Creative Fixes - With Ramadan is in 2 months and it's the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth, it was my pleasure to illustrate for @DifferentAshley's joyous story for the anthology Once Upon An Eid!
Thinking about my first ever art gig and it was drawing feminist comics for a tiny lil site, for $15 a pop. That was my first time realizing that people would actually pay me for art-- huge confidence boost for 19 yr old me ahaha
my artistic process lately
A quick refresher I did with my art team at @play_multiverse to practice how to understand your references, and use them meaningfully and in a way that keeps the energy in your sketches! our team does weekly foundation sessions together just to keep our brain juices going
No one did it like Bill Watterson

Me: please send me updates of my cat My lil bro: ok
Left: it's 2014, I'm a high schooler. I got my signed copy of the Legend of Korra art book when I met one of the co-creators. Told him I became an artist because of the Avatar series. Right: 2021. I get to share that I co-created an official Avatar story for Free Comic Book Day.
One of those days
