Little landscape!!

They are clad in the appropriate sea-faring uniforms and hats. Standing next to them is Kermit the Frog as Captain Abraham Smollett from Muppet Treasure Island, who is wearing a very similar uniform.

I've been playing around with Procreates new brushes, lot's of fun textures to experiment with! Haven't had a ton of time to draw lately so this felt like a special little love letter to the season

Illustrated portrait of Alice Wong and Ashanti Fortson, surrounded by dreamy purple clouds and shooting stars.

Heartbroken to learn of Alice’s passing. I looked up to her immensely, and I was so grateful for her patience, grace, creativity, & insight as a collaborator. I will miss her fierce kindness & her sharp wit so very much.

I drew this portrait of us in 2021 for CommunityAsHome. Rest in power, Alice.

SOME GOOD NEWS, FINALLY

I might cry

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

DO NOT LET THEM HEAR THE END OF IT

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM NOT TO CAVE

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you want to commission art for winter holidays, you better start doing it soon to be sure you get it on time

An illustration of Abigail from Stardew Valley. She has purple hair and is holding a sword. There is a small green mini slime blob next to her.

Look I just think she should have got to go on a sidequest in the mines once, as a treat #stardewvalley

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
