The majority of gay drawings you will find online are mostly NSFW, depicting chiseled and overly sexualized characters. That's why it's so refreshing to see this queer couple portrayed in such a cute and wholesome way.
I'm a Canadian digital artist and I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have been drawing adorable illustrations of me and my partner on my Instagram account.
Going on Instagram, I had difficulty finding other LGBTQ artists that drew same-sex couples doing mundane things together. We don't over-sexualize all straight relationships, so I thought it was important to continue these illustrations to normalize same-sex couples.
I usually draw inspiration from my life with my boyfriend, Patric. I met Patric in the summer of 2019 when he was visiting Stockholm, where he lived, for the weekend with friends.
Representation matters and I hope my drawings are helping to provide a more accurate perspective to a diverse group of queer people. Representation doesn’t have to be groundbreaking nor extravagant, on the contrary, it needs to be honest and sometimes boring.
