A screenshot of an Instagram story posted by @kurohtak1 "April mutual aid, things are finally moving but I need your help to make payments for April. Nothing is set in stone yet, but with your help you can make my transition easier. Any amount helps but I need to raise funds for utilities bills! And with gas prices on the rise, I can't door dash anymore. Donation links VN: KurohTak1 CA: $KurohTak GFM: https://gofund.me/2568fcc11 Latest update: Hi everyone! So nothing has come in so far and bills are coming up this weekend. I could really use the help as most of the last 100 dollars I had vent to travel cost for interviews and gas. Nothing to announce yet but it's really important I'm able to pay those bills!! Please share this around so I can get some help hopefully by the end of this week

Hey everyone, my friend Jae could really need some urgent help. They have bills to pay this weekend and have received no donations so far. The goal at the moment is $500

Illustration of Guy Fieri as a paper doll. With camo pants, acid wash jeans, bowling shorts and leather jacket.

Got to illustrate something for Eater’s special 20th anniversary edition over the Summer. It’s a Guy Fieri Paper Doll! I had a lot of fun drawing some fantasy outfits (lots of camo reference pics) and creating my own “Flavortown” biker style t-shirt. Thanks to Nat for the AD!
