes naturally to me, and is not how I enjoy listening to music. My attention often skips back and forth between different sounds, following the bass sounds for several moments because I enjoy that specific section, then switching focus to the crescendo of a violin, to the sound of the singer's voice, the drums, back to violin, bass, voice, a new sound.

By connecting colors, patterns, and material to specific aspects of a musical piece, I have attempted to create a depiction of my experience of the music.

(I also decided to leave the edges of the different photos I took, to give an impression of the number of images needed to create a decent representation of this weaving.)

I’ve finished moving apartments and my repetitive stress injury has improved enough that I can actually do some painting.

I have a new comic -- a real, physical one -- up for sale on my Etsy!

It’s $6 + shipping, and you get a sticker!

Because I have brainworms and want to infect everyone I can with them, I will be posting the whole thing here but the draw for the hard copy is a pretty color cover! And a sticker!

Read the whole thing below the cut and then maybe buy a copy.

Sketches for an in-progress Topical Comic about cis people being cast to play trans people.

As a trans guy who was raised in the theater and has a mom who’s an actress I have lots of Opinions on this subject.

To the right, you can see my mom when she was a Dolly Parton impersonator. And when she was in a Greek tragedy and shaved an inch off her hairline to recreate Greek hairstyles. And when she was in Candide.
