So, I'm coming out online, again,
10 years ago
On another website, under a different name than the last 2 times. :) So, not all of you have figured this out yet, or even know about my other works, but I am also known on DeviantArt and BedBendersInc http://bedbendersinc.deviantart.com/gallery/. I started Art-Act, 'hence the name', as a means to creatively jot down my darker secrets and fetishes that the majority of my audience wouldn't care for. Ya know....dicks and stuff. I'm living proof you can be a hard core exclusive lesbian, and still find both sets of genitals as attractive.
I first came out as a girl on DA in 09, then as Trans in 2014, and now I'm admitting to my FA audience that I am the artist also known as BBI. Some won't know that name, some have already figured it out, and some don't care, lol. I never did this as a means to hide anything or scam anyone though, before anyone has that paranoia. I did it simply because, well, I deal with fear on a daily basis. My fans are wonderful, but they vary so much. Some can be hostile towards learning these things about an artist, when they thought they knew how deep the rabbit hole went. And personally I see kinks as kinks. I have a TON of fetishes, but the same rule applies to me no matter the name I use, and that's stuff like abuse or violence or rape or underage stuff "unless I have to describe a highly sexual character in a flash back when they were young".
Why come out now? well, for me, and for you guys. I'm doing no one favors by over working myself maintaining two identities. that leaves people on one account or the other some what frustrated or even mad at me and just makes everyone stressed. Also, I just am tired of having walls in my life, I want to have more personal and mental freedom than I have before. So, all of you who I am late or super late on commissions for, I am very very sorry, maybe now you have a better understanding as to why. And be annoyed at me if you must, but admitting this to everyone should make me able to work much smoother on both accounts.
that being said, I'm only really advertising this here. It's not a secret, I won't ask anyone not to tell the internet, but I still want this account to feel like my own sexual playground where I have little to no rules. And it it helps me to work on both accounts without having to switch gears mentally, it might make me produce more art and at a better speed. I will be revamping my commissions prices soon, to those who haven't paid, and the kind of commission you want ends up being cheaper than we originally planned, then you can have the cheaper price.
I'll update more, I just mostly wrote this to get the truth out there, not so much to settle the details. Thanks for the support you all have shown to me no matter the name I use. :)

Hopefully you'll have more ease and joy in your drawing no matter what account it might end up getting posted under. :3
<3 you.
your still awsome no matter what so just be happy and we will still love you.
I'm sorta feeling like I just saw someone on stage go "nothing up my sleeves... tadaaaah!" however. :)
BBI IS MY FAVORITE
AND ART-ACT IS MY FAVORITE
I assumed that I was just seeing things but now it makes sense. I like, buy and fav everything you do on tumblr too. Oh sheesh now I wished I tried harder at teaming up with you a few months back but I was in a bit of a funk and wasn't in the writing mood.
NEVER SHELTER YOURSELF YOU ARE AMAZING! You draw the coolest stuff, seriously, not even on a sexual level, but on a level of interest! (So cool)
i've been feeling really dysphoric this morning, and it helps to hear from other trans people.
But do your thing and not care as well
DO you as only you can.
I'm still gonna be watching you!
Oh well. No matter which account you use, your art is fantastic and I shall continue watching you.
What a weird thing to say! But the more I thought about it, the more I think I'm the same way. Gay, but bisexual?
Gay in relationships, bi with sexuality? I guess that works.
