was already planning on doing this at a two-story bar in specific
inspired by the "they dont know" meme where the man is standing in the corner: the artist dagger is sitting on a couch in a black kn95 with a tablet and pen in their hand. They are wearing a knit beanie over locs. A partier says "dagger , what's uppppp" and they respond "definitely not discord, we ousside", to which the first partier responds "Ayyyyy". Another partier says "IKTR" in response.

the only hourly Comic day I had in me was comedically keeping my nephews entertained while grocery shopping, before retreating to my cave once more.

part of a four year old piece (wow) #projectrecalibration #art
androgynous figure with brown skin and spiky dark brown hair standing in profile, holding a sword half of their body length with top down. their hoodie is partially plated with armor and they were dark jeans with red hightop shoes. further behind the androgynous figure is a woman with dark skin, a spiky long ponytail. they are lifting up their hands in welcome or supplication.

further signs of life in the Times of Cholera #spiritpizza
screenshot of panel in progress from Spirit Pizza. Pan hair floats outward as she looks down at something in her hands, held out in front of her chest. she is looking in wonder. downloaded screenshot of an interview with a woman with captions: "when he thought of himself, he wasn't also thinking of me. not because he didn't care, but because he just didn't love that way". there is a caption in a block of white in the middle that says "my favorite is love in silent actions". dagger finds this relatable. crop of dagger making a clay mug in a tan hoodie and black overalls. it is not something they are good at....

Cartoonist Barbara Brandon-Croft, creator of the comic strip Where I'm Coming From, the 1st comic strip by a Black woman to be nationally syndicated in mainstream press. (Jackie Ormes was restricted to Black press in her time.) #BlackHistoryMonth
A recent color photo of Brandon-Croft. A sample of her strip. It consists of four panels of two Black woman speaking. "Why are you so negative when it comes to race relations?" "Hey, I'm just keeping it real?" "Yeah, real negative." "But you know, the Academy has nominated..." "A record number of Blacks for Oscar consideration this year." "And I will predict a record number will lose." The cover to a recent collection of her strip, "Where I'm Coming From" by Barbara Brandon-Croft from Drawn and Quarterly.
