Hello~

I'll probably post some old stuff to catch up with my Instagram account (haven't used this since Feb 2019!), but for now I just want to follow friends and cool peeps. 🌟

[thethreetomes]

Let's take a look at what The Three Tomes is about for the new folks out there.

A YA queer coming of age story about a Black bi teen girl turned witch , and the the two bi vampire boys after her heart.

I grew up in the Midwest . My teen years were the 2010s and I never saw myself in the teen media that I consumed. Twilight , Buffy , Hunger games , the magic series by the terf who shall not be named ... It was all fun back then sure, but I never noticed til I got older that characters who looked like me were rarely centered in adventure fantasy stories . Black people may have been present but weren't prominent...got sidelined ....died ..... Or were the disposable black girlfriend/boyfriend/partner.

Flash forward to me working in animation for nearly 10 years now.... I see Cancellations of shows , so many that are black , brown and queer, mergers, AI, the hostility to our people and marginalized people as a whole in this political climate , and the desire to create being trampled on.

I said y'know what ....I want to make something for me. For the me that would have wanted this when I was younger ...as a queer black femme person ...I wanted to make something that reflected the stories I loved but never saw myself in .

Black folks can be whimsical , magical , witches , vampires , mermaids , dwarves ...anything. We belong in these stories and deserve Black joy . Especially now.

You can watch Episode 1 on YouTube and I hope of it catches your fancy , you support me once I launch the Kickstarter for episode 2 next month. Thank you, truly - Bre

Coming soon: The Three Tomes: Episode 2 - A Vampire Romantasy Animatic

Episode 1/ Pilot :

[thethreetomes]

Happy pride to those who feel unseen. My name is Bre and I'm a black bi , nonbinary creator. Sometimes I feel unseen.... Sometimes I feel not queer enough. I made a story about Black folks and their queer identity , validity of it in different ways and doing what I can to show Black people deserve to be in diverse fantasy stories and loved . No more disposable Black girlfriends, no more questioning of Why Black people are in fantasy. So many black stories center black pain...let's tell a story of black adventure , romance and magic.

And No more ignoring the queerness of those in bi4bi relationships or those with nonbinary identity.

If you like these shows....

Episode 1 is already out on YouTube and you can check out comics and , illustrations and small animatics that expand the world beyond the pilot. And support the Kickstarter for episode 2.

I'm overjoyed to share that I'm now working as a Storyboard Revisionist and Production Assistant at Joe Murray Studio! I grew up watching Joe's cartoons on Nick and CN never even dreaming I'd work for him (and an amazing crew) on a show that explores and teaches children the world's many customs and cultures, as well as how to grow up to be genuine, good people. I am immeasurably grateful to have had so much support from so many wonderful people over the years, whether it was in the form of advice, portfolio reviews, or simply by being /present/ in my journey. I can't possibly name you all but I will personally thank you when I see you. 💖💖 Believe me when I say y'all are the bee's knees and I love every one of you--I'd FIGHT for you. For those who keep trying--PLEASE! Don't give up!! It took me almost three years. Your efforts will be worth it if you keep at it. I promise. P.S. I'm still in denial so if you ask me about in person and I reply with a confused, "Uh??" please forgive me. . . . . . #storyboardartist #revisionist #animation #animationindustry #artist #artistofig #dontgiveup #characterdesign #cartoon #letsgoluna #joemurraystudio #pbskids #professional #productionassistant #journey #self #comic #inspirational #inspiration #icantbelieveit #denial #illustration #digitalart #procreate #shorthair #sketchbook #sketch #selfportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/BtxmSsUlVVN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18pvxztpgsmt9

Made this for #artvsartist last week and just cleaned it up! I couldn't decide between making Iroh look dumb or mad... so I did both. I do pick him up and run around with him like this and he puts up with it.
