And the last one was based on Cheerleader by St Vincent.  I’m aiming to open commissions soon, so these should give an idea of my more painterly stuff, but there’s always my watercolour stuff and the line drawings, and even digital work. Expect a post about that sooner rather than later (hopefully)
I’ve had good times With some bad guys I’ve told whole lies With a half smile Held your bare bones With my clothes on I’ve thrown rocks That hit both my arms I don’t know what good it serves Pouring my purse in the dirt But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be your cheerleader no more But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be your cheerleader no more I’ve played dumb When I knew better Tried so hard Just to be clever I know honest thieves I call family I’ve seen America With no clothes on But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more I don’t know what I deserve But for you I could work Cause I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more I don’t wanna be a dirt eater no more I don’t wanna be a dirt eater no more I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

I’ve had good times
With some bad guys
I’ve told whole lies
With a half smile
Held your bare bones
With my clothes on
I’ve thrown rocks
That hit both my arms

I don’t know what good it serves
Pouring my purse in the dirt

But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be your cheerleader no more
But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be your cheerleader no more

I’ve played dumb
When I knew better
Tried so hard
Just to be clever
I know honest thieves
I call family
I’ve seen America
With no clothes on

But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
But I-I-I-I-I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

I don’t know what I deserve
But for you I could work

Cause I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don’t wanna be a dirt eater no more
I don’t wanna be a dirt eater no more
I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
