Hold on. We will get through this. ❤️‍🩹

Some t4t joy for the tl today. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️‍🩹

And more than a little queer rage. ✊

This is one of several new prints I will be rolling out in time for the 2023 Erotic Art & Crafts Fair (@EroticArtsFair) presented by @ComeAsYouAreCo.

I'll continue sharing wips as we draw closer to the date~

That t4t bacchanalia in full swing~

I enjoy working in black and white, but with enough interest, I'll consider painting a full colour version.🌈 https://t.co/yNJ3fJ5Bh0

P.S. This is part of a new series I'm working on in time for the 2023 Erotic Art & Crafts Fair (@EroticArtsFair) presented by @ComeAsYouAreCo

Depicted here is of course the painting "At school doors" by Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky. It's being used to represent the brutality of peasant life under the Russian Empire (quite rightfully so). But our caricature here is foolishly mischaracterizing this as "fashion".

The caption here is a spoken line of the character pointing at the painting. It reads (roughly translating slang) "Look—chic clothes! You can't get those nowadays!"

There are a lot of layers of meaning here that make this an especially interesting artifact of an era imo

I love that this image basically speaks for itself, but interestingly there is a pun here that is somewhat difficult to translate: caption «знаки различия» could mean insignia (as a symbol of rank), but could also be read literally as "sign of difference"

@sierrabravoart This particular depiction draws primarily on satirical cartoons of the time that went out of their way to equate gender non-conformity with "Western bourgeois values". A common refrain that further justified the criminalization of queer people under the Soviet Union.

Alex is in his element. 🦇 https://t.co/0aGXEgVb5C
