We need MAJOR change. Here’s what my boys would be doing if they were here.
A drawing of my characters protesting: Weeper raises a fist and holds a sign that reads “Burn it all down.” Poppie holds a candle, looking down in memory. Anxious Ax crouches down behind a protest shield with a peace sign on it, frightened with his anxiety monster behind him. Jon Deer stands back and rips a thin blue line flag into two pieces. Cyrano crouches over an ice agent, made of ice, ripping gristle out of his neck. Binnamon stands solemnly in support. The ground is covered in large ice cubes that are melting from all of the activity. Everything is colored in bright hot tones except the blue cold ice.

Can’t say I’m surprised that someone who could never admit to the obvious inspiration/homages in his work has now turned fully to using ai.

I just saw Scary Movie 2 for the first time and feel like this scene pairs well with the junkyard fight in The Cat (Lam Nai-Choi 1992).

Wearing a shirt while naked from the waist down is more naked than completely naked.

Book cover for Blood by Tyler Pennock‬ (Brick Books), with a bird and sun against a dark background, as though in silhouette, but with an orange sunrise or sunset showing through their shapes. Poems about a young two-spirit Indigenous person moving through shadow and trauma toward strength and awareness. Longlisted for the 2023 ReLit and First Nations Community READS awards. https://www.brickbooks.ca/shop/blood-by-tyler-pennock/ Book cover for Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta (House of Anansi), with images from Little Jamaica against yellow and red backgrounds. Kara Davis is a girl caught in the middle — of her North American identity and her desire to be a “true” Jamaican, of her mother and grandmother’s rages and life lessons, of having to avoid being thought of as too “faas” or too “quiet” or too “bold” or too “soft.” In these twelve interconnected stories, we see Kara on a visit to Jamaica, startled by the sight of a severed pig’s head in her great-aunt’s freezer; in junior high, the victim of a devastating prank by her closest friends; and as a teenager in and out of her grandmother’s house, trying to cope with ongoing battles of unyielding authority. Longlisted for the Giller Prize. https://houseofanansi.com/products/frying-plantain ‬‬‬ Book cover for We Belong: The All-Black, All-LGBTQ+ Sci-Fi and Fantasy Comics Anthology edited by Viktor T. Kerney and William O. Tyler‬ (Stacked Deck Press), with a black woman with a superhero mantle seen from below, standing in front of two more superheroes, one with horns. We Belong is an all-Black, all-LGBTQ+ sci-fi and fantasy comics anthology published by Stacked Deck Press in association with Prism Comics. Edited by comics writer Viktor T. Kerney and cartoonist and critic William O. Tyler, We Belong features over 20 talented comics creators. Editors Kerney and Tyler won the 2024 Kinnard Better Future Award for their work on this book. https://stackeddeckpress.com/product/we-belong-the-all-black-all-lgbtq-sci-fi-and-fantasy-comics-anthology/‬‬‬‬‬‬ Book cover for Curious Sounds: A Dialogue in Three Movements by Roger Mooking & francesca ekwuyasi. A dialogue between two artists across various mediums, Curious Sounds uses Mooking's most recent album, SoundBites, as scaffolding for the artists' conversations on creativity, Blackness, family, grief, and more. Composed of ekwuyasi's essays reflecting on artmaking, storytelling, and creative expression and Mooking's multimedia visual art, micro stories, music, and lyrics, this book is a collage of ideas about making meaning through life's rhythms. https://arsenalpulp.com/Books/C/Curious-Sounds ‬‬‬‬‬
