Bangtan is back MY SHAYLAAA (Ｔ＿Ｔ)

throwback to my Life Goes On fanart
Digital illustration fanart of the band BTS. Photos spread across the table, highlighting warm and comforting moments where the members laugh and enjoy themselves. In the middle is all 7 of them in pajamas, giggling and piling on each other, written words "what a relief that we are seven".

I realized I have not posted the full image on here. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to do #graphicrecording for the Commitment panel at the #GlobalDisabilitySummit 2025! It was a great learning opportunity to stroll around and see all the work being done around the globe!

An information-packed, colorful digital illustration capturing the main ideas of the panel “Leading The Way: Featuring the Most Impactful Commitments for Disability Inclusion in Development Cooperation”. The title sits clearly in the middle, illustrated by three people with disabilities looking up and forward to the future. Fanning out from the title, a circle contains the commitments by the three co-hosts of the Global Disability Summit 2025: Germany, Jordan, and the International Disability Alliance. Surrounding the circle are 9 distinct sections featuring the commitments of 9 organizations, each illustrated with straightforward symbols and keywords. The sections are outlined with four alternating colors: yellow, green, orange, and blue. A light blue frame ties everything together as well as holds the event logos and the artist’s signature at the bottom. All the illustrations and texts are hand drawn and hand written, giving the artwork an organic look.

#gouache #painting #selfportrait #gouacheportrait #acrylicgouache #portraitpainting #dopamineart #tonyschocolonely
A sketchbook laid tilted, displaying a bright, colorful gouache portrait of a young Southeast Asian woman with shoulder length hair, cheekily glancing up. A brush and paint palette is included in the photo, as to suggest the process of how the portrait was painted. The vibrant red wrapping paper of Tony's chocolate is glued on the page to serve as the base for the portrait. A zoom in of the person's face and hair, showing obvious thick brush strokes, especially the highlights in her eyes and glasses. Decorative stars drawn with colored pencil litter across her hair and face.

I understand the intention behind this sentiment (that you should find joy despite it all), but it does reinforce this idea that "disability" and "the self" can be neatly separated.

Here's how my #EDS #autism and #ADHD influence "my whole personality" (1/4)

Well if my disability is influencing how and even IF i can do things i that aligns with my identity/personality, it's a bit hard to not let it influence me.

conversation with the ancestors
Three panel comic. The first panel shows a person at a drawing tablet, looking frustrated. She says "I must think of deep, meaningful things to draw!" The second panel shows the same person looking up at a caveman crouching nearby, drawing a cow. They say, "No you don't." And the person at the tablet replies "Wow, you're right!" Panel 3 shows the caveman giving a thumbs up while the tablet person says "Thanks, ghost of neanderthal! Wow, you did thumbs up too?" The caveman replies "Hell yeah."

belated but Happy Year of the Snake 🐍✨

it's my zodiac year, so i thought to combine the snake with the flower that i was named after, "Quỳnh" (Epiphyllum)

#art #ChineseNewYear #snake #procreate #YearoftheSnake
An inked digital drawing of a thin venomous snake winding around a flowering plant. The Epiphyllum flowers are in different stage of blooming, its flowers and leaves weave in front and behind the snake's body. The subject of the art is solid white against a rich red background.

and you need to live alongside the horrors. you need to live and breath and be outside and give a hello nod and play stupid mobile games and work your boring job and cook a cozy dinner

each person who can hold hope in their heart adds a marble into our collective hope jar

I'm gonna go to the caps lock for this: THE ONLY EFFECTIVE WAY TO PREVENT THE EXHAUSTION AND BURNOUT THE FASCISTS ARE RELYING ON YOU TO FALL INTO IS TO LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO HORRORS, KEEP YOUR ACTIVISM CONCRETE AND EFFECTIVE, AND DO OTHER THINGS WITH AS MUCH FERVOR AS YOU DO ACTIVISM.
