Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy.
Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie.

I'm still learning how to understand her.

Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo?
Do you need to do a widdle piddle?

Minnie: Arf!

*I just call her "little baby" most of the time.

I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now.
Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy.
Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now.

Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers.

I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless.
The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective.

I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition.
ICE will pick up anybody.

I know that.

So I tucked my passport away.

And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too.
And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized.
We'll do our best to get through this.

Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Hi #portfolioday !

I’m RADINSKY, an illustrator who is currently studying environmental law

I am currently on stand-by for big projects until next summer, but I will be looking for opportunities for smaller projects in the near future !

Digital illustration depicting a one-armed french world war one soldier in a field of tall grass. He is ablaze as he smokes a cigarette and holds his rifle lanyard with his hand. In the background are church ruins in foggy weather. The tones are blue and orange.

Illustration depicting a terrifyingly skinny woman with long silver hair parted towards the front. The illustration depicts her from behind. She's missing an arm and has a damaged prothestic limb as replacement. She's holding a cutter pointed towards a bright red square in the centre of her spine

Digital painting of an abandoned barn and hanger by the train tracks on a stormy, orange day - the hanger has graffiti on it, and the small shack in the back has its door open out of which a red glow eminates

Digital illustration of a young woman with long, silver hair and wooden antlers, poking out of her skull and eye sockets. In between her open hands, and all over her face, red rot is crawling reminiscent of guts
He's wearing a thick jumper with "Sarajevo 1984" in reference to the 1984 Sarajevo olympics

Hello I haven’t drawn anything since forever. I am doing some other task at work and for some reason I feel less depressed. Is drawing and painting and being an artist tied to depression?? What if I stop being an artist one day and that’s the day my depression ends ?!
