Theodoor Grimes

About

Theodoor Grimes is a Black trans digital artist known for his vibrant illustrations that center the queer experience under the moniker ggggrimes. Based in the Bronx, Theodoor is entirely self taught. ggggrimes’ work is known not only for its dedication to uplifting queer people, but also for its brilliantly colorful, lush, and peaceful depictions of life and queer sex. Theodoor often describes his work as a portrayal of queer people of color living happy, beautiful, and sexy lives: highlighting joyous and free worlds that every queer deserves. Theodoor’s illustrations are full of incredible detail and texture: tattoos, body hair, surgery scars, bulges, blushes, glistening bodies, and seemingly endless patterns. Inspired by graphic novels and manga, his portfolio boasts a large amount of comics and diverse smut, centering trans people receiving pleasure, not shying away from use of fetish or the supernatural, including demons with tentacles and abnormally long tongues.
