Also hi, how've you been?

My first logo back from the injury, I couldn't let what happened at Pulse in Orlando during a Latinx pride celebration party go by without something here. Every since the shooting that left 49 dead and 52 in hospital, I've been operating at a strange pace like the rest of my fellow LGBTQ2SIA brothers, sisters, and all in between. I've been mourning the dead, hoping for the best for the injured, and steeling my resolve to be out and loud and proud. I've been getting angry as the shooter keeps getting the press attention when the victims deserve it. I'm angry at the racism and Islamophobia that has risen and I am so proud when I see my friends shut it down immediately. I'm angry and I'm tired because in the US, this shit keeps happening.

I'm angry at the "thoughts and prayers" politicians who refuse to do anything that would curb gun violence in the USA. I'm angry at the Americans who say that gun control measures will be ineffective when they have proven very effective in every oither country that has them on the books. This is the concept of American Exceptionalism at its worst: if something works in other countries, it is then Unamerican and must be feared, discredited, and destroyed immediately. I'm angry at a culture that empowers this bullshit.

In the meantime, I put up a shirt "Thoughts and Prayers do Nothing." All profits that I make from this shirt will go to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, CSGV.org

An update!

I haven’t forgotten.

My arms still hurt.

I’m going to the doctor on Monday.

I can draw again, I still need to find a comfortable position for it.

Regular service will resume shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

Text editing on Edge is terrible and easily lost.

Have a great weekend!

Right, after 39 days of logos, some great feedback, and dragging a bag of laundry the size and approximate weight of a dead body, I need to take a couple of days off. My right arm started feeling terrible last night from the shoulder to my fingers while I can feel my left shoulder knotting up. typing hurts, using my tablet is no picnic either.  This was drawn with my left hand, and I’m surprised it came out this legible. When I come back, it’ll be with a mega post to make up for the days missed.

d20: 18 Publishing d6: 4 Agent d4: 1 Low tier

The Story Agency is only an agency in name only. It's a co-operative run in a way to get involved authors published, and get them to help other authers. To that end, To make this look very official, the Century typeface was used. To give it a less formal feel, the lines like lined notebook paper were incorporated, putting more of an emphasis on stories and writing than being an agency.
