I suppose this article is timely considering The deal with Paramount and WB.

I'm not going to stop making art . And neither should you. Being black and queer and a mother the odds are already stacked against me..so I will carve it my own way.

Culture has to turn away from this shit to survive. We have to make our own stuff and maybe it’ll look like dogshit but we can call it ours and love the process

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I just recently watched β€œYou Hide Me” by Nii Kwate Owoo for the first time and it had me wondering where’s a story about taking shit back, then I catch this on the bluesky timeline. Wild!

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

Same man. I have so many fond memories with this series. Its influence was underneath the surface until I started on Bros. Boom

An interior illustration from the picture book HOW TO FIND A FOX by Nilah Magruder. A small Black girl sits with her back to a boulder, a camera in her hands. She looks ahead at the viewer with a determined expression. On top of the boulder, a red fox peeks out and looks down at the girl. The girl doesn't notice. In the background, a chicken leg has been set out as bait.
