Hi there gang, now that we have pinned posts, I'm Rake.
I'm a queer, hobbyist artist from the UK.
I love the design trappings of 1970s p*rnochic but without any of the hangups. So if you love comics, disco, fashion & gay stuff then say hello & maybe chuck me a tip? Tysm 🤠

A mock magazine cover featuring a self portrait of the artist wearing shades and a blue denim jacket over a white tee, whilst holding a red drinking flask. The phrase "Meet The Artist" is atop in large font as the magazine title.

A mock movie poster depicting a stylish black woman with a blonde afro, a bikini top and orange flares standing over a cityscape with flames behind her. The Title "Chewing Toffy is overlaid in a retro font".

A mock western style movie poster featuring a woman in cowboy/western attire standing over a desert environment. The title "The Mirage" is overlaid. This is technically fanart of an X-men character.

A mock erotic, pulp book cover displaying a muscular man in his underwear, wearing a brown cowboy hat and suggestive belts. The title "Raw Hide" is overlaid.

Mmmm yes, I like the idea that he can intuit body language and therefore be a shrewd observer

Giving zombie Negasonic Teenage Warhead a giant chest is fucking crazy though.

Rake @pastelrake.bsky.social · 1d

Necrosha is an *almost perfect event as it's a fun concept, entirely self contained, campy & borrows from Horror movie tropes, something I think the franchise excels at. Its flaws are the resolution & that Selene & Emma never spoke.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

I drew a couple Meowths for
@pokeearthcollab.bsky.social's Meowth collab, which is also a fundraiser for cancer which you should totally check out! I tried to mimic the visual style of their original appearances a bit, so I hope they turned out okay!!!

It's 2006, I'm wearing a blue banana purchased, distressed billabong long sleeved tee with what can only be described as pink chest hair thread on it, my fringe straightened to one side & Sing The Sorrow on loop in my CD Walkman.

I've loved AFI since my sister gave me Art of Drowning back in 2002. They've flirted with new wave a bunch since then & I'm now so excited to listen.

Katelyn 🅅 Medusfour @medus4.com · 6d

Omg new AFI album is exactly what my soul needed.

It's about time davey havoc went full new wave- he's got that voice, it's perfect.
New album sounds like it could have been made in the 80s, with Robert smith co producing

He's doing really well in terms of his messaging & I hope it inspires others.
