Seeking Many-Selved Family Portraits

[lb_lee]

Do you have visual art depicting your group? We would like to see it and save copies for posterity (and maybe a slideshow).

All mediums and skill levels welcome, all interpretations of “family portrait” and “many-selved.” Please give a date and artist/s name for attribution and citation purposes. You can link in the comments below or send them to us at loonybrain at healthymultiplicity.com

We can’t accept non-digital copies; space forbids. :p

ohohoo! we actually have several—the current one is incomplete but we made some for a zine we’re probably never publishing of us through the years! we can send them over in the morning if the old ones interest you, idk when the current one will be done -crow&

Yes, we want all of them; we hope to maybe do a slideshow showing how folks portraits grow and change over time, so series are great!

alright, here we are! all of these were drawn in october of 2023 by me (Crow& of a Body et al.)—not sure of a more exact date. headmates listed from left to right and top to bottom, if the names matter

2019-2020, feat. Pothos, Sol, the writer (TW), and the kid—Pothos, the writer, and Sol are a median collective at this point

2021, feat. Irónice, Sol/Crow, and the writer (TW)

2022, feat. AJ, (pre-transition Sylvia Eve who is censored out), Crow, the writer (TW), James Alice, the kiddo, Turtle, and Sunny

2023, feat. Bo/“Bimbeau”, Riley, crow&, TW, Sylvia Eve, AJ, and the kiddo

note: i’m not actually sure when i fully diverged from being “a Sol” so i’m guessing 2022, and i’m also not sure when the ampersand got added to my name, so i’m just assuming it was 2023

Sneak: Thank you! Saved and added. ^_^

of course! will let you know if we finish the updated one :) we do have a lot of individual portraits or smaller group drawings we can send though (or smack into a collage), we just rarely draw more than two of us interacting at once.

also if this is private you can include the final page of [kiddo]’s story (which we can link on desktop, html on my phone is hell)! if it’s public though we’re keeping that image relatively under wraps

[lb_lee]

Sneak: It would not be a private thing; we were imagining possibly doing a little exhibition show offline for folks and/or putting together the slides digitally for folks to view online. So I will leave [kiddo]'s story alone for now!

[bodyetal]

me again! i finished our updated portrait :) doesn’t have everyone technically (it’s for a table display and i don’t have the time to include the Knights or the mysterious chess goth) but it’s all of the current safety pins who aren’t either brand new or in our mental basement

from left to right it’s the kiddo (with cuddles the creeper), TW, me/crow&, and riley

Sneak: Ahhhh, that looks so cool! :D Thank you!

[bodyetal]

thank you!!! i am immensely proud of it :) my only regret is forgetting TW’s sunglasses—vae’s basically never seen without them, even in headspace (which is huge “wearing sunglasses indoors” energy tbh). just imagine some sick red/mirrored lennon shades i guess! -crow&
