“I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland.”

May we never forget Anas Al-Sharif’s last words.

WHEEEEE I GOT MY COMM OF MY WEIRDGUY FROM @yawningyawns.bsky.social EVERYONE CLAP its so gorgeous and u should all go look at their art...

trying to really focus in on this comic project...i'm really excited for the idea and just really gotta hyper focus on it

Think of all the artists who just post commissions. That's all they ever have time for. You don't know what they like or who their OCs are because they're always working.

throw $$ at artists to draw their own shit, please. Like, genuinely, please.

When we say “make weird art” we mean don’t pull punches, be vulnerable, be brave. Make the art you’re terrified to show other people, make art without regard for what’s popular or acceptable. Make something messy and human and singular to you. Or don’t! It’s said for those who need to hear it

Find and kill

said it once and i'll say it again. we as a society do NOT need ai generated images or ai chatbots to engage with our faves. if you're down bad enough for a character they will start beaming dialogue directly into your head and you will be able to hear it in their voice

i need to remember to tag my work here more....i usually just post and get offline

yes :3

notes on adding extra material when cutting the cover paper

note to self to try this tomorrow...

photo of accordion books in various stages of glued and unglued

a bit more progress

a photo of a block of granite laid on top of book board with a sheet of parchment paper as a barrier sheet

now flattening with my slab of granite. i got this off of ebay for $12 including shipping. definitely my best eBay purchase haha

photo of cut book board labeled, stacked, and organized with their text blocks

photo of me salvaging as much used board as possible. a tiny stencil is drawn on top of a squished side of a board. a knife, text block, and already cut piece of board are next to the uncut board

32 accordian boards and then 4 heart boards IM TIREDDD AND HUNGRYY

finally finished punching all the holes and folding accordians...need to finish cutting board covers but i need food so bad

a photo of two envelopes made by hand and cardstock

made envelopes for christmas cards :) i forgot to put slits in the two of the three envelopes before glueing though so I'll just wax seal those 🙈

a stack of hole punched text blocks

spending 6 hours hole punching 130 folios (i still have 70 more to go)

backside of ink drop paper next to parchment paper where they were left to dry. the ink bled onto the parchment, leaving cool patterns

the ink bleeding onto the parchment looks really cool

having to hand cut these heart shaped covers from the board...auuughh it takes so long

Some details of a binding of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by M.W. Shelley. Bound in fair calf with onlays of stingray, inlays of dyed calf, piercings of steel wire. Lines are blind tooled in red foil and edge to edge paper doublures were dyed with spirit dyes. #bookbinding #fineart #craft

Book II: Death & Grief
#art #drawing #books #bookbinding #bookarts

Tiny book, standing up, red cloth on the spine and swirly white paper on the front. Gold writing on the spine says "Madam Wen" with the "Madam" crossed out.

Title page, the full title fits here. It says "The Disappearance of Madam Wen" by E. Hyde

The first page of the fic, showing the scale of the text. There's a fancy large capital Y as the first letter

Endpapers are marbled red, gold, and black paper

Tiny book!

There are a few things that didn't work out quite right at this scale, but I've learned what to do differently for next time. #bookbinding #fanbinding

The fic is my own: archiveofourown.org/works/39351186
