I’m a Black graphic illustrator from PDX, interested in the beautiful and bizarre (and sometimes grotesque). I work mostly traditionally with colored pencils and posca markers. I sell stickers and originals in my ko-fi store!

The despair is getting difficult to fight off everyday. But I - and we - must persist.

Aghhh I hate when I get into the flow of drawing, but then the sketches become *too precious* to continue. It’s so dumb. I run into this so often, and I keep psyching myself out because I think Imma ruin the art!

What got me into art? I really like cool things and I wanted to “possess” cool things as much as possible. My first sketchbook was literally me drawing pretty girls from media I loved and needing a piece of it for myself.
With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.

Saying that people get autism by taking Tylenol is blatant misinformation. Everyone knows that you get autism from watching Sister Act 2: Back in the habit (/jk)

I lost my blackwing pencil sharpener again. 2x within a year probably means I’m not meant to have one lol.

Man I ain’t ever read a book with such longing and intimacy like The Everlasting (by @alixeharrow.bsky.social). I’m 80 pages in and my heart feels like its two seconds away from being shoved off a cliff. The excitement of the drop and pain to follow 😭

Hey my new website and shop is open 👋🏾 it’s nothing fancy, but as an effort to slowly divest from conglomerate social media, it’s important to house my work somewhere I control! My shop is also open there. I’ll be leaving my ko-fi shop open for now.

It’s seriously that simple. Stop buying Harry Potter merch and watching any associated media you don’t already own.
idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple
A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Hope is active. Doom is inactive. Every time you say “it’s over” you have completely given up and simply handed it all to the fascists.
The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.
