Getting access to my old tech college accounts, messaged advising and learned I don’t need to retake all my classes that I did five years ago to complete my program 🥹

Portfolio sucks bc I focused on making gay mediocre illustrations that made me happy instead of product mock ups

I love knights.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Revisiting an old concept to help keep my drawing juices flowing 🙂‍↕️✏️

A black and white sketch that says ‘better luck next time!’ At the top and ‘0 lives left’ at the bottom. Charlotte perospero sits on a bomb in the center, posed like a ww2 bombshell pinup girl. The bomb is painted to resemble pedro.

A second job sounds like a total drag but that’s pretty big pants of me to assume I’d get it, and it would be less than 20 hrs a week, plus who knows if it’s even a real listing,, tho I won’t stop thinking about if I don’t apply
