My partner, Bay Ryan, is a transmasc non-binary person who lives in New Zealand; his pronouns are he/him or they/them. This page is dedicated towards helping Bay find support by promoting his services (we eventually want to have him do sex work directly through my site, but for now I’m promoting his links and content on this page).
Permissions: Any publicly available images are exhibited for purposes of education, transformation and critique, thus fall under Fair Use; private nude material and collabs with models are specifically shared with permission from the original owner(s). For more details about artist permissions, refer to the book disclaimer attached to each series of my blog-style book promotion; i.e., for my upcoming volumes; e.g., “Brace for Impact,” “Searching for Secrets,” and “Deal with the Devil.”
Concerning Buggy Images: Sometimes the images on my site don’t always load and you get a little white-and-green placeholder symbol, instead. Sometimes I use a plugin for loading multiple images in one spot, called Envira Gallery, and not all of the images will load (resulting in blank white squares you can still right-click on). I‘ve optimized most of the images on my site, so I think it’s a server issue? Not sure. You should still be able to access the unloaded image by clicking on the placeholder/right-clicking on the white square (sometimes you have to delete the “?ssl=1” bit at the end of the url).
To that, Bay is disabled and does sex work to support himself. This means that he partially relies on the help of friends and donations through mutual aid requests in order to make ends meet. Currently he is on hiatus but you can support his work in a variety of ways:
- directly on his OnlyFans (where he still produces a small amount of regular content)
- sharing his work on Twitter/Bluesky
- donating to his Ko-Fi
Donate; get a drawing! Large donations to Bay will also get a drawing from me. Donations of $45 USD will get you a personalized sketch, $60 a colored sketch, $90 a rough pinup, and $110 a fully-rendered pin-up of your choice. These drawings are still subjected to my usual terms of service and hard limits; to learn what those are, refer to my commissions pages and TOS.
Commission me; support Bay! Conversely if you purchase a commission from me, some of the money will go towards Bay’s mutual aid and some of it will go my travel fund to see Bay in person. Either way, Bay will receive money from your contributions.
How to contact me: If you a) want to help Bay by purchasing a commission from me directly, or b) have donated to Bay at the time of publishing this page (12/1/2023), you can contact me on DA, Facebook, Twitter, Bluesky and Discord; my username is the same on all of them: vanderWaardart (it’s vanderWaardart86 on Tumblr). You can also use my website’s contact form, which puts you in touch with my business e-mail. When messaging me, please provide proof of your donation; once I confirm, I will add you to a queue and we can talk shop. 🙂
Bay co-wrote and is helping edit my book as I write/illustrate it:
He’s also the cover model for the first volume (which you can access here) and makes many appearances inside its pages:
He appears in the book, in different illustrations:
He also has a fursona that is drawn by many artists. Here are several samples (by squicklings and tofu_froth); to view them all, go to Refsheet (and enable NSFW viewing):
He makes content with different people, including one of his partners, Beat; both appear in my book series (e.g., “A Paucity of Time,” 2024):
