Keep Trying
#art
a digital drawing of a gray cat with a capped eye and studded collar, leaning forward and bleeding from the nose. It looks at the viewer with defiance or determination. Text around it says “get killed eight times/ come back nine”. The red border around the image has two cars, arrows, knives, and poison bottles, numbered to match its deaths.

once again, Bluesky has deleted Sama'a's account in spite of its minimal activity and strict observance of the site's rules.

Sama'a and her husband often go without so that their girls can eat. I have watched them grow thinner and thinner, and I beg you to join me in giving them a little comfort.

Small quilt for a market! I have a handful of fabric pieces printed with this old drawing of mine, but this was the only one cut so the math wouldnt be annoying. The center is a digital print that i hand quilted, the surrounding blocks are machine pieced and quilted ✨
Photo of a small quilt wall hanging. The center of the quilt is printed with a drawing of a yellow hand surrounded by pink vines; the hand has a tattoo of a sword. On each side of the centerpiece is a row of flying geese pointing upward. Above and below the centerpiece are strips of pink and white checkered fabric. The corner pieces of this quilt are quarter square triangle blocks. A closeup of the quilting on the centerpiece.

we're now eligible for our electricity to get shut off even though i put in a protection for our account, whether they do their job properly or not idk what's gonna happen. anything helps to go towards rent/bills because my husband can't support us both like this.. it's been over a fucking month.
ferretfangs.bsky.social marty @ferretfangs.bsky.social · Oct 3
was really hoping i wouldn't have to ask, but the shutdown will be stifling my income until it reopens and that doesn't guarantee backpay, even as i work during it.. i'm sorry to have to ask, but anything helps to keep me and my husband on our feet during the uncertainty.

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow
A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

Finally finished this mini quilt. I screenprinted a photo of my mom’s curry trees, then screen printed a pattern i designed on top of that. The piecing around the center used fabric printed with the same shape pattern. This is more or less 14”x13”, machine pieced and hand quilted
Photo of a quilt. The center is one large piece of fabric that is printed and quilted. It is bordered with checkered strip piecing. The corners are halfsquare triangles. The piecing is wonky and nothing really lines up. Closeup of the center piece and quilting. Closeup of one of the corners. High contrast photo of curry trees in front of a painting.

It's almost Halloween - if you're looking for something thrilling and chilling to read, have you checked out The Vow yet? My partner and I spent 4 years making the evil T4T erotica of our dreams with the fervent hope that it would become a part of your nightmares 🖤🩸

Two people, used only as weapons, are forced together by the shackles of duty to fight a divine foe. Mutual loathing and repressed desires collide, hot and bleeding.

The Vow is a 300 page dark fantasy graphic novel, with art by @feralroyal.bsky.social and words by me. 18+ only.

Photo of a glass jar partially filled with water and pigment extracted from a knotweed plant. The water is a rusty brown. The jar is held up in the light of a window. In the background is a green wall and glimpses of a plant and yellow bookshelf.

hey, physical copies of BOY SKIN are in 🖤 52pgs, A5, for mature readers only
store.superposecomic.com/product/boy-...
thank you everyone who supported the initial digital release! you'll also be able to pick one up at MICE (dec 6-7)
a photo of a stack of books, the bound version of my comic/illustrated short story BOY SKIN a short story for adults about a hookup one night in the autumn of the past. Dan's tentative fun abruptly ends and he's kicked out into the cold of unsettled memories, but soon falls into brotherly lockstep with his new friend Val. Trans, butch, a comic interwoven with illustrated prose. 52 pages, black and white, A5 (5x8) a small illustration of an eagle heading toward a mountain. a larger illustration of dan sweating with his shirt pulled up. text: at any point did Prometheus, waiting between nightfall and the eagle's return, feel more whole? Was the cavity ever of greater comfort than its filling? an illustration made to look like a photo of a TV screen, a drawing of prometheus and the eagle (from black figure pottery) DISCLAIMER: if you are offended by homosexual activity, we recommend you do not view this tape closed captions: if this is suffering, he'll bind himself to its rock
