the inspiration vs. the drawing (DND character edition) #dndcharacterart #barbarian #portrait #digitalart
A collage of photos, some in color and some greyscale. At the top, pink text reads "the inspiration vs. the artwork: dnd character edition." As you look closer, all of them except one portray the same woman—sometimes holding a gun, sometimes teaching, sometimes smiling, sometimes serious. The repeated face is Leila Khaled, noted as facial reference. "Look at the way she gestures with this knife," one text box intones. The final image, which wears a stylish earth-toned loose-fit outfit but a completely different face, is labeled "inconspicuous outfit." A digital drawing of a woman in a bright orange work uniform carrying a canvas bag. Her face mirrors Leila Khaled's, wide eyed and intense. The pose and the outfit are taken directly from the "inconspicuous outfit" reference, though the color has become much more conspicous in its vibrant orange glory. On-screen text boxes read "guys this is the first time I've drawn a person that looks like a real actual person" and "like, yeah, there's room for improvement, but I'm so proud of this."

“we find a way.” colored pencil on paper, 2025.

what do we do when everything humanity has made seems at odds with our nature? we find a way. we bloom anyway.
Colored pencil drawing. Upward view at the roof of a garage, where wild sunflowers grow in the gutter. Building is green juxtaposed against a sunset sky, flowers facing the setting sun. Sky is an array of oranges and pinks fading into a dark blue, cotton-candy pink clouds scattering the sun’s last beams.

Poem text on a pink background. A digital color drawing of a knife on a cutting board surrounded by partially-cut vegetables sits below the poem. The poem, titled “community,” reads: “you, me, us, in the quiet midevening, laughter in the kitchen, talk breaking for singing, sharing tips to make living in a life made of knives less sharp.”

A vaguely floral background with pink and orange text over the top. Text reads: My Delights. D- Deliciousness - eating something that fills me with joy. E- Enthrallment - becoming deeply engaged in something; hyperfocus. L- Love - spending time with those I love. I- Improvement - working towards being better at something that is important to me. G- Goofing - having a good laugh at something. H- Harmony - moments of connection where I feel deeply at peace and alignment with someone or something else. T- Transcendence - moments where I feel a deep connection to something larger than myself or a deeper sense of self. S- Strolling - going for a walk to just enjoy the world. Wildcard: something that may not be one of the delights, but fills me with delights nonetheless.

winter is a political ideology— #goodsoup #warmthfromwithin #hopeindarkness #communityheals
Poem on an off-white text box over a green background. Color sketch of a pot of soup at the bottom. Text reads: winter is a political ideology— I was born to the importance of sunsets and dandelions. I am learning that thistles and midnights matter, too, that there is as much beauty in a spider as a butterfly and as much bravery in a goodbye as in a hello. Joy makes a home in warmth, but perhaps the time has come to appreciate the cold. The winter is growing close, I see. There is no more sunlight when I leave to work in the morning than there is when my dull shadow finds home. But in the winter, there will be soup. In the darkness, we will shape candles and sing songs. We will make the warmth.

A four panel comic. Panel 1: A pink lily (amaryllis belladonna) looks at a white button mushroom sitting on a stump, whose eyes are closed. The mushroom says, "It's funny, how since the Great Eye Opening, everyone keeps their eyes closed!" Panel 2: The pink lily opens their mouth. Panel 3: The pink lily closes their mouth. Panel 4: The pink lily looks at the camera.

this year, I'm thankful for all the indigenous voices who educate us about the history of genocide embedded in thanksgiving.

black text over a fall street scenery background. text says "do you understand that it has never been about the turkey? —that it has always been about telling a story? you, who have been told the story so many times you cannot concieve of questioning the teller. you, who are the storyteller now set the stage —turkey, mash, stuffing, bible— for your annual performance of thanks. are you ready to look behind the curtain? do you understand someone holds the strings? "
