Pomegranate lust
Image description: A drawing of two queer cowboys sharing an intimate, nearly naked kiss on a starry night in a mixed media desert scene. One sits on a fence while the other stands. The person sitting on the fence only wears cowboy boots and socks, the other person only wears heels, stockings, and a cowboy hat.
Fraea Best is a sassy/shy/queer artist based in Nova Scotia. Before moving in late 2023, Fraea lived and worked in BC as a Tattoo Artist and Illustrator. Their works draw from vintage nudes and are driven by the desire to see more representation of beautiful queer, thick, and diverse worlds that exist.
