Hi Maia! I was rereading Gender Queer and I only just realized you have a DeviantArt! (from the artist meme page, lol.)
I'm super excited to find more of your art here, and I also wanted to say that your book is amazing and I really appreciate how open you were with sharing your struggles with gender identity and your journey with discovering your identity. I was born and identify as female, but I hated being a girl and having expectations of being "girly," so I could relate to some of the same views about female expectations. And on the rare occasion I use humanoids in artwork that expresses my emotions, I prefer to use gender ambiguous forms:
Anyway, I'm really excited to find your dA page and seeing more of your art! 
Many thanks Maia for faving "Winter Comes to the Moors". It is much appreciated, as is your continuing support. 
Thank you for the favorite. Beautiful and interesting work! 
Many thanks Maia for adding "How to Eclipse a Mini!" to your favourites. It is much appreciated.
