I've really been on an art kick recently, something that hasn't happened in over a decade (fuck I sound old as hell... damnit lol). From 16 to now (27) I've been wavering creatively but now I feel the artistic energy growing more and more each day

Full color version of the pic on the right. I'm calling it 'Your Title Here'. The idea behind that is the viewer can say whatever they feel what would a good name could be. I'm extending the creative process to anyone that enjoys my art. It's a layer of marker then color pencil on top of to it. I'm not sure if I should sell it later on or keep it to myself...

Today I got new food and treats for my cat, got clothes for my performance on Thursday, paid my internet bill, my electric bill, and a debt collections payment. 👏🏾

I’m not out of the woods yet as work hasn’t officially started but it’s a better place than I was 2 weeks ago. I’m still in need to have a total of $3,000 minimum to take care of my October expenses. Thank you for all your support! 💜💐

‼️ UPDATE ON THIS EMERGENCY ‼️

I’ve hired the contractor for the roof! Signed paperwork on Friday! The company will be starting work in 3 weeks. This morning, they sent a technician to properly tarp up my roof! I’ve been advised to fix the ceiling last.

‼️ EMERGENCY CONTINUES ‼️

I’m circulating a new mutual aid graphic for my October needs. A portion of my ceiling collapsed, a new roof is needed, & it’ll be getting cold soon.

I need a minimum of $3,000 RIGHT NOW.

WHITE PEOPLE? I know you’re following me. Over a THOUSAND of you. DO SOMETHING.
