A random sketchy concept drawing thingie of Mingo Falls in #Cherokee #NorthCarolina. Because my brain hurts, and I like waterfalls.

Happy #Pride, my glittery gay comrades!

#2spirit, #queer, and badass. Give 'em hell this month, loves.

Comrade, I feel you! I write little history lessons after each of my episodes and last time, I had to sit for like...a minute after typing each sentence for it to actually load the dagnab sentence!

And I have a beefy PC, man. Make it make sense!!

🥲

It's important to celebrate the drip 🦅✨🤘🏼🌈

Ug - thanks, I hate it. And love it. As I hate and love myself?

For real though, amazing!

Fun fact! The names in my #comic were taken from my own #familyhistory OR yanked from the Baker Roll (the Dawes roll of the Eastern Cherokee).

If I yanked your ancestors name, I hope they're proud? 😅

Vultures - way way cooler than people give them credit for.

Maybe she's born with it - maybe it's some SICK ASS TATS.

In fair #Cherokee, North Carolina - where we set our scene

(support #indigenousart - read my #comic! Sgi, wado, I love you)

Thank you!!

I spend a copious amount of time trying to capture the emotion of complete agony. Large swaths of my story are just about feeling hella sad.

Kinda seems like it should be depressing, but somehow it's...therapeutic?

Sometimes you just get asked to make #commissions of smexy naked mythical dudes.

As the gods intended.

So, if you're say, making a graphic novel, do you market yourself as and amongst #writers or #artists? Or am I, the high commander of #adhd, supposed to do both??

Me? Multitasking?? I could never...

I'm terrible at social media.

#tattoos are an #indigenous right - and anyone who looks at my tattoos and says "how do you plan to get a good job?" should stop and ask themselves why it's an accepted truth that tattoos are incompatible with "professionalism".

Spoilers: it's racism. It's always racism.

Just watched the Jon Stewart interview of Maria Ressa, and when she said "colonialism didn't die, it just moved online", my #indigenous brain melted.

I fold - I'm moving to Ganymede #jupiter #emigrate #tired

Some #indigenous art, for fun - in the face of a very unfun world, yeah?

The Glass Chapter 6, Parts 1 and 2 uploaded!

It's some well timed #indigenous rage, let me tell you what.

Webtoon, Tapas, ComicFury, and Patreon! So many ways to read - so...little time?

Nice weather, today.

Welp, deleted my Instagram completely.

Feels good.

Chapter 5 of the my #indigenous graphic novel, The Glass, is out!

The tension is risin' like a yeast roll on top of the fridge in summer.

My prologue was inspired by watching Westerns with my granddad. It was always Natives attacking "innocent" civilians. I would sit and wonder why they were doing it. They had to have a reason.

So, years later, I made a comic about exactly why someone would do that. #justindigenousthings

I have acquired a raw deer hide. I have no idea what to do with it now that I have it - I'm counting on my indigenous ancestors to like, jump in here. Or my Finnish ones, those work too.

The Glass - A Priest, A Nun, and a Vulture Set at the turn of the 20th century - a young Eastern Cherokee man watches his world fall apart when his sister is abducted and his family slaughtered in cold blood. He sets out on a journey of reveng...

Check out the newest episode of The Glass - my #indigenous comic about...rage.

The new chapter is: A Priest, a Nun, and A Vulture (walk into a bar...lolol...lol...ahem).

The Glass is a graphic novel inspired by unrelenting, unapologetic indigenous rage. It is a work of fiction based solidly in fact - with well sourced information available after every chapter!

Which all means - you should read my comic! Webtoon, ComicFury, or Tapas - The Glass by V Atsilvsgi!

Gorgeous!

I have arrived to share my indigenous art with...hopefully a couple dozen people. DOZENS, I SAY.
