And that gave me an idea. See, I used to make art because I wanted to show people the magic all around us. But I’m starting to think I was missing the point. I don’t just want to make beautiful things. I want to create something that floods people’s systems, that spins them around so many times that nothing makes sense and all… all they can hold onto, all they can see is each other. Because that’s where the real magic is. It’s in the connections.

Traditional fables from the Republic of Congo are collected in a new book, Congo Tales: Told By The People Of Mbomo — and illustrated with painterly photos that have a touch of magical realism.

Please consider pledging on my Patreon so I can continue making comics like these! You can also buy me a coffee with KoFi if you’d rather make a one time contribution! I truly can’t do this work without you!

Being trans can be tough sometimes but it’s also a blessing. A sacred gift. A journey few can know. A joy!

Thanks again for reading! ^_^

A portfolio of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903).

In 1894, French artist Paul Gauguin was forced to use a hand-made portfolio after suffering a fractured leg in a brawl. He was unable to use an easel to paint, so he instead adapted to sitting and using this portfolio book.
