Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us.

Foto meme de um tipo de efeito dominó em que as peças ficam gradativamente maiores, um homem esta prestes a derrubar a peça menor onde o texto diz em inglês "learning to draw" (aprendendo a desenhar) e na peça maior no final da fileira o texto diz "everybody knowing what your fetishes are" (todo mundo descobrindo quais seus fetiches são).

Disappeared, right before my eyes

Black and white drawing with screen tones. A group of people from a circle holding hands in the woods. Their heads warp and their shadows stretch out as one of the people becomes a beam of light. Dark palm trees and eucalyptus frame stars overhead.

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

I'm pepper, a Mexican freelance illustrator based in AZ.
I love drawing original characters (mostly cute guys) and fashion (chunky shoes and equally chunky accessories).
I've worked on album cover art, mobile game character design, original apparel, and merch.
