Closet Hippie (comms open) @closethippie.bsky.social · May 14

Influence map challenge for the @ohkaycafe.bsky.social server featuring what I’ve drawn inspiration from most in 2025. #meme #influence #closethippie #ohkaycafe

A collage of pictures on an orange and yellow page. The top text reads “Closet Hippie’s influence map”. The pictures (left to right top to bottom) are Ramona Flowers from the series “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off”, the cartoon characters Panty and Stocking, Closet Hippie (the artist’s recent chibi self portrait), a photo of two women in tank tops and bell bottom jeans sitting on a yellow and brown Firebird car, 3 characters from the show “Rings of Power”, a vintage looking red fairy drawing, and an illustration of a woman in a white dress holding a feather by Alphonse Mucha. The text on each image corresponds to what the image portrays.

#art #noai #pickitup #trend
I used to doodle on scrap paper with cheap pens far more than I drew “proper” in my sketchbooks with art supplies. If I grew up poor and was drawing the whole time, I don’t want to hear about A/I making art “accessible” there’s a girl who paints with her feet ffs

A scratchy drawing of a fist holding a pen. The drawing seems to be on the back of a shopping receipt, and made with pens and highlighters. There’s Asian letters blocked out dramatically on the left, and bubble letters saying AI with a circle around it and a line through it. In large letters, there’s the words “PICK IT UP!” The smaller handwriting reads (top to bottom, left to right): Hours of fun for pennies, You can get free paper + pen anywhere!, Pens $1 Notebook $1, No excuses! Disabled/impoverished can do it, @ closet hippie.

Little trans pikachu I did on Magma with @ohkaycafe.bsky.social 🥰

Felt very relevant given the current issues trans people are facing in the UK after the Supreme Court decision earlier this week.

#pokemon #transart #queerart #transrights #transpikachu #artsky #lgbtqia

Digital drawing of a yellow trans Pikachu with dark brown tips on the ears. On her tail is a heart shape that’s been attached by two little white strips. She had a pink bow by her right ear. She’s winking with a big smile on her face. She’s holding a small trans flag. There are little white sparkles around her and the background is red and orange.

Tools and materials - honestly everything just relies on my trusty iPad and Procreate 😂 to think that a little over a year ago I was determined to hate iPads but I’m absolutely a convert

#marchmeetthemaker

A photo of an iPad with a teal protector case and a white Apple Pencil attached. The iPad is covered in stickers - a shiny Espeon and Jolteon drawn as aliens, a bisexual and asexual paw print, an autism creature hammerhead shark with confetti and “yippee!!”, my “trans people are perfect” whale shark, a worm on a string wrapped around a pencil with “I am god” written on it, and a sticker from the Queer Emporium with “protect our safe spaces”. The iPad is laying on a black and white cushion.

#finishedartfriday #art here have an updated version of my male persona.

A digital drawing of a man with long, dark hair, holding the drawing frame. He wears a pink mesh shirt, a cropped shirt reading “Dost thou even hoist, sir?”, Tripp pants, a corset wristband, chains, and lots of jewelry. He reaches towards the viewer while sitting against a cybernetic backdrop. The text reads “Lee V2”
