Queer Art and Online Creation with Mayticks

A love for beautiful things is such a delicious part of being queer. In this episode, we're joined by an out-of-this-world sapphic artist, who we've yearned to interview since the Wonderfully Done concept was born. Meet Mayticks! 🎨

 

​​Who is Mayticks? Mayticks (she/her) is a divine artist who makes sapphic art that explores queerness, body feels, and connection  - basically all our favorite shit! She is a Canberra-based Australian cutie, queer, and draws a loooooot of nipples and leg hair!

 

Topics we explore in this episode:

• Exploring sexuality in erotic art, as a queer woman
• What’s the difference between drawing for 'a male gaze' vs 'a queer gaze' (gays)?
• Queer Romance - How Mayticks met her wife
• What makes art sensual vs. pornographic
• Challenging your own biases in your art
• Should Twitter make changes for 18+ gating?
• Today and the future in queer art
