Joy Project: Sketches
🕑 Added 2023-04-12 23:36:07 +0000 UTCI did it! I drew all 171 word prompts that you guys shared with me for the Joy Project! (This is a giant collaborative fiber art piece illustrating the things that bring people joy)
I numbered each of the words that were submitted. Here's some of the sketches.
114 Floating
Some words I'd realize "Hey, this other thing I drew would actually double up with this new word pretty well!" so some sketches have multiple numbered concepts by them, such as the one above. No. 111 Exploring Gender shows hermit crabs with their customized shells. No. 120 Discovery shows a naked crab transitioning from their old shell to their new one. Have you ever looked at a hermit crab without its shell? YEEHG.

I alternate between being overwhelmed (in a positive way) and then once I actually crack into it I’m like THIS IS AWESOME, and then I reach a stopping point and it’s like “Oh fuck, I don’t know how to do the next bit” 😅

I love them too, thank you for suggesting them!

Wahaha thank you! Now I’m imagining adding a yelling snail to the screaming possums…

This is so cool! I, like many folks here, think the hermit crab idea is awesome!

Excellent work!!!

Oh my god those hermit crabs are beautiful!!! I'm so enamored with how you have chosen to portray gender exploration in that way. I'm working with a new drag performer and she's actually writing a children's book about hermit crabs as a symbol of gender and transition. How cool is that??

I first misread "land snails" as "loud snails".... and was confused, but intrigued! It's so cool to see this process. I mean those hermit crabs?? What a beautiful and brilliant representation of those words/concepts!!
