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! 🎨
Â
​​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
