I'm participating in #folktaleweek2025. Prompt 1: NIGHT

To see this in triptych form, check it out over on IG. The challenge this week was to:

1. Make a triptych.
2. Use a flat folk-inspired style.
3. Tell a story.
4. Same color palette all week.

I don’t usually draw Per the Bear with a mouth but the little happy smile on them is pretty cute
A chibi-style black and white drawing of my comic book characters. A girl with long hair and a scarf is holding onto the arm of a bear with a crown and wearing a jacket with fancy epaulettes. I forgot to draw in the girl’s shoelaces for one shoe. It’s fine.

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

💕🍓🍒🫖🍵🌈 Tea // gouache on hot press paper // 18"x24"

the companion piece to T, a still life painted in my dining room of a feast I made for my spouse, and an excuse to create some queer joy and softness

#art #queer #gouache
Bright, warm, colorful still life of a table set cheerfully for breakfast with cherries, strawberries, tea, biscuits, and a green glass vase full of pink peonies. Small rainbows of light paint everything in the scene.

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I find that there’s usually a direct line between people who habitually post unattributed artwork and AI boosterism. Like, if they already act like images just appear out of the ether and have no provenance, they’re also very likely already openly hostile to artists.
