The layered media—Prismacolor, ink, graphite, and acrylic—mimic the surface quality of an instant photograph, but with the textures and imperfections of hand-rendered care. Cushenberry’s work often walks a line between documentation and diaristic fiction, and in this piece, the setting (complete with toilet paper roll and pink towel) underscores the ordinary with an uncanny sense of presence. At once modest and monumental, the drawing recalls the traditions of self-portraiture while reinventing them for a social media age—but without the screen, without the filter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eObject: Drawing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTitle: Self-Portrait\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist: Edward Cushenberry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDate: ca. 2020s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnique: Prismacolor, ink, graphite, and acrylic paint\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium: Bristol paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 10.8 × 8.9 cm (4.25 × 3.5 in)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned: Yes, verso\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Very good, with minor edge wear and surface marks typical of artist’s materials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvenance: Private Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52336951689554,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/DSC4476_14308626-f5d8-4d7b-9bf4-b85dc6fb09a2.jpg?v=1767989370"},{"product_id":"nah-i-don-t-want-to-talk-about-it-prismacolor-ink","title":"“Nah… I Don’t Want to Talk About It…” — Prismacolor \u0026 Ink","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its compact scale and Polaroid-like border, this signed piece by Edward Cushenberry captures a still moment brimming with withheld emotion.

Dressed in a faded pink shirt with a mysterious black-and-white badge and surrounded by stylized foliage, he gazes beyond the viewer with a sharp, ambiguous calm.

The comic-like line work and stylized perspective are reminiscent of early 2000s indie zines and artists like Raymond Pettibon or Ron Regé Jr., while the bold, flat color palette — greens, pinks, sea blues — gives the image graphic power without losing its vulnerability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere’s something cinematic in the framing, something of the paused film still or the unspoken moment between strangers.

A woman lies back on a bed, one arm resting across her body, her t-shirt lifted to reveal both a printed mask-like face and her own bare chest. Her eyes are shut, lips parted, and legs loosely drawn—yet the posture feels more protective than relaxed. Beneath her, the caption lands with heat and hesitation: “Don’t make me regret my orgasm!” It’s a line that could be funny, furious, or already too late.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawn in Cushenberry’s signature mixed media—Prismacolor, ink, graphite, and acrylic—the work pushes flatness and texture to the edge. The colors hum with emotional saturation: dusty purples, bruised reds, muted blue, the almost neon-pink of the bedding. There’s a surreal detail in the shirt design, a stylized face with doubled eyes, as if to echo the tension between outer cool and inner multiplicity. The drawing feels like it belongs to the lineage of underground comics, sex-positive zines, and grainy bedroom films, but its tone is fully Cushenberry’s: observational, irreverent, and quietly fierce.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece belongs to the ongoing series in which Cushenberry blends private moments and public posture, sex and self-awareness, youth culture and emotional residue.
