Bug Robbins (they/them)

A page of queer themed tattoo flash illuminated on a portable light box. There are gay frogs french kissing, a pinned green carnation, a little pansy with a heart, a cute sweating popper bottle with cartoon eyes, a little oat milk container with a cute cartoon face, a jean short butt with a bandanna hanging out of the pocket, a brick with Marsha written on it hitting a pig cop in the face, in bubble letters the words dyke, enby, and fag, and a little t4t in candy hearts. The border is in progress and checkerboard. Behind the flash sheet is a mug of tea and a tray with various colored acrylic inks

Oh y’all thought I was done making flash? Working on something fun-

#tattoo #flash #queer

Yesssss !!! 🐸

This is why I stick to more weirdos and neurodivergents these days. The communication is better and we stick around better/don’t see friendship like a collection but more like actual family

Was just musing about this with a friend, that people often treat me like I make their life more interesting but in the way an odd attraction detour adds whimsy to a vacation or a weird elective class unexpectedly enriches their knowledge/degree- then they move on

Is it dunlaps 👀

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender

Tired guy who was just trying to take their cats to the vet and not get hit on and read by multiple lesbians in the process

It was the belt of laughter and “of course they are.” After hearing the names of my pets from this particular dog lesbian that rly hit tho. Like fair enough I really am the queerest looking person in this office

I’m not even gonna get into dog lesbians vs cat lesbians, you could put them in a lineup and I’d have 💯 accuracy picking each out

Ok this gay next to me just cracked up and read me to filth when we got called “THEYRE VERY LEARNED”

Got me lmaoooo fuck 💀

The way I underestimated the signaling of having a cat named Sappho in a vet office RIFE with lesbians

jerry from tom and jerry crying with the words me right now lol ALT: jerry from tom and jerry crying with the words me right now lol

Someone has a cat in this vet office named Drew Barrymore I’m DYINGGG

“Drew Barrymore is here for drop off!”

U ever discover a thread of people saying nice things about you and your art after maybe the worst week of your life? 🫠❤️

I do too!! Mine was out for nearly a week right before my surgery, now every time it goes out I kinda panic tbh

🥰🐸🥰🐸🥰🐸

Like having x for your gender is objectively sexy, but forcing people to call the app you spent SO MUCH MONEY on X is objectively annoying. I don’t think I’d ever recover either lmao

Do you think Elon is just really jealous of our X gender markers and has to make it everyone’s problem?

Hate it when my friend traps me under a cup then slides a piece of paper under it and throws me outside. Do you have any idea how long it took me to get into your house?

Plus it’s an Odyssey allegory, its got everything 👌

Do a little wave at Howl in Hampden for me, I lived in Bmore for a decade and used to work there, love that city ✨

Bug holds up the shirt they designed on a slim black hanger in front of their bookshelf filled with all sorts of art and trinkets. The shirt is a light cream natural color and has a gay punk little frog doing a peace sign and holding a book. They have a beanie, septum piercing, sleeve of frog tattoos, jeans and platform black boots. On their jeans is a caribeaner with a dragonfly key. The frog is sitting on a mushroom on top of a giant lilypad, and to the right is a stack of books as tall as the frog. On the spines of 4 of the books it says “Read Books Be Gay” there is a little rainbow, clouds, and drawn sparkles at the top. Its all drawn in a very cute but printmakery and colorful style.

Its just rly rly cute and fun, the frog has a gay frog themed tattoo sleeve 🥲

When Out of Print asked “can you draw us a gay frog?” I replied “You’ve come to the right place.”

Its like soft felt it feels soooo wild, never had a cat with a down undercoat like this

Normally his chest would be even floofier, but he had to have some matts shaved off before I adopted him- also while Ovid is one of my favorite poets, and that’s what he’s named for- I learned recently the root Ovis means “sheep” and boy howdy is this guy basically a wooly “lil” sheep 🥲❤️

Happy #caturday from Ovid, what he lacks in braincell is compensated in Floof ❤️

Luigi Mangione’s ankles, demurely crossed, saddle leather loafers on his feet and wearing a pair of khaki chinos. Each ankle is cuffed with a chain dangling down between.

I am sweating like a victorian gentleman at this flash of ankle

listen man the federal government can only unperson me so many times

Omg congrats!! Can only hope to grow an audience like that here, would love to move away from instagram. All my recent stuff is in this thread & folks can find me @bugwithapen all the places✨

Cant just print all my poetry on normal colors. No that just wont do. Also who do I talk with at French abt getting text weight speckletone in 11x17 fr fr wtf
