Things I do when I'm bored in Butler


This is what i think about when I'm bored.

[UPDATE] Now that I have more time I should really clean-up my post. Rather than the stream of consciousness on graph paper as you see above, here are two cleaned-up edits of two pieces of the above doodle (one with color!)


It's so cuuute! I want one! (Though it does feel odd to fetishize myself in effigy...)

Title: Unexpected
Artist; Tian Xie
Pencil on Graph Paper

This work is intended to instantly evoke feelings of surprise and spontaneity as a critique of the gender binary in society, before settling into an understanding. Indeed, even the artist began this work on an impulsive swing of inspiration, before comprehending even his own graphite scratches. Perhaps sometimes the random sparks of intuition speak louder reality than cognitive planning.

But seriously, I don't how this idea came to me. I just started drawing a man, that became an androgynous she-man, that became David's biggest fan.
