Hiii! I’m Ripley, a lesbian illustrator making art and comics celebrating #butchfemme love. I’m brand new on here and would love to have some cool queer art mutuals !!

Hi, I’m Ripley

I’m a cartoonist, illustrator, and muralist specializing in sapphic art. I’m drawn to fairytale motifs, southwestern imagery, and vintage style. I make mostly autobiographical comic zines and do freelance editorial work! Let’s connect!

Gonna be real, I hate e-commerce. I hate selling things online so so bad. I’ve taken over 5 months off selling on Etsy, and have recently started to sell my clothes and it’s honestly kinda freeing to sell something I didn’t put my whole soul into.

All the Passion Tax posts today make it so clear to me that people across plenty of industries want to make things, solve problems, and provide care, and it’s just that not one guy from the “nobody wants to work these days” camp wants to pay for that work.

People are sooo misogynistic about my art. I’ll stew on this some more and write something proper about it but god do people hate any touch of whimsy in art in formal and academic settings

any time you mask around other people can help. it doesn't have to be all or nothing, if that intimidates you. ESPECIALLY if you try to mask where people MUST be. doctors offices, grocery store, pharmacy, etc. they're all trying to kill us. you gotta do what you can to make their attempts fail

Just kidding at a real drag show you should mask up and keep your clothes on unless it’s part of the act.

From a mini comic I’ve been working on in what little free time I have!
#cartoonist #butchfemme #sapphic #comic #lesbianart #officeyuri

A femme lesbian in a blazer and mini skirt with a dark teeny tiny bob sits at her desk typing on a computer while looking over at a butch lesbian in a suit and tie who is talking to a bearded man wearing a white shirt and bolo tie. The man is holding a stack of paperwork. The text reads “and then you came along..”

For any artists dealing with adult content bans, I want to encourage you to get involved in the sex worker rights movement. While illustration is not the same as sex work, we share many of the same struggles, and our fights will be stronger if we collaborate.
