Came across some pictures of some of my very early work (2011). I'm tempted to make a batch of hair leaves again.

I've been having one hell of a time finding any motivation or justification for making art lately. This quote hits different with current world events. Credit @bykellymalka for the art.

Plotting and doing the math for another kickstarter to improve upon the banners. This round will be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. I'm still brainstorming on what to do just in case it goes better than planned. More than likely, building some XL pride and trans flags to be marched in the parades.

I'm seriously considering doing another kickstarter for this project. I'd like to do some revisions to the banners so they can both be displayed as the original work with the brushes or easily divided up to be used in parades or expressions of queer joy. #pride #ally #queerart

Upgrade on the newest feather. I had to pad out the handle a little more to make it large enough to work with the pattern.I'm happy with the results. Up for sale at @booksbeanscandles.bsky.social
They don't list local artists on their webpage but if you contact them, ask nicely, they will ship.
