butch dog thing

> who are you?

nameagepronouns
jay / grace24xe/it/he/they

i'm an autistic butch lesbian making art and living with my partner in nebraska. i'm white, disabled, TME & trans.
i represent myself in my art with my two fursonas, em and butch.

> what are your interests?

animals, birdwatching, biology, medicine, trans/gender issues, lesbianism, autism.
for better or for worse, star trek is my special interest, so you'll likely see a lot of that, but i have a separate trek-only twitter account to contain most of it.
i won't bother to list my other media-related interests here because it's subject to change a lot more than i'll feel like updating it.

> what kind of art do you make?

i draw/paint a lot of furries, but not quite all my art is furry art. i draw a lot of lesbians, trans people, gay people, and fanart too. i crochet! i'm not quite a beginner, not quite an expert, i just do it. i write once in a while. i like making collages.
kind of everything, a bit of this and a bit of that.

> what materials / programs do you use?

digital: mostly MS paint, krita, SAI 2. less frequently, electric zine maker, rebelle 5, tux paint, photoshop, and GIMP. some kind of old wacom tablet. computer touchscreen or mouse if i'm feeling a little zesty.
traditional: regular plain black pen, crayola broad water-based markers, copic markers, mechanical pencil. sometimes a bit of painting with acrylic on whatever.
other: i generally mess around with the color curves of my art before posting, i use snapseed on mobile or krita on PC. i crochet with whatever yarn or hooks i can find that i like and that doesn't cost an arm + a leg.

> what are your thoughts on X, Y, or Z?

the short version: i make heavy use of the block feature and i don't want to associate with babyfurs, nazifurs, zoos, radfems, proshippers, centrists, antivaxxers, or anything of the like.ableism, anti-Blackness, antisemitism, racism, homophobia, transphobia and transmisogyny have no place in what's meant to be a community of acceptance.trans women are my friends and any vision of lesbianism that excludes them is horseshit.i think accessibility is important. i add alt text to my art so it can be more accessible - you should do it, too, if you can. i think you should wear a mask in public to stop spread of diseases and i'm not gonna keep that opinion to myself to make you more comfortable.the long version: see here.

> can i buy your art?

yes!!
you can buy digital goods (like crochet patterns, or PDF zines) on my itch.io store...
...and you can buy physical goods (like paintings or finished crocheted items) on my big cartel shop.

> what do you look like?
