Crude zine-style drawing of Dornika, a plus size femme-ish person with huge spiked hair, clawing at the air.Queer Berlin legend Dornika is an amazing musician.

Their song “Nobody” has a new video, so I made this drawing inspired by it!

This summer was terrible for me, as I got sick again after a period of remission, and watching videos of the crowd chant along with Dornika “Nobody Fucking Owns My Body!” at clubs and festivals was a great comfort. The video for the song is absolutely awesome. Please check it out here – it’s age restricted 😉 so you know it’s good!

The video premiere party for Nobody last week had so many cool parts, including tattooing by Queer Berlin mainstay Bard Tattoo, and I would have loved to be there and get one. I was too sick, but I hope so hard to be able to catch a Dornika show in the spring.

Today is Dornika’s birthday, and her next project has a very modest crowdfunding goal up, for BUSH!! Contribute to Dornika’s next video, “Bush”, here.

Dornika’s film Dream Dwellers! It premiered at Schwules Museum in November. You can watch Dream Dwellers for free on the queer anti-capitalist platform Realitytvwow, right here!

Dan talks to Wednesday group by Suzanne Forbes Jan 4 2023 2

He has joined a group of folks based in Oxford called “The Wednesday”, and they all talk about philosophy.

He gave a talk about “Umberto Eco and Semiotics” and I set up my little paint-drawing station with a Windsor-Newton watercolor block, my Liquitex acrylic inks, my chalk marker, and my PITT pens. I don’t know yet if I like these inks or not. I need to use liquid mediums and brushes to spare my hand and arm pain, but I never had a feel for transparent media.

So, this was a chance to try and work with it!

I use the chalk marker to bring up light values, and added a little pastel to refine a few highlights, plus watercolor markers to shade in some darks. So really it’s as mixed media as you can get. I don’t know if I like the results, don’t know if I’ll keep using the inks, and don’t know what else to try. I’m in negative capacity. That’s ok.

Hub said that “The Illuminatus Trilogy is really a sci-fi version of Foucoult’s Pendulum” because he’s a troll like that.

I’m so grateful to my Patrons on Patreon, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to keep working and evolving as an artist,
