I've Never Vented About Art Struggles Before Last Night, And I Actually Got Encouragement.

"No More Sunshine"

Mixed media, 2022. Title taken from a line in Manic Street Preachers' song Drug Drug Druggy.

(I wish I got a better quality picture of it, oh well.)

This piece was sold.

"Message Intercepted (or Us)"

Mixed media collage, 2022. The mummy cat gives a piece of their ka to this skull that's wracked by chaos, being nothing more than a bubble that can't reach, the pages between the two torn.

"Study With Nietzsche"

Mixed media, self portrait with my first philosophic love, 2025.

"They Greet The Sunrise"

Mixed media painting, 2021. I just really wanted to paint a trans elder enjoying being alive :)

"Hypnagogic Gender Studies Moo-cow"

Mixed media, 2023. Inspired by the hypnagogic work of Salvador Dali, I decided to try my hand at sketching hypnagogic visions. These creatures came to me and made any point they had somewhat clear, what with their striking features. Dali used keys he'd drop on a loud saucer once he fell a sleep, but I just relied on my dog Günther to wake me.

"Holy Fire Face"

Collage mosaic, 2021. Inspired by a re-watch of Holy Mountain, that time showing some friends who'd absolutely not have seen it on their own accord, but they did enjoy the experience ultimately. The particular scene that triggered this piece was when they sacrificed the mannequin doubles to the fire in the eyeball table.

Linktree. Make your link do more.

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 ^_^

"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.

Being an artist is hard
