Queer, disabled Boston area artist, living her worst life. I'd rather be elbow deep in clay right now, but I'm poor
Pinned
Howdy, I'm Gwen. Sometimes I go by Grimm, or Grimmalkin. I make stuff. I'm also disabled and recovering from burnout that destroyed my dreams of being a professional illustrator. Now I've turned my beady eyes towards sculpture instead, because creating is vital to my survival. Here, some stuff:
Officially no longer have an apartment. Applying for a new one. Pissed off and stressed out and want the last 3 months (not counting the months long application process)of my damn life back.

I made a Snom. Be nice to him.
I'm still trying to figure out a good way to color these little polyfil sculptures. Wool is expensive.

If my financial assistance doesn't mysteriously disappear, definitely want to grab a few things. Eyeballing both the compression gloves and the artist gloves. Looks like they'll comfortable fit my big 'ol hands, too.
Hi I'm Abi or Bibi! I'm a disabled Black queer creator that makes compression gloves, compression socks, wrist braces, artist gloves, cool pins and many disability aids all in fun patterns and designs.

Thanks for doing this!

Thanks Kova! I’m Justin, a St. Louis maker of things. Mostly sculptures and lots of cardboard to do it.

I present a collection of pieces that I think have a softer touch.

The world sucks, everything is making me angry, but I have a loaner (possibly to be mine) PC from a friend, and I'm gonna learn how to use Blockbench if it kills me.

Hi! I'm Christine, the maker behind Huang Pottery.

I mostly make functional ceramic pieces like mugs and bowls and I hope my work fills your day with a little bit of joy every time you use them.

Messing around with a sketch and a weird painting technique involving the curves tool. Also a new method for rendering faces / skin. Which… I actually really like? Hmmm.

I am begging people who are pushing emigration as a solution to All This to remember that disability is disqualifying for immigration in every single developed country in the world even if it is only unofficially so

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favorite sci-fi franchise.

I keep wanting to come and look at art, but I'm always fighting my urge to tell everyone about how disabled people are gonna get the worst of this. 'Heres a list of countries that will except trans refugees!' not if they're disabled. 'Support POC artists!' what if they're too disabled to create?

Fucking around, attempting to art.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner
