HEY srry... i like your art, i always really wanted to ask. how do you. like. idk how to explain it, i guess get into the ability to DRAW horror. ive drawn it before, i DO. mostly body horror yk? but it doesn't... really evoke anything for me. something about your body horror is so provocative and raw, and i suppose i cant really get horror across. not through visual arts at least. i do more audio horror format. im rambling here but how do you feel like you do it? does it come naturally to you or is it something that you kinda worked towards? asking because my friend's wondering if i could draw her something horror oriented and i'd LOVE to, im just nervous i guess. when i think of horror, i think of your art. sorry if this is asking a lot, im just curious

I think the horror in my work is the intimacy of bodily parts? like my stuff always ends up having yonic or phallic structures and often times without doing it on purpose! bodily liquids and textures as well. my professors and friends keep finding imploding/ gaping assholes in my paintings and drawings. That is not intentional! and that's what's scary!

just don't hold back when things get weird. it may look unsettling or make you uncomfortable: then it's working. at least for me it's not a conceptual horrific thing that I plan. I obsess over senses and random things like how the pores in your ear look or feel for example. so you lean into however the drawing wants to go even if it's 'wrong'. something as simple as you fucked up while drawing a face, but you decided to embrace it and continue.

Your art looks like it would feel really good, like the texture of everything is so appealing it reminds me of the way water looks in ghibli films, I don’t know if that makes sense but I love your art ❤️

I get what you mean! studio ghibli has a way with movement that I want to encapsulate without actual animation so I'm definitely inspired. it's funny cus my actual "films" look like this.

yo!! first of all: finding your art actually inspired me to sit down and get drawing for the first time today so thanks for that lol /gen. specifically to mess around with texture- you do it so well!!!

2nd- I just reached “I smell funny, how about you” in the scrolling journey and I’m incredibly curious about the process behind it- to be specific, how you came upon a canvas like that! did you plan to paint that image in particular and like, hunt down a solid window, or was the medium just a cool opportunity you stumbled upon? Ig I’m also asking if it was the medium or image that came to mind first.

regardless of what you wanna share, thanks for your time reading this, and for the creative motivation + profound emotions (/pos) that your art evokes!! we’re all excited to see what you make, but i could easily spend a dozen years analyzing all you’ve put out so far; take it easy, not only are you expressing so much interesting stuff and it’s contributing to more creative minds than u know :-) ik there are many other ppl who have felt this, even if u haven’t heard it in a while.

hopefully this isn’t too overwhelming, i would not expect a reply! just want u to know that discovering a neat artist like u brightened my day and I hope you have something great to look forward to rn

This ask was so thoughtfully typed out and surprisingly reassuring. Not knowing what my art on the internet is impacting, or if it impacts at all. Thank you so much for telling me. I'm so happy that it has inspired you to draw because drawing is crazy & failure is progress🏴‍☠️🤯🥊

My friend had done an installation including a few old white windows that they found. When they were taking the installation down I was like I need to paint on that, so they gave me one. After I lugged it upstairs to a studio (heavy as shit for a little guy like me) is when I figured out an idea to paint. But nowadays I like to consider the surface and subject in unison. fun-fact: my professor at the time absolutely hated that painting.

BTW you should pick a bunch of emojis that resonate with you and make drawings inspired by them. It's very fun and helpful if you're stuck on what to draw. I'm actually pro-emoji...and this is why. go play!
