Paintings by the trashfag, Azrael
I'm a gay trans middle aged guy from Brighton who likes to paint. I sell prints and other products of the paintings and take commissions for paintings too
Watercolour painting I just did quickly as I'm trying to get back into watercolours
Self portrait
Latest two paintings, slightly altered painting of Tom Smith and new painting of Blanck Mass, both from Editors (and Blanck Mass has really cool solo stuff and was also in the excellent F**k Buttons,)
I'm seeing Editors in March just before my 45th birthday so I'm gonna try and give them these paintings.
I painted Tom Smith from Editors again!
I painted Tom Smith from Editors
I drew Tom Smith from Editors . Painting to follow!
Finally did a new painting, a gift for a friend. This is Robert Pattinson as naked Batman with modesty build-a-bear Batman bear
I've almost finished my conversion to Judaism so I did this painting today, a mishmash of symbols relating to Judaism
Ok this will be the last one but this time I painted Matt Berry's Music
Another attempt at Matt Berry's Music
I think I will paint this one - I know the hair and beard are too light, every dark brown marker I had ran out
I drew Matt Berry's Music again, I'm still not really that happy with it but I do want to paint him. Which is better?
I finally did a new drawing of Matt Berry's Music and I'm considering painting him. I've been listening to his music a lot lately
I painted as Michael in The Good Place
I don't really paint much any more but getting new followers from my last one made me think I should try to paint something in the next week or so!
So I'm gonna offer a vote on who I'll do next with people I've been considering painting
👍 For Harold Perrineau as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet
❤️ For Lil Nas X
😂 For Peaches (singer of F**k The Pain Away)
😮 For Prince (Prince is my all time hero esp relating to gender presentation. But even tho I drew and tattooed him on my own kneecap I'm scared to paint him haha)
I'll probably start Sunday or Monday so voting prob only open till Monday. It's on my personal page too so I'll add any votes from there
I painted Son of Baldwin
He's absolutely wonderful, I really recommend following him. I've learnt so much from him, he's incredibly wise, insightful and generous with his knowledge.
I also recommend his novel, which I have just started. Already the writing is honestly breathtaking. It's visceral but tender at the same time. In the UK you can buy a copy here: https://www.q***rlit.co.uk/products/the-prophets-1?variant=42280541257959¤cy=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic
Hello! I'm still alive! Just mostly doing makeup now not painting. But I did do this one of Ghostpoet
Self portrait, watercolour
Another watercolour on the theme of air. This is loosely based on the sunset over the cliffs near my house, photo added as an example (photo taken by me)
Just some more elemental water colours
I've not painted in ages for various reasons and I'm still not currently doing portraits. But I've started trying out watercolours and these are my first two attempts
I drew Orville Peck again
New painting! After not painting in ages, I finished this very quickly. It's of Yusuf/ Cat Stevens.
I drew Philip Normal a while ago and he likes it so I'm sharing. Check out his page for cool t shirts, he's a sweetheart! I own a few of his tees they are the best
OK I've done a public post too as I've tried 2 different reddit threads and a few fb groups and nothing. Please share and please ask people to comment on the OP so I see it!
OK so I'm trying to find a book I read a few years ago but I have terrible issues with memory
Cn :mentions emotional in**st briefly
Definitely true:
Male author
Set in USA
Relatively modern but pre 2007 (I think prob 80s or 90s but that isn't definite)
Features a part with a character doing a meditation technique called 'counting his bones' where he pictures the bones in his body. I *think* this leads to some higher consciousness type state but might not lol
Features a storyline with a mum raising her son in secret and her starting to feel attracted to him as he becomes an adult and realising this is cos she's so isolated from other people and I think she then rejoins society
Not definitely true, as I may be mixing up books:
I think the characters are connected in some way they don't know, possibly supernatural
I think the cover had playing cards, neon, possibly skulls, snakes etc but was anyway quite unusual and edgy looking
I think it was fairly long
Pretty sure it was a stand alone book not a series
I thought the author might be called Jim but then I also thought he might have had initials or a nickname, but this is especially uncertain.
Pretty sure there were magical elements
My first commission piece of embroidery, the customer's cats!
I am now accepting commissions, this one is approx 15cm fully covered and took around 7.5 hours. Obviously smaller and less filled ones will be quicker. They will be charged at £10/ hour but I accept less from low income people. I'm also very open to exchanges. This was done for a clothes maker and in exchange J sent her a duvet to make me dungarees. Also open to other exchanges! Probably not jewellery or visual art as I have far too much but comment or message me with any suggestions or questions or to commission :)
Not a painting but I hope you don't mind me sharing the latest thing I did.
I've never done an embroidery before. I'm not an especially great sewer and I have issues with my joints which makes it hard but I thought I'd have a go.
I just made it up, drew the design on, added to it as I went. I don't know what stitches I used lol.
So here we go:
(P. S. The wording is a playful jokey take on macho sayings like Death Before Dishonour, not meant literally)
Something very different for me! I've been working on drawing and decided to draw 2 snooker players. I went for Ronnie O'sullivan and Mark Selby.
Mark Selby I just really like. He seems less constructed than many people, a bit more genuine. He's withdrawn but it seems like that's him being anxious, not trying to be perfect in what he says. I don't always enjoy watching him play mostly because I have ADHD and poor focus isn't great for longer matches. But I think he has a grace and beauty when he plays.
Ronnie O'Sullivan I'm more conflicted about. I identify with him a lot. I thought he'd said he had bipolar and ADHD at some point but that might be me projecting, as I do and the way he is feels familiar. I identify with having times where everything seems to just flow easily, I pick things up fast and do everything uniquely as does he (tho obvs I'm nowhere near as good at snooker 😂) and then have tomes where everything comes crashing down. I identify with not saying the right things, not being able to play social games.
But he can really be an ar****le so that's less good! Watching him play is magic though. I know snooker isn't a big trendy q***r favourite but it is a very traditional working class favourite and I dip in and out. I've included photos of them for those who don't know them.
Hi all, I now have a Redbubble if you want my designs on a range of items :)
If you want prints still pm me as its cheaper and I get all of it (I only get an average of £3/ item here) and I can probably also directly order t shirts and mugs cheaper than this but this is an option if you're really after a George Micheal mini skirt or Beth Ditto shower curtain!

I have some more Orville Peck prints in as well as a few Freddie Mercury, George Michael and Beth Ditto. £10 each or 3 for £25, including postage in UK or add £2 for EU, £4 for rest of the world. I don't have a shop but my PayPal is [email protected], you can pm me address and order or add as a PayPal note. Feel free to ask any questions or I can order prints of other paintings
I also do commissions which start at £50 for A4 drawing coloured with markers, £75 for A4 acrylic painting.
This isn't resin but sharing here in case people are interested. I've customised a t shirt and some jeans with bleach effects and ice dye. Prices include first class signed for postage within UK, ask for international as I'll have to check insurance. I'm open to offers, especially if you are low income (I don't need proof!) or possibly swaps of Black Milk or patterned dungarees (I'm around a size 10/12)
