Beyond what is seen: art by N @beyondwhatisseen.bsky.social · Feb 6
Official intro!

I'm N, a nonbinary/queer artist (they/them,) that makes cute little guys, creepy creatures, stickers, comics, linocut prints, & basically anything that catches my fancy.
Sometimes I even make fan art!

You can find pretty much all my stuff over on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/beyondwhatis...
A collage of 4 photos on a dark green background. Photo 1 is a linocut print of a cat skull, outlined in gold, with a gold plant coming out of its eye socket. Photo 2 is of 2 stickers on a wooden desk. One is a rainbow version of the Game changer podium, with a parody of the logo over it that says "I've been queer the whole time!" The second sticker is just the parody logo. Photo 3 is a black and white drawing of a creature made by combining an Eel, when cats have multiple pairs of ears, and a Gilla monster. Photo 4 is a comic page from 2019's Hourly Comic Day. It has 4 panels. From top to bottom: N and their spouse grocery shopping, the max train coming out of a tunnel, a still life of the artists desk, and a black panel with stars and a moon saying "Bed Time."

Former Final Girl turned horror survivor badass, Sachiko "Sachi" Moriyama, for @beyondwhatisseen.bsky.social and their delightful storyteller, @mx-s-314.bsky.social.

I just think they're neat. 🔪

#scribbles
Digital sketch of Sachiko Moriyama (they/she), played by N. They are of Eastern Asian descent, with short bleached hair, and they wear a flannel over a bloodied white tank and cargo pants (which are definitely full of knives and improv survival gear). She stands with a hand on her hip and a katana-like sword propped on her shoulder.

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.
A small cartoon version of the ceramic Mongolian hedgehog shown in the quoted post. Behind him is the word AHHH in very large lettering. The caption under him says "just keep screaming".

Hey, if you used to have Harry Potter soundtrack music on your holiday playlist because it fits that vibe so well, but now it makes you feel mighty icky, might I suggest grabbing some tracks from Williams' similar soundtrack for HOOK, especially "The Never-Feast"?

I actually gasped when I saw that this resource guide was put out there to help folks. *That's* what I'm talking about.

Librarians are the freaking best, y'all. Book it. Done.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.
A painted pink, black and white sign that reads: To Do Build community Shop small and local Speak up and speak out Practice empathy Protect the vulnerable Give to good causes Care for the earth Be brave and loving Investigate Read and listen Abide no fascism

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance.

They won't ever be able to get rid of us, no matter what. No amount of hateful legislation can change the fact of our existence.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

I’m howling.
Recently, Clifford "Buzz" Grambo decided to upgrade his electric scooter. The old one he had purchased online only reached 16 mph and wasn't cutting it anymore. He needed to go faster to keep up with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement cars he chases around Baltimore. So, Grambo bought a Segway MAX G3, which features a 2,000-watt motor and can get up to 28 mph. "The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was," he told me when we first spoke on the phone in late October. "They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ha-ha bitches, I got a new scooter!"

I saw a post this morning somewhere about trying to draw an upturned chin from below and yeah - that's a tough one!

You need to rely a lot on shading the form rather than lines for this usually. Beards can be a nice cheat. 😋

Here's a few refs to try today if you want the challenge. ⭐
male face turned upward and to the side seen from slightly below female face turned upward and to the side seen from slightly below male face turned upward exposing the underside of the chin female face turned upward exposing the underside of the chin
