more people need to give themselves permission to write and draw pornography

it is virtuous and necessary that you write, draw, and distribute pornography

can we start with not conflating "erotic/sexual art or writing" with pornography

I'm inherently a bit aloof about it because I make art primarily for myself, but I really do appreciate that other people enjoy it too

even when I make art for other people, it's for myself, because of my warrior way. I hope you understand

Gazing upon the endless creators of Tumblr that could absolutely use my beginner's advice to change their perspectives on Black people- and thus their Black character design and media analysis of Black characters- knowing they'll never ask because confronting their internalized biases is "outside of their comfort zone":

The cool secret to no longer be uncomfortable at the idea of being antiblack is knowledge!

You can either walk around on pins and needles worried that you might accidentally be racist and experience social consequence for that, and lose that blissful claim to ignorance anyway-

OR

You can educate yourself! By knowing what to spot, you can dodge those potholes and be a better (or at least less ignorant) person in the long run! And that will make you far more comfortable in your intent vs your actions, because you will be aware!

For those who want to educate themselves, to take that first step, I have the blog for you! 👍🏾

huran enki part I: primer

this is the 1st of a series of posts introducing my main projects and the characters who you will see in my works. see them all in the Collections tab on subscribestar or in the tag #primer on tumblr! huran enki is my 6+ year old original fantasy/black comedy about barbarians and their problems. it's my solo project and a sandbox that i fuck around with via comics/illustrations/writings but formally i would like it to be an illustrated novel one day!

How to format, print, and bind a zine

This is a consolidated version of previous posts on zine making, with more detail and screenshots. For a version of this post on gdocs, click here.

This is a step-by-step guide on how to use InDesign (or similar programs) to format and print a zine. This can be used for fanzines, sketchbooks, anything. It’s also only one way to do things - there are as many methods as there are zines under the sun. If you’re interested in other ways, searching for zinemaking on youtube would be a start.
