As always a few days late to post on here - my most recent intaglio print, inspired by @fyodorpavlov.bsky.social’s gorgeous work for @logandria.bsky.social on their hunting scarf collaboration!

An intaglio print, tinted burgundy, of a man tied up and hung in an ornate border in a still life setting. His guts are spilling out, a swan and a rabbit are hanging next to him, and he is surrounded by flowers and fruit.

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it

black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

repost 🖍️🖌️✂️

a black and white typography edit that reads "i am gay and i must create". around the text are many arts and crafts supplies such as a glue gun, spools of thread, scissors, a linocut carver, tunes of paint, crayons, buttons, pins, a ball of yarn, paint brushes, pens, and pencils, and other things of that nature. the entire image is textured to look photocopied.

New stickers!! What if tamagotchi were trans 👀 tranagotchi? tramagotchi? 🏳️‍⚧️

A photo of two vinyl stickers on a white background. The stickers are illustrations of tamagotchi toys, but one of them (left) is in the shape of the trans symbol with a small egg on the screen, and the other is in the shape of a testosterone bottle, and the tamagotchi on its screen has top surgery scars.

“Crawl your way out” 🩸⚡️

Self portrait number 7 in my annual series!
I’ve been making these yearly portraits ever since I realised I was trans in 2018.
I started 2024 with huge amounts of fear and self doubt and slowly learned that I deserve to be kind to myself (thanks, therapy).
#art #selfPortrait

A digital painting of a nude person lying backwards and partially covering their face. Two feathered wings sprout from their back and a white star pierces their head. Top surgery scars are visible on their chest.

I love seeing queer artists draw bodies. Queer attraction and beauty has such range to it, and I love seeing body types and parts that we've been told are ugly drawn with such care. I love getting to see the body from so many different perspectives

for me this print represents fighting against something a lot more powerful and bigger than yourself and winning despite that, and I find the medieval symbolism fitting - otherwise I too would be rooting for a dragon more than a knight!

you can get the prints in my shop rejka.bigcartel.com

fight for trans rights! a new lino print brought to you by medieval imagery as well as me being chronically pissed at the world these days

A scan of a lino print printed in black ink of a knight fighting a dragon, with red text saying ‘protect trans rights’, all in a medieval style.

Gilded using the water gilding method - I bought a wood board that had already been treated with gesso (a plaster like substance), I then covered it with armenian bole & fish glue (red stuff!), applied fake gold, which I then burnished with an agate stick after it dried.

A wood panel that has been treated with a mixture of armenian bole and fish glue. It appears red. The substance is now dry and I carved the outline of the painting into it.

A photo where the same panel has been wet with water and is about halfway covered with thin gold pieces. A wide brush made of squirrel hair is visible in the left corner.

The same panel but now fully covered in gold. The gold now appears fully stuck to the panel as it had bren burnished and smoothed out (to the best of my ability - there are visible imperfections in the gold).

St. Sebastian but make him trans!

A photo of a religious icon type wood panel of St Sebastian, but with top surgery scars. He is pained with gouache paint on a gold background. He is clutching at his chest which is pierced by a single arrow, and looking up. He has dark hair and tan skin that reflects light.

got the second print run of my trans angel riso print back from the printers a few weeks back! It’s inspired by portugese tiles, and I cleaned up the yellow a bit more to make it warmer and brighter 💛

A white hand holding up an A4 riso print in blue and warm yellow/orange of an angel holding up a small moon. The angel has stylised top surgery scars and is surrounded by an ornate border full of swirls and weird creatures.

This is the metal plate it was printed from! You can get prints in my shop here: rejka.bigcartel.com ✨ #maurice #queerfilm #maurice1987

The same print as above next to a metal plate which the print was printed from. The plate shows the same image but in reverse. It has been etched with acid to make the image.

ever since I saw #Conclave I’ve been kind of obsessed with the aesthetics & ritual of the catholic church, which is kind of ironic as I’m an atheist and deeply critical of the catholic church as a whole. they really do go off with the aesthetics though 😔 you can get these in my shop now!
