Happy Juneteenth everyone! I made this illustration for the Seattle Art Museum's Juneteenth celebration! It was such on honor to work on this project!

This illustration will be the backdrop to their photobooth, it was inspired by artists like Aaron Douglas and graphic arts for various jazz and motown clubs and performances. the blue of the flag is styled after a quilt featuring the North Star quilt pattern used during the underground railroad along with the Sankofa symbol among various African patterns.

Ay if you Black and make art/music/write/whatever, reblog this post showing it and link your shop/sites/paylinks/etc. so people can buy your stuff or send you money.

If you non-black, reblog this when you see it and if you only see one or two additions on the stack, check comments to see if you can reblog a longer version. Pretty much all my shit is free to read/listen to, so send your money to other Black folks in the reblogs instead and help boost their art.

Writing:

Weaving the Stories, poetry compilation

Chasing Uncertainty, poetry compilation/Transfeminist Womanism theory

General longer-form theory can be found at my site, anons.ee

Audio:

A recorded version of Weaving the Stories can be found on Bandcamp, YouTube, and streaming platforms.

Introducing Antonio “Nino” for short (black hair, headband, hair vents) and Andre (white hair, earrings jacket)

My BruAbba oc expys 😔I’m making animated character sheets for the both of them showing their abilities and stuff!! And I finished Nino’s!

The setting pretty much spawned from my private investigator AU I made years ago. I just kept expanding upon it over the years. And I got into practicing animation! So I’m gonna be uploading animated stuff with these guys!

By far the best skeleton I’ve drawn, but I needed a 3D model at the right angle. I can’t stand drawing ribcages
