Tax the rich. It'll be good for your health. Seriously.

things are getting bit urgent, I have less than $150 in my bank account currently, a commission bite or two would greatly help me out! I can do discounted non-colored sketches at $55 EACH or if you can't commission but still want to help out with donations please - my DMs are open for both

I wish I could do a Shadow Clone so I can multitask on 100s of my projects.

Letting ya know that Elyon Badger’s account got suspended with a vague explanation, and it lands really weird when he’s a congressional candidate pushing for things most of us actually care about. He talks about healthcare access, rights to repair, LGBTQ+ rights, and working-class protections. (1/4)

Hi, I'm Destiny Slater, an artist & animator based in Pittsburgh, PA! I experiment a lot with focus on animals, Deaf/ASL, original characters, collaborations, and random stories through drawings, comics, and animations! Enjoy! 🍵 sakeozo.carrd.co 🍵 www.sakeozo.com

I'm need to start taking myself more seriously & find clarity with my personal project. I'd like a peer support from my artist mutuals please, whomever is feeling up for it. Reach out to me in DM! I'd love for us to throw idea back & forth, have accountability with our own personal project.

Yesterday on Instagram, I mass-followed a bunch of cool artists, but my feed continue to show me new people I've never seen before and non-artists. :( What the fuck, I just want to have feed of people who I actually follow, not the highlighted bullshit that the machine gets wrong about me.

i am genuinely curious that when I advertise for commission opens, I always get my same customers which I truly appreciate but never new ones, is there a reason?

So... I have a lot of hornworms that grew too big way too quickly to be my geckos' food. They're now my pet until they die of old age as moth.

Can we start saying "a person's reality shapes how fiction affects them"? Everyone responds to the same media differently and it is not a universal experience. MANY things influence how a person reacts to & interprets media such as how they're raised, mental health, education, religion, & culture.🧵

Here, a random drawing. It took me around 30 to 45 minutes, using alcohol markers and paint markers. Cheers.

Not having a good week. Send geckos pls.

Happy LOVE day :3 Featuring both my boyfriend and me! Sorry for my inactivity lately by the way.

The best way to get Bibi the Deaf Cat attention is by touch, which is what this butterfly did. :) This animation took me about 4 hours to make, hopefully the more animation I make, the more quicker I will post videos! Please enjoy this video. I will post time-lapse tomorrow! #BibiTheDeafCat

Paw bumps with a lot of love. 🐾💚 Bibi’s big goofy boyfriend is full of wisdom and silliness! Who is he?? More coming up soon! 👀 It took me a while to finally figure out his character design that is meaningful, simple, and fun to draw.

WHOM DO YOU VIBE THE HARDEST WITH?? I may or may not put this on shirt or other products, so... Choose wisely. C:<

New shirt design is out! It is to honor a certain company for their delightful design mistake. I decided to take and turn up that spicy volume with my interpretation. I haven't seen an ASL shirt design that's intentionally lewd, so I figure I can make it exist now!! tee-zr.com/store/sakeozo/

I wasn't planning on making an animation for this year's Art Fight... But it was a good practice! Animating this for 6 hours had me realize I really need a personal animation mentor to help me unlock tricks, technique, and shortcuts in a more effective way with 2D animation. Please enjoy!

Monsters should be scared. Meltdown Remastered is now available on Soundcloud! Link and credits in the comments.

I am proud to announce that I've worked with @rylontheleopard.bsky.social to make an artwork for cover art of his single. Give this song a listen! soundcloud.com/rylontheleop...

Ah yes, a bathroom ASL poster, I needed that, thank you, Amazon.

I love it when I redraw my old art 18 years later. 🥹 2007 (age 12) -> 2025 (age 30)

Google has recently removed the ability to send video messages on google meets. This feature was useful to pace communcations and make them accessible. What about people who don't hear and/or use sign language? What about those who don't want to be obligated to cold calls?

I was 12 when I drew Brian from Family Guy being drunk.

I wonder how many artists I follow disappeared off of the internet, and I won't ever realize it. It's a scary thought. One day, that'll be me and my fans won't know it. The internet is so different compared to a decade ago, where I use to manually visit artists' profile page. 🥺

IT IS HALLOWEEN MONTH. A GREAT time to read my freaky psychedelic folk horror comic "BE KIND, MY NEIGHBOR". Peep this animated trailer my pals and I made for it set to none other than KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD!

Heya!! Now I'm going to work on the next masterlist project, but it'll be of Deaf people who make comic, zine, manga, and graphic novel. I have some people but I'd like your support- Please list everyone you know so I can include new people to the list!

I just finished the Deaf Webcomic Masterlist! 🙌 A masterlist of webcomics made by Deaf creators, active or inactive, as long as they’re still accessible online for free. Check it out and please tag any I missed! I know there gotta be more out there. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Send me all of your webcomic made by Deaf creator recommendations! It doesn't have to be active. It just need to be accessible on the internet like webtoon, tapas, self-hosted website, or whatever.

My own approach to spotting a fascist is simple: When I see someone who already seems somewhat fashy, I watch their videos. If they aren’t properly closed captioned for accessibility, then it’s a sign that they're definitely on the fascist side.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

This drawing took me about 9.5 hours, I've learned a lot from working on this drawing and it is interesting to see what my more polished work would look like. And of course, it's @rylontheleopard.bsky.social and me being lovely wovely cuties! :3 💚

I'll be mostly quiet, but I'll open up my broadcast screensharing of myself drawing this on Twitch. Enjoy. www.twitch.tv/sakeozo

Portland is a canary in the coal mine. If the government crushes their right to protest into silencing them, then the rest of USA is next. What happens in Portland will echo across the nation, and if we don’t defend them now, no one’s freedom will survive. All eyes are upon you.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

PFP commission for ErrorFerret, thank you so much again for commissioning me to draw your OC with your cute little galaxy ferret!

Disabled people can’t “just move” to escape fascism. Moving requires resources, money and health that most of us don’t have. Many countries won’t accept disabled people, especially if they have universal healthcare. People are trapped, so we must fight for them.

Note to self- make a masterlist of Deaf-created webcomics and Deaf cartoonists tonight. Feel free to drop all of your suggestions off here. It has to be created by those who are in the Deaf community or a clear proof a Deaf consultant was in it.

Portland is like a canary bird in the coal mine. If Portland can't protect their space, then the rest of the USA is in trouble. Please have them in your thought. Fuck Trump and his administration. Solidarity from Pittsburgh, PA.

Heya! This is pretty vague and I can think of like more than 10 webcomics with ASL. For the starter, can you try digging through the starter pack of Deaf artists in here, maybe you'll find someone? go.bsky.app/TgbxBce

The cat's tail is stronger than I expected.

Heya, I don't normally ask for this, but can you do me a small favor? I posted a comic recently and I was wondering if I can have your help to spread it around by reposting it or commenting on it? I'd like more people to read it, please and thank you!

Authoritarianism rarely starts loud. It starts with small digs, it is the kind you shrug off until it’s too late. When I first saw @/drbbayrutie’s ketchup analogy on Threads, it clicked and I wanted to elevate her post and show how these patterns grow. This comic is my take. Enjoy! 🍅

I felt inspired to do semi-realistic rendering. How do I feel? Well, it was okay. It's not my favorite, but I have learned and now I know what works and doesn't works. Enjoy a random art of rodent lady with a toy. Reference is a scene from Babylon (2022). IDK why I went for this, lol.

When I say AI is a fascist technology, this is what I mean: a spectacular assault on the idea that true things can be known
