hello red vs blue fans

[iguessweallcrazyithinktho]

Remember Khaliifah Marcellus Williams! A black Muslim man falsely accused. Remember that he's innocent. Remember that the governor of Missouri, mike Parson who had the opportunity to save this man's life, decided not to. Remember all but three supreme court justices decided his life wasn't worth saving either. Remember his face. Remember his Last words. And remember how fucked up this country is

Rest in peace Marcellus

Hello! Regarding your TF OC zine: What does the blue actually look like? Is it more cyan or ultramarine or another hue of blue?

Hey! So sorry for the late response, I’ve been swamped with school and didn’t actually expect interest to be this great! (Shoutout to my friend yozi who has been boosting this everywhere, ily 😭). It’s definitely more of an ultramarine — if you want to get a more accurate feel of it hex code wise, stencil.wiki has a great guide to all the riso colors. How it shows up in digital tests might not be entirely accurate to how it’ll show up in real life, but it should give you a good enough idea! 🌟 thank you for your interest and the question!!

[dewhander]

DO YOU HAVE A COOL TF OC? DO YOU WANT YOUR ART PRINTED AND MAILED TO YOU? WANT TO SEE A BUNCH OF OTHER COOL TF OCS? JOIN MY TF RISOGRAPH ZINE 🫵

For those who can’t click on the link, all the information in the document is also available below!! 👇 👇

What is this?

My attempt at a homegrown zine for original Transformers characters in 2023! I just want to see more cool TF art and spread original Transformers content. I feel like a lot of fandom/convention/zine content has lost that casual, throw-it-together feel as well as being more and more paywalled, so this is my hope at fighting against that.

How do I apply?

Just send over your piece to this link!

Is this zine juried?

No — the first ten to fifteen applicants will be the artists included in the zine, though I do retain the right to reject any applicant for any reason. I will be capping the zine at about twenty pages total.

How many pieces can I submit?

One! Either a one-page piece or a two-page spread. Comics welcome!

When do applications close?

Applications close whenever I hit the cap.

How should I format my files?

I will be printing the zine on 8.5x11 inch sheets of paper and folding them to create a booklet, meaning that each page will be roughly 5.5x8.5 inches. Full bleed (an image reaching the edges of the page rather than having a margin) will be available for this zine — just make sure you format your files correctly, especially if you’re doing a two-page spread! Otherwise the dimensions might be slightly off.

How should I format my files for the risograph?

The way the risograph works is that it takes opacity and translates it into color! For example, a file you feed into the risograph that looks like this (left) will come out like that (right).

Knowing this, you can have lots of fun layering different opacities with different colors! That’s the true beauty of risograph!

The two colors I’ll be using are Blue and Fluorescent Pink — you can use the Multiply function in most digital art programs to “test” what the colors will look like on the final product, but know that it’ll probably look a little different IRL. Programs won’t be able to fully replicate how the inks layer.

You can also draw a piece in full color and convert it for risograph printing. Here’s a good YouTube tutorial for it here. Unfortunately, you need Photoshop for that tutorial. If you have a Mac, you can also use the program Spectralight. Alternatively, if you have neither of these, you can also just send me your full color file and I can convert it for you.

Basically, for your final piece, I’ll have two greyscale files from you — one for the color Fluo Pink, and one for the color Blue. Please name the files accordingly or I won’t know which is which!!

Will this zine be sold for profit?

No. The zine will be available for free online and will be mailed to anyone who wishes to have a copy for free + the cost of shipping (roughly $6).

If every artist agrees, I may eventually start selling them at conventions for the cost of production (roughly $15).

Thank you for your interest if you’ve read all this way!! I look forward to seeing everyone’s work! 🌟💗🤖🥀

Fundraiser masterpost

This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution).

Demonstrators and artists have taken the steps of the met museum unfurling an ENORMOUS (30 x 50 foot) quilt created by artists around the world in solidarity with Palestine.

The quilt was collectively created by 64 artists from around the world and shipped to New York City.

They're demanding the met museum:

(1) cut ties with board members profiting from Israeli bombardment + occupation of Palestine

(2) support an immediate + permanent ceasefire

(3) aid the preservation of Palestinian cultural heritage sites being destroyed by Israel

In addition to the quilt, demonstrators reclaimed and redistributed Met flyers, stickered with movement messaging and demands.
