Sky and Water

Omg already over 80 people following the project! 🎉 Ngl, since this project is meant to inspire joy and resilience in our global queer community during a time of severe oppression, my dream is to hit 500 before launch. That way, we can likely get this art book onto every continent! 🩷

Our Kickstarter pre-launch page is officially up!! Want a gorgeous collaborative artbook celebrating queer joy throughout history? Click "notify me" ⬇️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/tap... Early bird discounts are limited, and this is the best way to get them first! 🎉 #QueerArt #Zine #ZineSky

Nzuzi looking pretty in purple, as always 💅 I'm definitely gonna need to buy the skin tone pack of these markers soon though I think, there's definitely not enough dark browns to draw the twins properly with the ones I currently have 🫣 #OCArt #OCs #OriginalCharacter #Nzuzi #AlcoholMarkers

My first piece with my new alcohol markers! 🥳 This is a redo of an older digital piece I made but I really like how this one turned out hehehe #Jinsoul #Loona #ARTMS #Fanart #LoonaTheFanart #KpopFanart

Doing a vday spread and collecting my sketches!!!

It’s been a really rough week handling the file release (and the world realizing the horrors that consumed my childhood), so I made a little time to decompress by painting some Islamic geometry and alhamdulillah I really needed it 🥲💜 #ArtWIP #watercolor

A Blueberry Scone~! 🫐💙✨ Valentine’s Food Commission 🍰

A pothos plant I painted to relax between work, work and book two :))

Took a few minutes away from Inamorata/Bad Manners and the glacial commission grind to doodle Zoya before bed. She's having a bad time in her story rn. Labeled for the kind of mild body horror you'd expect from me. #SaintSunday #darkart

Did I mention I'm designing stickers for this awesome artbook campaign!? 😁💕

A project that is an absolute joy to work at, and let me tell you the artworks that are featured in there are so so beautiful 🙏💕 Please treat yourself to some stunning queer art!!

Genuinely working on this has been even better than i had hoped for. To have my piece alongside SO MUCH thoughtful and beautiful work is truly a treat. And the management team has been extraordinarily communicative and helpful 💗

hello chat, ive taken part in this zine alongside some awesome amazing artists who shared a piece of our heart and identity to make something cool!!!!!!!!!

This project is BEYOND incredible! I’ve had the chance to peek at all the art in this book and it is not only all stunning, but incredibly global, cultural, and historically accurate too! Proof that we really have always been here, and always will be. 🥰 Please share, to spread this queer joy! 🌈

Btw for anyone curious, we’ll be shipping from both Spain (easy for EU backers) and the US (to avoid tariffs). US availability will ONLY be during this Kickstarter, so tap that notify button!

Getting an iPad where I can actually see as I draw was what got me properly into drawing 😤 I had a cruddy little Wacom as a teen and struggled so bad I never really did much with it 🤷‍♂️

Ramadan is in two weeks insha’Allah! For non-Muslims who wish to fast in solidarity or for health, a few safe fasting guidelines: -We don’t fast when sick, traveling, or if fasting causes hardship (like many during periods) -We practice suhoor (nourishing meal and drink before first light)

Oh, to be a little Pikmin playing in a discarded tin can filled with water right now.

You are Held

Hiii Bsky, sorry I've been super absent lately, will you take a Nzuzi as apology? 🫣 #OCArt #OCs #OriginalCharacter

Morning announcement... I'm seeing that video with a joke about Trump soiling himself float around. As a reminder, having the punchline of your joke be related to disability is ableist. Same when people joked about how he'd "need a walker." I recommend reading 'Disability Visibility' by Alice Wong.

#ArtWIP - Kyriakos Was inspired by @rislamb's manticore designs so Kyri is getting a less cute design. Still have to figure out the body and legs a bit but the rest I like. They're supposed to look like bad mash-ups of lions and humans. More info in replies and alt text. #ArtSky #MicahsOCs #OCSky
