Tom Christophersen is an award winning Sydney based, Queer performer and visual artist
Tom Christophersen is an award winning Sydney based, Queer performer and visual artist whom is as petrified of beautiful things and death as much as they are transfixed by them. It is primarily the car-crashing of these two themes which permeate the hyper-realistic, almost surrealistic, often dark portraits and films they make.
Tom aims to bring focus back to portraiture that is of a level of detail it demands an intimate level of engagement from the viewer. Working almost exclusively on watercolour paper with watercolour pencil and acrylic, Tom hopes their traditional, technical approach to drawing and painting provide a fresh, immediate offering to portraiture and indeed representation of the self. The figures and themes within Tomβs work are often autobiographical and based on real life experiences.

For the @incognitoartshow
In the mid 60s Warhol did her big one and found a way to frame a queer sexual act in such a way that it was shown in galleries and museums across the world, to roomfuls of horny curators and bisexual art-film aficionados, to this day.
Warholβs most vulnerable and perverse fantasies about routine celebrity and the commercialisation of sexuality are such common practice in 2026 I think even he would get the ick at how accurate he got it.
Despite this, mainstream society still remains chaste and sexuality, nakedness and art that deals with these subjects is still heavily censored or removed from digital platforms as a rule. A frustrating binary opposition.
By reimagining Warholβs βBlow Jobβ as an isolated solo act and drawing this triptych of screenshots from a real c*mshot created and performed for monetary gain, I am patching this work with a cursed update.
What do these expressions mean when Iβm making myself perform them for you and they cost you $12.99 a month to see? What is real?
How are *you* feeling, watching me perform this feeling for you? Do you feel good seeing my body feel good? Is it working? (I donβt care).
Thank you to @drawingnicholasnyc for being such an incredible collaborator, model and for and helping me realise this series.

Shot on i-Type Polaroid Film
Full photoset coming to my Patre0n next week. π€‘
ββThe disk contained a single file, called βTestA.rtf.β The fileβs contents were the usual BTK taunts and threats, along with a promise that ββalny communications will have a # assigned from now on, encase one is lost or not found.β
BTKβs messages were notorious for poor spelling, but was there some hidden significance to this particular spelling glitch? βEnCaseβ is one of the premiere computer forensic software platforms-and if BTK was knowledgeable about its use, to what extent might he have tampered with his own digital trail to confuse or mislead the investigators?
The disk soleβs active, allocated file was this βTestA.rtfβ communique, but running the disk through EnCase revealed a second document, a deleted file-an agenda for a church council meeting of the Christ Lutheran Church, which had been last saved by a user identified as βDennis.ββ
