my contribution to @damesprod.bsky.social’s Charivari art book! The kickstarter has been funded but late pledges are still available 🤲 i chose to focus on the aspect of role reversal in carnival traditions, and on ‘unmasking’; also anime OPs where a running character overlays a zoomed in face haha

small delay in comm work bc I’ve been in a filing-my-business-taxes fugue state this week…….. but I’ll resume after the weekend w/ clear eyes! Thank you all for your patience!

i love drawing so so much… despite everything!

There is no acceptable sacrificial lamb to appease purity culture. Whatever weird little pervert you are personally icked by should not be collateral damage in a discussion where, essentially, banks are vying to be the arbiters of morality so they can decide whose dirty evil money they get to pocket
