ROT, 2025
Acrylic on Canvas

Remember to Rot. A reflection on letting go and just doing nothing sometimes.
And what better way to do nothing than to make a whole painting about it?

She goes by Sunny — though many know her by another name — and she’s smiling about this whole thing. Whispers of a second issue of the year’s sickest DIY Trans art zine drew her from her afternoon nap under a grapefruit tree back into her garage studio like a transmasc Pied Piper.

Some fun Junji Ito esque sketches. I love the expressions he did so I copied aspects of either the eyes or mouth then created a new creature around them.

And we have a bit of a tonal shift, but I wanted to show off some makeup I did a while back. Love getting to practice using some 3rd Degree Silicone.

Clay sculpture of an elongated human head.  It has a stubby nose and open mouth.  One eye has a star in it rather than a pupil.

Profile of the same sculpture.  The head has a very long jaw with an unnaturally square chin.  The corner of its open mouth is rounded upwards in an odd smile.
It has no ears, only a small slit where its ear should be.

Sketch of the freaky clown in the same pose.  The eyes have a light red rhombus around each.  The mouth has the same shade red wrapped around the lips.

This is my freaky clown. I love him.
I made him 2 years ago and hes still one of my favorite maquettes. I guess that means I need to do more.

Piece #12 & #13 from the How to Become Fungal Project

Title: Process
Competing with the desire to create for the viewer rather than the self.

Title: Accept
Be present & unbothered by the end result. Ground yourself in the enjoyment of creation.
