We've had a decent little crop of new folks so let me introduce myself.

Hello, I'm Aaron and I'm a fantasy illustrator focused on non-Eurocentric stories and increasingly lately it seems, very basic political analysis/education for my fellow US folks through my #PoliticalLessonPosts.

An image of a woman in a blue dress seated upon a throne with moon symbols on it looking down imperiously. She is surrounded by stones, gnarled trees and a stone circle behind her head. Her hair moves as though it's being blown by a strong wind or moved by ocean currents. Her dress flows into a waterfall that turns into a pool that flows into the foreground. A Black man in African inspired clothing and short dreads holds a book glowing between his hands in a dark forest. A spirit with a face like a west African mask and glowing blue eyes looms menacingly above him. The man has a book holster under his arms indicating he is a mage scholar from his setting and he looks forward confidently. A digital painting of a heavy set Black man seen from behind looking into a morning sky of pinks, purples and oranges across a vast open plain. Strange mountains that float and are broken in places with a clear magical feel are seen far in the distance ringing part of the bottom edge of the page. The figure is shirtless and holding a book with glowing blue writing in his right hand as his left is raised, shielding his eyes. Above him, centered in the frame a massive orange dragon, sleek with long straight wings dominates the image, its wings outstretched as it soars down and its sinuous body blends elements of eastern and western dragon designs. An illustration man of medium complexion with slicked back hair and an aquiline nose wearing thick furs and with a sword slung over his back is seen from a low angle in what appears to be a cave. He has a lit torch in his right hand illuminating the space, orange and red light bouncing around a greenish tinted background. He seems uncertain as he looks around. In the background a spirit looms over him, threatening him. It’s a strange hulking creature with a massive back hump, a circular head that seems to have no face, just a sphere of energy and horns jutting from it. One arm is a reaching the fingered claw; the other is a writhing mass of tentacles. The figure hasn’t seen the entity stalking him but seems to be looking around as if he suspects something is there but isn’t sure as to what. He doesn’t seem scared, but he should be.

I deliberately do most of my activism anonymously because I don't *want* attention or a pat on the back or whatever. Doing good for good's sake and knowing what I did helped someone is all the reward I need

Can I ask everyone a HUGE favor? My friend @leedzie.bsky.social's cat, Rory, is in need of surgery and the cost is being estimated at being at least $6000. Leda is an old and dear friend so If you could help out or at least signal boost it would mean a lot

Happy Black History Month!
An illustration of the profile of a Black woman with deep brown skin, green eyeshadow, and bold black eyelashes. Her hair is styled into thick sections that resemble afro puffs, but each puff is shaped like a raised Black power fist. The background is a rich, textured red. A large golden hoop earring contains the words: “I don’t need permission to celebrate Black History” in bold, yellow, slightly distressed text.

If your idea of Black history is just about Black Americans who succeeded in the way America wants them to…I offer for your consideration some people who have been reclaiming and celebrating their African roots. African culture is woven into the foundation of America and it deserves honor and love!

Oba Waja, King of Oyotunji, who traveled to Haiti and Africa to study culture and spirituality in the 70s. He helped expand understanding of Yoruba and Orisha spirituality in America. You can still visit his kingdom today in South Carolina!

History of Oyotunji
In the fall of 1970, Oba Waja found the Yoruba Village of Oyotunji in Beaufort County South Carolina, and began the careful reorganization of the Orisa-Vodu Priesthood along traditional Nigerian lines...

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.
Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

A new translation was recently published of a seminal manga/comics studies essay in 1995 that documents and explains manga iconography with 120 examples. It's so exciting to see a precursor of what I'm doing rn with the Comics Devices Library
www.japanesestudies.org.uk/ejcjs/vol24/...
Abstract: In the following translation of an important essay from seminal Manga Studies work How to Read Manga (Manga no yomikata, 1995), manga creator and editor Takekuma Kentarō examines the full range of manga iconography (manpu) and visual effects in this sweeping survey of over 120 concrete samples. He calls these “shape metaphors” (keiyu) and classifies them into two main branches: stand-alone icons and picture-dependent metaphorical effects. If a giant sweat mark has been drawn on the back of a character’s head, one can tell that he is in a panic just from seeing that back figure even though this image is unrealistic. This is a type of visual metaphor and the profundity of such expressions are distinct to comic books. Takekuma’s “shape metaphors” have such refined functions that express the situation or the state of mind of a character, often efficiently and even humorously. Through their use, comic book artists have been able to liberate their stories from the bare bones of plot and create additional layers of psychology and mood all through these seemingly nonsensical and excessive graphic marks. For the first time, this translation presents in English the writings of this seminal manga artist, humorist, critic, and scholar and provides an encyclopedic-like guide to some of manga’s most interesting and irrepressible visual tropes. A set of expressive lines used in manga to denote motion and feeling.

A digital illustration of two men on a carousel. One is riding one of the horses, grinning down at the other and creating a small flame with his fingertips. The other is standing, holding a red-bladed sword against the other man's neck. The lighting is various shades of purple, pink and orange.
