I love the internet, I have been chronically online since I was like 8. Do you know how bad shit has to be for someone like ME to consider giving up on it all together? UI design is in the TOILET. Everything needs an account or money. You can't even read recipes without fighting against 300 ads.
Like how are you not embarrassed 😫
I am so SICK of websites not working I could scream. I shouldn’t have to get my LAPTOP OUT TO READ A NEW YORK POST ARTICLE ON THEIR OWN SITE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
happy 4/20 to those who celebrate
A digital art piece or two masculine Native American characters in a corn field. The one on the right sits on the ground, holding a basket of corn with the purple Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) flag woven into the backet's design. Standing behind them, on the left, is a male character who leans over the one on the right to kiss his nose from behind, also placing an ear of corn into his backet at the same time. The one standing wears a breechcloth and leggings, and has red tattoos on his arms. The one sitting also wears a breechcloth, but also wears a bead necklace and a purple armband, his hair tied up with a purple ribbon.
Ok now that I'm finally a little less busy, here's my full piece for We've Always Been Here from @taplingzines.bsky.social !
Both characters are Haudenosaunee, and the one sitting is two-spirit (and mixing a couple diffent gender norms!) 🥰

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.
The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here"
The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨

Two Mesoamérican lesbians embrace after sealing their love in a precolonial commitment ceremony (in the rain forest background there is an altar with fruits and smoke offerings to bless their union) the sun shines on their love and the turtles in the foreground represent how natural and beautiful queer love is
I can finally share my full illustration for We’ve Always Been Here AND we were fully funded 🥳
Thank you to @taplingzines.bsky.social for all the hard work y’all put into this project I can’t wait to get my copy 💖
I loved drawing my mesoamerican lesbians 🥹💖
Paramount must be BROKE over that streaming service to miss out on the box office gold that was the new new avatar movie
It’s actually devastating to me that it got leaked because of Paramount’s own corporate greed.
This movie deserved to be seen in theaters. It was built to be in theaters and has the appropriate scale in terms of animation and score.
The leaked avatar movie was genuinely so good. Legitimately a candidate for movie of the year imo. If you would’ve told me in 2007 that this was what in store for the franchise I never would’ve believed you.
There’s a family wedding coming up, my fam is pretty relaxed/casual so invites went out to parents and they were supposed to distribute the information accordingly.
My dad told me nothing, I got told by my grandma and my cousin was the one to send me the rsvp information.
But I’m the villain 🤔 ok
Every generation needs its Galaxy Quest: a movie that, despite every individual element screaming that it can't be good, is actually good
Some of the linocut tote designs I’ll have for @detroitzinefest.bsky.social

#indieartist #queerart
Genuinely hate that most websites I try to interact with are so broken they’re unusable 💀
I miss the old internet so fucking bad
For reference: the puppy had very little to do with the cats blockage, the cat had experienced the death of two other dogs within a year (they were 13 and 16 it was just their time) and i as a first time cat owner didn’t realize stress is literally a cat kiler
We had a blockage scare around the time we adopted our puppy and the cat had to go to emergency vet and we were like omg we’re gonna have rehome the dog and it was a WHOLE THING so to see them getting so close to snugging, they already play together all day I’m just so happy they love each other 😭
My babies are really becoming besties 🥹😭
I think it comes from the experience of the ways my white mom tried to remove me from brownness and center whiteness.
I grew up constantly hearing her cry about how I “didnt like being white and was ashamed of being white” it didn’t end in childhood, it went all the way till I cut her off 💀
My dream of having a non white mom runs so deep. Every mom on tv I was obsessed with was an extension of that desire.
I’m lowkey really happy that if I do have children they will have what I wanted so bad.
God I cannot wait to get this book, I think I’m more excited for my copy of the book than I am for payment 💀though this is my first paid zine!!!! So basicallyyyy we’re moving on up baybee
Digital painting of queer, trans Filipinos in a colonial-era house hanging out together and dressing up in formal attire. In one corner is the flag of the Katipunan suggesting they are members of the Philippine revolution.

A digital illustration of two Igorot men, one Bontoc and one Ibaloi, about to kiss. The Ibaloi man, who wears a white blanket, holds the Bontoc man's face. The Bontoc man, who wears red, looks surprised. The Sleeping Beauty Mountain in Kalinga is in the background. In the sky, there are yellow clouds and a light rainbow. The ground is littered with arrows.

A watercolor illustration depicting two black cowboys on horses. They are leaning towards in an intimate way, and there is a faint rainbow in the sky above them. A white lasso ropes its way around the border to capture an inset of them kissing.

A digital, softly painted piece of two Welsh lesbians dressed in traditional attire relax together in a field of daffodils. One reads a book as she lays a limb difference on her adoring partner looking up at her, laid in her lap. The laid down woman strokes a Calico kitten's head. The two are hit with soft, warm sunlight.

A softly lit watercolor painting of three panels, bordered by intricately painted branches of pomegranate and orange trees. The first panel, in the top left corner, shows both men kissing with one pressed against an intricately tiled wall in the Alhambra palace. One man has rich, warm brown skin and a turquoise headwrap that falls down over his shoulders and coat, which is decorated in intricate golden swirl patterns. The man kissing him has richer cooler-toned dark brown skin, with a white headwrap clipped together with a golden pin, wearing a white robe with intricate gold and red-gem inset details. Both have facial hair. The central painting, the largest panel, shows both men sitting in a public bath, although they are alone, gazing closely at each other, looking like they're about to kiss, arms resting on their legs as they gaze softly. They both have small, damp fabric around their waists, the colors matching their respective outfits. The man in the white cloth has braided cornrows, in a traditional Amazigh style. The man in the blue cloth gazes slightly down into his eyes, with his leg extended over the ledge of the bath, showing intricately painted and extensive burn scars including contractions. A cane rests on the shadowed wall beside him. The bath room itself is a pale yellow stone, shadowed in purple washes, with a central inset section bordered by a pattern of turquoise, dark blue, green, and red diamond tiles, interspersed with white tiles. The central inset part has the same pattern, but far smaller and more detailed. The final panel, in the bottom left, shows the turquoise and indigo robe of one of the men as he walks, using his cane, with his lover's hand holding his back for support. The blue robe has even more intricate swirling gold patterns, with a red sash and gold metal piece tying it together at the waist. A washy watercolor part hints at a garden in the background.
