Looks like its #portfolioday
I’m a Black graphic illustrator from PDX, interested in the beautiful and bizarre (and sometimes grotesque). I work mostly traditionally with colored pencils and posca markers. I sell stickers and originals in my ko-fi store!

Man I ain’t ever read a book with such longing and intimacy like The Everlasting (by @alixeharrow.bsky.social). I’m 80 pages in and my heart feels like its two seconds away from being shoved off a cliff. The excitement of the drop and pain to follow 😭

Hey my new website and shop is open 👋🏾 it’s nothing fancy, but as an effort to slowly divest from conglomerate social media, it’s important to house my work somewhere I control! My shop is also open there. I’ll be leaving my ko-fi shop open for now.

I feel so drained. I feel bereft of creative purpose.

It’s seriously that simple. Stop buying Harry Potter merch and watching any associated media you don’t already own.

idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Hope is active. Doom is inactive. Every time you say “it’s over” you have completely given up and simply handed it all to the fascists.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

I’ll probably still open my website on October 30th, just won’t have fanfare, or anything new besides demon variant stickers.
Life is kicking my ass.

My therapist suggested I draw as a way to explain how life, work, people, things make me feel - explain with image as if I couldn’t communicate with words.
This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever tried to do in my life 😅

I have been so creatively constipated lately. And the solution my therapist suggested makes me go:

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

good time to call your democratic reps and describe to them what having a spine might look like
If passed, the law would prohibit trans surgeries, strip [health insurance] Medicaid coverage from transgender people and ban Pride flags from public buildings, such as schools and universities.

Just minding my business trying to mount my tv and I don’t have metric drill bits, but the instructions are very particular about using the correct drill bits size (5.5mm).

It’s probably a bad sign when the Black-owned cafe hears about your work day thus far and said it’s too early to crash out 😅

It’s out! Get it!!

My big new album Doom Sickness is out today! I worked on this for a very long time and I'm extremely proud of how it turned out. I wrote a bunch of words about it if you want to read them, but really it's all there in the music

seismograph.bandcamp.com/album/doom-s...
I began this album in late 2018 and worked on it for about six months before setting it aside to make my previous album, VAST. This was about halfway through the first Trump presidency here in America and in those six months I laid out the album title, most song titles, and a general idea of what each song would be about. Almost seven years later I’m sitting here under the same president in a world that’s somehow even worse, and all those initial ideas are not only still relevant but more so than ever. Seems bad! I’ve been struggling a little to talk about this album, mostly because it feels very self-explanatory. There’s no tricks to the title - every song touches on how living under a constant stream of bad news wears a person down little by little. War, genocide, xenophobia, climate change, environmental destruction, AI bullshit, all of it rolls on seemingly unmoved by the increasingly loud chorus of people who don’t want things to get worse, actually. It can often feel completely hopeless trying to create any meaningful change in a world run by a relatively small group of sociopathic freaks. Despite everything, I choose to keep living. Every moment of every day is a new chance to improve something. There is nothing to gain by giving up and everything to gain by continuing to struggle till the last moments. I feel like a breathing cliche sitting here typing this all out but it really is true. Realistically none of these songs will make any actual impact. A hundred people or two will listen to them and move on. I have enough self awareness to know they’re basically just a way for me to vent and feel a little better about myself for having good principles or whatever. All I can do is say these things out loud and try to hold them in my head when the sickness sets in. Live well, die old, one billion better worlds.
