I'm going to do some posts about what a colorists actually does. I see a lot of reviews that praise the beautiful rendering of the line artist & the color choices of the flatters. So I would just like to clear up what a colorist does.

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."
Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.
I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

Comics community, I know there's A LOT going on right now, but I just heard that Vita Ayala had a fire in their apartment when a building burnt down next door. Sounds like they and their family are OK, but if you've got any ability to help out, Vita is good people. gofund.me/be26c49f
