just some paintings i did for fun!
I wrote this and wanted to share cause I dunno - Iβm sure lots of people can relate but when youβre in it and experiencing it without anyone else like you around - itβs hard not to feel alone & ashamed. So yah! Thatβs how Iβm feeling! Donβt get me wrong - I still had aΒ great timeΒ yesterday but there were also these feelings too. π
I made this into a zine for anyone interested in nabbing this journal entry as a physical thing.Β πβ¨
a teeny rambly zine! i really wanted to write with pen & paper and this is what came out! π i threw them in hello mail π & i figure ill give them out in orders and at events too! β¨
my 1st 16 page comic took me like a month & a half to finish but i did it! π¬ i wanted to make a soft/quiet/asmr-type of comic. it's about a girl who gets tired of doom-scrolling and so decides to switch up her day with a yummy snack π & a sit outside! ππ·π it's this month's patreon reward & available in the shop! π
my baby & i made a cute little color theory zine together! i hope this will be the 1st of many! π»πΈππβ¨

Wow, this was SUCH a dope experience! It was my second time ever tabling out-of-state and it was so cool. It was noce just being around other black creatives and obviously - being in NYC for the first time. It was a bit surreal.
