"Across Lifetimes Untold, We Still Say Hello"
This piece is inspired by a petroglyph in Peterborough, Ontario, c. 900-1100 CE. The First Nations people call them Kinomagewapkong, "The Teaching Rocks". To the Anishinaabe, the rock site is sacred, an area where spirits and the corporeal can meet. This figure really sticks out, scholars believe the top of their head is the Sun.
How the sun's light reflects upon the moon shining across our faces as we look up and connect, 2024.
A commissioned piece from 2022. A local rapper requested a cover for his single Water.
Yefta is cool, you can find him on Spotify.
A commission for a friend of St. Christopher in his cynocephalus representation, burnt illustration 2022.
"ᎤᏍᎨᏥᎸ ᎠᎵᏍᎩᏍᏗ" (usgetsilv alisgisdi - chicken-comb dance)
Mixed media, 2022. Playful sexual dimorphism, ritualized by the two-spirit. The two-spirit gyrates in the chicken-comb dance.
The language is Cherokee (which I'm part). The concept of the Two Spirit is pan-native-american, the term itself being formally coined near the end of the 20th century by queer indigenous activists and cultural preservationists.
A quick work-doodle of Vash I did ages ago, probably somewhere around 6 years ago.
Humanoid Typhoon and keeper of my heart 💖

"It'll Kill You In Time"
Mixed media illustration, I was still working in education back then, a very frustrating position where I feel like I let down my students and the admins did everything to make a bad situation worse. Listened to Elliott Smith's Coming Up Roses to cool down as i sketched, the title is a line from that, 2022.
Mixed media collage, 2024
Palestinians kept the keys to their homes when they were forced into exile in 1948, the beginning of the Nakba that continues to this very day. The child clutches to the key, it illuminates a call for peace in a chaos of war, for all war's farce and spectation. That missile is the one signed by former US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, she signed off with a "Finish Them!" and "America ♥️ Israel". The graves are of Arlington, still fresh from one field to another. The twins are Benjamins. The countless-dead memorial markers are Covid deaths.
"Explosions Scare You, Do They?"
"The Eye Doth Deceive"
Mixed media, made after a Machine Girl at the Granada, 2022.
Finally have a dedicated side blog for my art @izzyimpart <3
I'd greatly appreciate any mutuals who like my work to give it a follow. Honestly, I'm just happy to have another archival space that isn't just Instagram.
Thanks for looking at my work ^_^
"Von Economo Neuron"
Mixed media made from a found and broken rosary, found and broken chain, a dead butterfly, and found charger cords, 2025
