I made a stack of almost all the 250+ pages of #thecoldfirecomic and that is a hefty pile! There's going to be hard choices as to which pages make it into the show ... ⚔️

Years ago when I said I wouldn't spend as much time online, removed old posts, and didn't think online spaces were healthy or good for activism-ish things like working in your community, people took my head off and said YOU ARE NOT OF THE BODY. Now they're all "taking internet breaks". Yeah. OK. Ha.

Head and shoulder shot of 1970s era Captain Marvel from Marvel comics. His eyes are angry and red and his face has otherwise been completely replaced by stars planets. What look like a couple of exploding stars. Narration: “… And THIS man can protect it. For he is now COSMICALLY AWARE!“

Started mucking around with gouache. Had been using it to fix my comics for years without realizing what a rad medium this is. Holbein gouache made in Japan. Ref: satinezillah.com #Portrait #gouache #yycarts

Another oil pastel study, seeing how far I can take a monochromatic feel with my palette of pastel sticks at the time. Painted on rag paper, my favourite for oil pastels these days by far.

A blue painting of a teen sitting in a chair in an arcade with game machines behind, lit by blue light and the neon decorations and signs of the games, wearing a striped tshirt and jeans, with light skin and straight brown hair past their shoulders.
