Jess Draws / bumblechub

bumblechub is a fat queer artist based in Madison, WI. she works mostly digitally using free apps and software, and has been dabbling in zine-making and collage lately. she likes making art about bugs, niche hyperlocal topics, pets of friends and family, love, and justice. 

I use the MediBang Paint app on my phone with a simple stylus to draw, PhotoPea (a free web based Photoshop clone) to make collages, and Canva for word art.

I'm happiest when I get to witness other people making art - whether it's weird, ugly, bizarre, cute, shocking, deeply meaningful or absolutely meaningless, traditional or abstract. I'm a strong believer in most things being "art" if you look at them from the right angle.

I'm always open for swaps! Please email or message me for my address and to see what art I have on hand at the moment! I am also delighted by postcards that promote something really dull with no aesthetic merits. I also want the weird postcards you have sitting around that you don't know who to send them to!

the word bumblechub is a portmanteau of bumble (as in bumblebee) and chub (as in chubby).  what could be cuter than a fat little bee?
