Tracie Ching

Honored to once again portray Mon Mothma during this incredibly powerful moment in S2, Ep 9. Deeply relevant and beautifully acted by Genevieve O’Reilly, capturing the senate speech as a Rebel propaganda poster was a dream.

Welcome to the Rebellion! ✊🏼

#starwars #lucasfilm #tonygilroy

Pleased to share my Mon Mothma illustration for the exclusive Rebelión zine released at the #Andor secret Emmy® FYC pop up at Kiosk-O-Thèque with Are We On Air?.

Excited to be returning to Dragon Con this year as a guest. 🐉

Catch me at #511 in Comic and Pop Artist Alley in AmericasMart Bldg 2, 4th floor.

See you soon ATL! #DragonCon #dragoncon2025

Being a living, working artist is bone-crushingly brutal one day and completely transcendent the next.

And through each rise and fall, I continue to feel so grateful for every person who’s shown me love over the last 15 years.

Couldn’t and wouldn’t want to do it without you, gang 🫶🏼

Return of the Shark Week Special! 🦈🦷

For the 2nd year in a row, I have channeled my peak nerdiness as an artist + amateur fossil hunter in celebration of #SharkWeek. I’ve selected 5 fossilized shark teeth I found at the Chesapeake Bay to release as original drawings tomorrow (7/7) at 10am.

While two of the soldiers had existing portraits, history recorded vague descriptions, at best, for the remaining five. It was an honor to give faces to the faceless and have my work included in yet another gorgeously designed exhibit by Gallagher & Assoc.

Some shots of the portraits I illustrated for ‘Call to Arms: The Soldier and the Revolutionary War’, a special exhibition commemorating the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday at the National Museum of the United States Army (NMUSA). Open to the public from June 2025-2027. 🥁🪈🇺🇸

Love + thanks to everyone who already snapped up an OG slot for July. Only one left! 🫶🏻🙏🏻🥹

July OG commission slots are open! 🕷️🕸️ shop.tracieching.com/product/july...

About half are already gone so move with a quickness as they will be the only pop culture OGs I’m likely to do from notes until November.

#silk #cindymoon #comics #commissions

OG commission slots open this Friday, June 27th @ 10am EST. 🚨 Set your reminders now as space is limited and they filled up fast.

These will likely be the only commission opportunities from now until Nov. I really enjoyed the Spring OGa and would welcome the distraction during these tough times.

Working on some anti-war (protest) posters cuz apparently that’s the fresh hell we’re dealing with this week. Which ones are working?

1. End War Now
2. No to War
3. No War
4. Stop the War
5. Peace Now

Fuck…

Coming Friday!

I def get the “which kind of Asian are you” upfront from the aunties lol

Do the aunties pick up on the Chinese? I know some folks changed their default guess because Western folks are heavily consuming Korean and Japanese media.

So if your neighbor, school, or local organization is hosting a "lūʻau" or hulu night, please remember my culture is not a theme or a costume, but a precious gift handed down to my people from our ancestors.

Many do not and could not know the truth behind these stereotypes without learning the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom, however ignorance has never been an excuse to misuse elements from someone's culture. Especially when that culture was intentionally pushed to near extinction.

My name is Tracie kaleonahenaheokalani Ching, I am Kānaka Maoli born on O’ahu + hold a degree in Hawaiian Studies. I know all too well how/why Hawaiian + Pasifika culture was exotified, coopted, + turned into stereotypes - the "Hawaiian" shirts, faux lei, grass skirts + coconuts bras to name a few.
