introducing LIVES OF THE ARTISTS, a trans riff on the myth of the renaissance

(the comic isn't straight smut, but smut will be included)

this is page one!

Page one of a comic called "Lives of the Artists." In the first panel, we see a blind-folded angel flying over a densely-wooded forest. The angel is holding a spear. In the second panel, the angel shrinks as he flies into the distance. Meanwhile, a sound effect emerges from the trees: "huff."

my old post about the borghese hermaphrodite is going around again so here’s another fascinating piece in the louvre, the “mazarin hermaphrodite.” the wall text describes it as a combination of a funerary effigy with the lower part of different statue

A photograph of the “Mazarin Hermaphrodite,” a restoration that combines the top and bottom of different statues. In its current state, the statue appears as a standing nude with their arms over their head.

LIVES OF THE ARTISTS/4

Page four of a comic titled "Lives of the Artists." The following is a text synopsis. Prima asks, "Are you with me, Giovanni?" Gio doesn't respond, lost in thought. Prima asks, "What are you looking at?" Gio says, "It's me ... and it's you? I combined our features." We can see that he has been carving an image into a flat-surfaced rock. The image combines Gio's hat and hair with Prima's dress. Gio continues, "I just can't tell ... if it's any good." Meanwhile, Prima looks on in horror. Above the trees, an angel guard flies by.

An ink drawing painted with watercolor. Two women are fucking. The top is squeezing the bottom's tits and laughing mischievously. The bottom is drooling and has hearts for eyes.

Oh interesting! I haven’t looked much at his work, but looking now I can see what you mean — the thin linework and the hatching

7. Whether the government stays open or shuts down in a continuing resolution, the stakes remain the same—and trans and queer people cannot afford to be sidelined in the dealmaking. It will take unrelenting pressure on lawmakers, especially Senate Dems, to stop a bargain that trades away our rights.
