Really wish I could tell the difference 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve been feeling this every so often lately...less of a sadness and more of a disillusioned indifference to things I care a lot about? Is it depression? Is it getting older? Is it the overwhelming new cycle filled with non-stop tragedy across the globe?
Was anybody else like this in school? I had no idea what was happening in my math classes 80% of the time but was afraid to ask questions and slow the class down.
Finally drew this comic I wrote 8 mass shootings ago.
I’ve been listening to a lot of sad anime soundtracks while writing, and wanted to try drawing something without my usual dark line work. (A Silent Voice and Your Name are ones I listen to often).
Did you ever have any weird irrational fears as a kid? 🎭 Sorry I haven’t been posting as much! I’ve been a bit busy with working on my book and other projects.
Everyone deserves a happily ever after. 👸🏾🤴🏻👸🏽🤴🏿👸🏼
Tired of the high standards in mainstream media 🎭 Though lately I’ve started seeing some gay characters with more nuance and dimension.
Occasionally someone tells me they like that my illustrations are diverse, but I’m just drawing the people I see around me. 🤷🏻‍♂️✨
Spent the past weekend power watching @strangerthingstv 3 and Max and Eleven’s friendship was definitely a highlight. ✨
As #Pride2019 comes to a close remember to keep LGBTQ spaces diverse and inclusive of all people. We’re stronger as a team, so be proud together. ✨🏳️‍🌈
12/30 of my LGBTQ icons illustrations series is Alison Bechdel! 🏳️‍🌈 Comic artist known for her award winning graphic novel Fun Home, which was later adapted to the Tony winning musical of the same name. The Bechdel Test, commonly used in feminist film studies is derived from one of her comics. 🏳️‍🌈 Each day through June I will be posting an illustration of someone I believe is doing important things within the LGBTQ community! 🏳️‍🌈
@theebillyporter’s outfit for the Tony’s made him the obvious choice for 10/30 of my Pride 2019 Illustration series! Known for his work on the TV series Pose and his Tony Award winning role in Kinky Boots on Broadway. He’s recently become known for his glamorous gender-fluid outfits at the Met Gala and Oscars. He told USA Today: “I’m completely free of the chains that bound me earlier in my career. I’ve been hired for my authenticity … And that has not always been the case. One of the reasons why I haven’t been on many sets is because who I am and what I represent was not a story people wanted to hear or tell for a very long time.”
