life is beautiful because you are one of a kind and the only person like you but life is also hellish because you are one of a kind and the only person like you
@EvilBeanDD grossman helped create leather garments as a child in the 40s and 50s, she is on the record for that informing a lot of her work. she wasn't even aware of leather fetish culture until she developed her style. she's talked about it lots, I was also surprised it wasnt kink at first
I love her work (I have presented on it!), especially the left one which is a self portrait. she has a lot of reasonings for all her choices of form and material and it's frustrating how people accuse her of lying or trying to make people look bad
her style developed independently before learning about fetish communities, she has explained many times. the leather, zippers and other hardware are from her experience helping her parents make darts + gussets as a child
grossman was born in 1940, I don't think it's surprising at all that she didn't learn about leather fetish culture until later. she is aware of it and knows that same culture views her work as such fetish
when I was like 5 I was at a restaurant with my family and saw a sign up as decor that said "never trust a skinny cook" and I have thought about that constantly for nearly two decades now. like yeah I'll for sure trust fat cooks that makes more sense than anything ever
also idk how many ppl r aware of it but the only reason that that ship with hanzo and Cassidy got so popular was bc on launch they were they only light skinned conventionally attractive not old men on the roster lmao
I'm a firm believer that hanzo is 100% a gay man but idgaf about him being with that cowboy. I got a blog from 2017 where I was rbing art of hanzo getting passed around by every other man like a blunt tho
they were essentially the only basic yaoi option for people who didn't like old guys (reaper76) or fat and insane people (roadrat) or just black people in general (literally just lucio). and yeah genji is there but bc his face was covered he didn't get that same appeal

I'm very embarrassed to not have a job despite being about to have 2 degrees but I am going to continue applying for places + look for studio space. I am very grateful for my parents support especially given my psych ward stay this year lmao
I graduate in a week 🙂↕️🙂↕️ I don't have a job set up immediately for graduation so while I'm looking once I move back in with my parents I might try and draw for fun/to post here again
