Tapestries
Description: Masculinity doesn't have to be all aggression and violence. When I heard a friend of mine talking about camaraderie with other men and how good it felt to be free of alpha male toxic masculinity, my mind went to "nontoxic" and from there to crayons. Enjoy this visual pun and thanks for supporting my shop!
Description: This is the new flag gaining popularity now since the shades of pink lesbian flag is hard to make in fiber, was only designed with femme/lipstick lesbians in mind, and had some other problems. I love this way of representing the flags because even if someone doesn't know what the colors mean, the symbols clue them in. Also, it gives me a great opportunity as an artist to bring up some LGBTQ history. The naval star is an old queer code - butches used to have it tattooed on one wrist as a signal and hidden under a broad watch band.
Description: Originally a sketch I drew in about an hour to keep myself from unpacking and repacking my suitcase for a seventh time, I redrew it large enough for stickers per request. Thanks for all the unexpected love! Maybe in future years I can add that year's name list to the back, to honor our lost siblings
Description: So I was playing around on my LGBTQ symbols document and came up with a new way to represent the pride flags. I love how it turned out! These are going to take some more in-depth knowledge of each community to create for other flags, so some may take awhile, but I'm working on adding more like this.
Description: Each letter portrays a major theme/motif/symbol in the play. H - extremes and duality. Quintessence of dust vs. how like an angel, fertility vs. chastity and denial, love vs. sorrow. A - death and damnation. There aren't a lot of mentions of Heaven, but there are many for Hell. M - flowers. Ophelia's flower scene and the garland she drowns in sum up many key points and character realtionships using flower language. L - mistreatment of women. E - fate and destiny, often associated with stars. T - rot and decay.
