Thank you! I am really happy with how it turned out.
A lot of my artwork kind of flips the script in that I try to find more soft or gentle poses with men to use, a sort of tenderness that I think goes passed over sometimes.

Howdy y'all, my friend told me I should share my latest embroidery here because it depicts Mt. Olympus - I was visiting down south from Canada and had visited a gallery in Edmonds on the way to Kingston and got inspired to do a landscape piece depicting Mt. Olympus in transitional lighting. It was mostly inspired by the types of woodblock prints that a lot of PNW artists dabbled in, as well as their influences traveling throughout Japan and China.

Thank you! I am of mixed heritage so melding my backgrounds together is one of my goals!

Really cool and creative
However there is one part that looks like a small penis with giant balls near where he’s squatting

Thank you! Unfortunately the shape of the mountain there with snow does in fact look like a small penis and giant balls in real life haha

This is supremely cool. The more I look at it the more I like it. I’m not much of an art person, so it’s unusual for me to have such a strong positive reaction to something like this. Nice work!
ETA: I think one of the reasons I like it is because it depicts a man’s body. I’m absolutely exhausted by art that objectifies women’s bodies behind a patina of high-mindedness.
