@tommy_aches

a somewhat multidisciplinary artist who’s work has been described as, ‘a beautifully tender portrayal of queer intimacy’ and  ‘spectral, haunting’, -The Skinny.

My work naturally leans toward longing, place and people a like. It’s often dark and wildly underexposed. Much like myself. 

Making porn and erotic work seems the most true to myself as a being so it made sense to pursue it. Plus I find sharing my diary way more exposing than being nude.
