I had SO much fun with this Draw This in Your Style challenge! 🧡🍊🔥 (And suddenly feeling extra inspired to add more tattoos to my future illustrations... 👀)

Today marks exactly two years since the inaugural .the.fruit event, and I couldn't be more proud and privileged to be able to work with them as they've grown. 🌈✨️🔥 Not only is Eden an amazing space for freedom and kink-friendly fun (that I have personally enjoyed on many an occasion 😉), it's also given me the most amazing opportunities for creativity over the years - each with their own themes, each celebrating diverse bodies and identities.

Scroll to see the various Eden posters I've created since the start! 👉

(P.S I couldn't be more proud of this beautiful thing that you've built ❤️)

As a bi woman married to a man, I've been thinking a lot about this conversation this Pride Month. 🌈

Brighter than life, creative, resilient, unapologetically q***r and - as of today - officially 30 years old! 🌈❤️🎉 Happiest of birthdays to the beautiful - who has proven time and time again that they are braver and stronger than anything life throws at them. I love you, my rainbow babe. ❤️

Today seeds, tomorrow flowers 🌼

I've been doing a lot of illustration work behind the scenes, but I'm not always very good about sharing it with you all. 💛 I'm trying to get better at that.

It's TOMORROW! 🌿❤️🔥 Posting the final part of my Ode to Eden today as I prepare my outfit for the last event of the year.

Also seeing in action at the last Eden event was one of my favourite and most beautiful memories.

Ode to Eden Pt. 2 🌿❤️🔥

It's almost time to eat the fruit with .the.fruit - so I thought I'd highlight more of the beautiful faces who've shared their talents with everyone who attended.

1: The mesmerizing acro pole champion
2: The femme fatale drag performer of your dreams
3: The sh***ri goddess

Ode to Eden Pt. 1 🌿❤️🔥

It was an honour and pleasure to illustrate the faces of Eden for the THIRD .the.fruit event this December, using reference images from .jarrod.photo 🔥 I had so much fun with this project, I thought that each figure from the poster deserved its own spotlight: starting with 😍

Come eat the fruit 🍎

For the past five years now, I’ve tried my best to use National Women’s Day as an opportunity to educate and highlight women’s issues in South Africa. But I’m going to be honest, this year I’m tired (and I’m sure I don’t have to explain why - South African women aren’t the only ones who are exhausted right now). So instead I’ll share this shirt from the talented that I bought last year. Thank you for the powerful reminder, (and thank you for printing them with a black women-owned company and donating a percentage of the sales to the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children).
