while you're here, consider sharing some love with my friend Yousef. www.gofundme.com/f/save-youse...

went to my first fashion show today. wasn't what I expected. they had a white guy come out with a whole ass flaming katana and rice hat. had to leave after that

working through my artblock and FINALLY figuring out how to use digital in a way I actually like (I guess like I am making a monoprint???) It feels so much more natural working this way. Love doing trans portraits also <3

working through the nightmarish stuff holding me back through art is slowly breaking down the art block. have made some art that i actually like in the past couple weeks despite struggling a lot. huge relief.

trying to get more honest with my heart in my practice this year

just realized you can see not just who blocked you on this site, but the timestamp for when. just a reminder to followers: land back and decolonize mean free palestine!

A Drop In The Ocean

All he does is pine

The Embrace

A sweet follower on tumblr blazed this post for me, but appearently Palestine is against tumblrs advertising policy 🤪🤡

i used to use pixabay for royalty free images but lately its been absolutely clogged up with AI generated slop, completely negating its purpose

ive been using pinterest for references a lot lately. but now i can tell when other artists have used the same reference :,) its been happening more and more lately. i need to use a different site for nature ref photos!

slowly beginning to function more after moving blergh

i am answering emails, i am getting life done, shit is so together T_T!!!

I lost my job in January and I need help with bills/food while I look for a new job. Prospects are grim, my situation is urgent and I don't want to lose my car or my apartment. If you want to help directly: My Vėnmø is @MelxRedgrave My cäshvpp is $duckybank Thank you. gofund.me/9879b91bf

a lot on my mind lately, and honestly have been hella depressed coping with a lot of this year. things are getting better, my heart's just catching up still.

I guess that's all to say, I've been dealing with a creative block for a lot of this year for "too much" reasons. working on something for myself right now to get things flowing again. It feels good to make with passion.

I feel perpetually weird about oversharing, but my work is also just a socially acceptable way of oversharing? So many things that I make are just the socially acceptable way of saying something "too much". It feels like I haven't yet reached the balance I want to with it.

I hold back with what I create for a lot of reasons, as most of what I make is narrative based and focuses on relationships between people. Sometimes it feels like what I want to make is invasive or overly personal. But I think that might be a strength.

in a great deal of hand pain so making art is very ouch as of late. but finally feeling like the inspiration can go somewhere.

sharing again for my friend Mel. She's a Chicago-based musician fallen on hard times who needs the help of community! Please share widely!

I only been eating old rice, garlic and fish sauce once a day for the last week. Was wondering if any of you people with disposable income could help me w survival this coming holiday season by helping me boost my gfm, please 🙏

Thank you for attending my opening! 💚💜 My solo show, Where Mountain Cats Live, is up until Jan 17 at grunt gallery in Vancouver.

the washing machine in my apartment complex regrettably demands an absolutely absurd number of quarters per wash sooooo tomorrow will be a laundromat day!

have been in housing flux for the majority of this year and like... to finally have things settled, have the path ahead laid out clearly, and to have so many good relationships going in my life right now is truly like earth shattering to me

putting my art up on the walls of my new place feels like... a relief on my brain

hey everyone, I posted a great deal of new art on my patreon, here are some crops! It would mean the world to me if you guys could come and check it out, and if you'd like to subscribe- I only charge literally one dollar a month for access to almost 400 pieces of exclusive artwork. (Cont)

Ecstasy

the last few years in sac were bad for me in ways I never saw coming. the things that happened there killed a lot of my hopes and dreams lol. Never felt more jaded in my life than I felt at the beginning of this year. I'm optimistic that this next chapter is gonna be better.

after I finish my current comms, I want to work on another design for the school. I've been challenging myself to create in ways that challenge my preconceived notions about what I think people want to see, or find acceptable. to follow where and what my heart wants to make.

creating work again... slowly. A couple commissions due soon that I will post once I send em off through the post office. Also made a t shirt design for my martial arts group and I'm very proud of it :,)

big things are happening >:) haven't posted in a while but I'm still alive!!

Happy Indigenous Peoples day, I am indigenous Isneg/Apayao through my mother, who is in need of help. please help me take care of my mama at trying to manage a progressive disease and helping extend her life through mutual aid and the miracle of modern medicine, please 🙇‍♂️

i desperately need to get a side monitor for digital painting T_T my laptop is so color wrong and it's starting to cause Problems

"Lakapati, pakanin mo yaring alipin mo. Huwag mong gutumin." English Translation “Lakapati, feed this servant of yours. Don't let them hunger.” One of the few prayers to a deity, we have recorded in the oldest Tagalog dictionary. Lakapati is the intersex deity of agriculture & giver of food.

Less than 2 weeks away! This fundraiser will be an amazing night of readings from Palestinian authors Mosab Abu Toha, Hala Alyan, & Hannah Lillith Assadi, along w/ myself & Seema Jilani, a pediatrician who’s been in Gaza and who works with INARA, an organization that supports children in war zones.

The Supreme Court bans affirmative action in university admissions but is okay with racial profiling on American streets. That pretty much sums up white supremacy--heads I win, tails you lose, all legal.

got covid, on the mend with the love and care of friends and fam. I feel like trash, but also so loved and cared for right now. It blows my mind.

kind of keeping up with sac news despite being all the way removed right now. who steals a whole ass taco truck???

If you see this, post a #dragon! Water Dragon 🌊 From my Asian Diasporic Zodiac series, inspired by hybrid identities and conversations with my Taiwanese mother. I reimagine the #Zodiac animals as if they were informed by diaspora and landscapes of Turtle Island / North America. #inkdrawing 🖤🖋️

finally feeling like im back on the path. things are going to be okay.

what a crazy last few weeks :,) it feels like my life was moving at a snail's pace for years, then everything happened at once.
