“[Art] is something I’ve always done, so I figured I might as well do it forever. With art, you only get better right?” muses Eww Germs, an artist whose colorful, femme-powered digital illustrations cascade across multiple social media platforms. Embracing fantasy and the rpg (role playing game) aesthetic, Eww infuses her drawings with elements of the modern, channeling characters like Murga the Warrior, Dava the Mage, Sky the Healer and BiBi the Thief. Germs wants her characters to come off as “strong, cute and with natural/protective hairstyles.” Although she is currently working digitally via Photoshop, she is leaning toward diving back into more traditional mediums. Creatively speaking, her biggest challenges are “self doubt, the usual depressive bullshit and drawing hands.” Right now, she’s working on her “Get Money” series, a two-part drawing about four maidens who are making it rain. She’s also got themed sticker sets of her four leading characters on the way, some of which will be made into pins and charms.
