A vibrant multi-toned pigment of blues and purples painting a star pattern of an Islamic geometry square. A pale hand holds a super thin paint brush in the top corner, as there’s still a lot left to paint!

It’s been a really rough week handling the file release (and the world realizing the horrors that consumed my childhood), so I made a little time to decompress by painting some Islamic geometry and alhamdulillah I really needed it πŸ₯²πŸ’œ

We still hope you share the piece, as what we saw was coming along beautifully! We’re just sorry that our maximum extensions and the timeline of surgery weren’t compatible. Hope you rest well, I’ve been there with top surgery recovery! β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

This was simple issue of incompatible timelines, and we’re hurt that you feel the need to take this public and twist it into transphobia when we offered as long as possible of an extension and attempted to frequently communicate with you on progress check ins, with no response.

08.02.2026 20:04 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

We did confirm you knew your date at the start of this project, and that the timeline would work for you. There was no communication about a monochrome piece then or within six weeks after the missed first check in.

We also provided you with a generous six week extension, and reached out multiple times to work around your surgery schedule (which was confirmed before signing on with us), with no response from you.

We’re sorry this didn’t work out, but we were as flexible as we possibly could be.

Replying from here since we’re blocked on the zine account. As a reminder a term of the contract was to create a colored illustration similar to your portfolio. When we addressed this, you refused.

I’m a beyond-exhausted trafficking survivor reliving extensive trauma rn because the Epstein files (+more) are the experiences I had too.

If you all can support by sharing the (joyous! queer!) zine I’m working on would mean a lot right now. It’s a project of joy and will help keep me centered rn πŸ’œ

I’m so excited for this upcoming series I’m painting bc it’s such a celebration of sexuality and the human body. Something I really need to paint rn as a trans person and a survivor 🩷

A digitally painted portrait of an elderly Black woman with short hair. She wears a beaded rectangular earring and necklace, matching her red lipstick. She smiled widely, reaching her eyes and emphasising her wrinkles. She's painted with loose brush strokes with hints of blue, green and red in the medium brown skintone.

A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

A banner of two masculine characters leaning up against a birch tree. The one on the left is an Indigenous man wearing a vest covered in beadwork, and the one on the right has paler skin and orange hair, wearing a blue shirt with tassels on the chest. Both have soft expressions as they hold hands. Gold decorations frame the corners of the image, and the text "We've Always Been Here" takes over the right side in flowy, mock-gold text. A small note in the corner also reads, "Work in Progress Image."
