ran across these pre-covid comics from 2019 and... I love being ethnically ambiguous so much, I either end up deeply confusing / disappointing ppl, or just being adopted on sight
bonus comic of the moment when you, a vague ass looking adult exchange glances with a mixed couple & their vague ass offspring, n' all parties get emotional just via eye contact, like yea, it will probably be hard for your child, but see? we can make it, we make it all the time
slowly & shyly revealing some art from my first graphic novel pitch I finished last week... ✨ it's been a balm to the soul to create a story that means so much to me, and w a lead of black & indigenous descent ? here are the 3 central characters, I love them with all of me
hello & happy may day from Proletariat Pug (cw: gore, child labor / slavery) made this barely 2 years ago & it's incredible how much worse the wealth gap, ecological destruction and global politics have become in just that time. we really got nothing to lose but our chains.
i just need to say that I love golden kamuy so much & can't believe the manga is on it's final arc 😭 first series I've ever known to not shy away from imperialism & indigenous struggle 🥺 Sugimoto is truly the ideal man: silly n soft until he ain't... plus, politics on point 😂
part 1/2 - postin from the lands of Kiikaapoi, Peoria, Potawatomi, Myaamia & Ochethi Sakowin people... aka Chicago (derived from a native word for garlic, which is perfect for me cuz I live here now!)
was going to limit this to my instagram story but it happened again last night and I... 🥲
u ever love someone so symmetrical, so pretty, that it ruins your perception of self? 😒
happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay !! when I drew this 3 yrs ago I NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️
never shared this in full anywhere before, but w the attacks on our rights, "protect the kids", & violence at schools acknowledging #pride month? I have a personal story for you. cw: child death, gun violence, hate crimes, racism (alt text included) (1/3)
feature about my ancestry for @thenib 's Power issue is up. it's the most personal / intense comic I've done & is historical & autobiographical... would mean a lot if you read it, especially if you're white or USAmerican. you'll learn something new. ? https://t.co/XfVmDStrSv
throwback 2 this boy who was both upset & moved by the word choice "beautiful"... like I had just played the exodia card to his blue eyes white dragon at the end of our duel… but how else can one describe those eyes? ? (I heard it's #NationalAnimeDay #comic #callboyspretty2020)
heatwave's hitting LA & it's not even May yet... many more nights like this ahead... ? #comics #Oil #summer
