Hey corporate media,

Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.

You see this drawing of Luigi? It was removed from tiktok TWICE in less than 24 hours!!!! This is insane! All I wanted was to share my support in the best way with my skills, like my training in observing faces for portrait illustration. If anything, it's making me wanna draw him MORE.

I'm almost 30, less than a week. Everything feels like shit... So what do I do???? Draw, I guess.
Some portrait practice, reference of a photograph I found on Pinterest. BTW all the saturation of AI in it makes finding references a MESS.

Btw, I made Native Women Nutcracker Greeting Cards. In 2020 I saw "Native American Indian" nutcrackers sell for $$$ and were made by non-natives I was sickened, so I designed my own. This year, I drew Native women, because they're no less fierce than men.
12 unique cards & envelopes.

Ykno what saves me time and time again when everything feels like shit? The arts.

I read and read for stories to help me process things or to escape or learn. Different aspects of the arts help me in my own work.

Here's my blue heron in the ocean, oil pastels, then I made it grayscale for tones.

just from a folklore point of view, "attractive hooded man kills billionaire head of hated business with bullets inscribed with political slogans and then vanishes" is narratively breathtaking

Book pet peeve: the use of "inky darkness." I lost count of the times I've seen it.

One of the nerdiest things bout me is I think of linear equations when making fringe earrings. It's just visualization of it 🙂‍↕️

This was my most popular art from Twitter. I deactivated recently because it was suuuuch a headache and a major mess. I'm just trying to find social media that's kind to artists 🤧
