# Feygele

A sheyd (Jewish demon) inspired by two major stylistic influences, Leonard Baskin & Aubrey Beardsley, and also by the #AugustAdiPOSE & #FatArt hashtags on Twitter. The title/text “feygele” is a Yiddish word meaning “little bird” often used as slang for a queer person – here also playing off the figure’s size & the bird-like attributes of sheydim in folklore. A queer/trans fat Jewish aspiration!
