Twitter has been a freaking mess and I decided to be more present here bc Tumblr community always have been a familiar place to be, specially as an artist.
For the ones that don’t know me, I’m Christine and I’m from Brazil. I started making sketches and watercolor pieces and moved to digital art bc of Gentleman Jack series that inspired me a lot.
But I’m also a music lover, specially for R&B, disco, soul, funk, neo-soul and most of black music in general. I do my best to be the best BIPOC ally that I can, I am a lesbian latina and I do believe we can live a future so much better than we do today if we fight for respect and to protect our diversity.
So if you need a friend to talk and to appreciate some wlw art, I am here for you. ♥ Count one me!!

Happy 2024! ♥️✨
Bienvenidas, bienvenidos y bienvenides, to this new artistic adventure that combines nature, culture, and love in its different forms! I am very happy that you are here ♥️✨
Love finds infinite ways and possibilities to express itself, and romantic love is one of them, where two hearts intertwine and, over time and depth, can merge into one. Those hearts can beat for each other, in different bodies or not.
And it is from that reality, from that promise, that I begin this journey with you: love is unique but manifests itself in diverse and rich paths, just as the marigold flower is finite in its unity, it is also infinite in its petals and in its possibilities to adorn us and bring us joy with its beauty.
The enamored girls you see were inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Mexico, particularly in an artistic form: ballet folklórico. ✨♥️
The folkloric ballet of Mexico is a form of dance that celebrates the cultural traditions, music, and typical costumes of the various regions of Mexico and combines elements of dance, music, costumes, and storytelling to represent the history and identity of Mexico.
It uses colorful and striking costumes that reflect the cultural richness and tradition of each region. The dances presented include the Jarabe Tapatío (also known as the "jarabe dance" or "Mexican jarabe"), the Dance of the Little Old Men, the Dance of the Flyers, the Dance of the Chinelos, among others.
Our girls wear typical dresses from the province of Jalisco, and in the background stands out what I consider the most emblematic flower of Mexico, the marigold, which, for me, represents the possibilities of love's manifestation. ✨🥰
They will probably appear here more often, do you have any names in mind for them? 🤔
latina gal pals--as a transmasc person, big chests are very anxiety-inducing for me so i don't usually post stuff like that, but i'm trying to include a wider variety of bodies
