I am using Discworld to figure out how to use Procreate. Also…it was nice challenge to draw just dialogue scene in slapstick way. Ughhh…I would love to spend year or two drawing Feet of Clay graphic novel, I love that book so much x_x …and I have no job just now…I should ask around…about how licences works or something…. .
I haven’t been on this app in a while, but I know a Black man, Keith Porter, was murdered by ICE on New Year’s Eve (Rest in Power) in Cali. Just one of the countless Black people who’ve been murdered by ICE and other agents of the state.
I log back into this app and see the conversations around the white woman, Renee Good, who was just recently killed. And I can’t help but notice the stark difference in circulation of news and boosting of stories between both of them across this app…
Shit has BEEN happening to Black people across administrations and is currently happening to Black people under this administration, and is met by crickets. Yet when it starts touching white people, I see real anger start being felt from the gen pop followed by amplification and co-opting of Black terms and memorialization… I stg it takes everything in me to give af about yall.
**Edited: linking a gfm for Keith
***update: the gfm is unavailable. Will post an updated link as soon as I have one (removing the link until then for less confusion)
*** updated gfm link verified by Keith Porter Jr’s grandfather
She spent hours upon hours just beating the canvas with a belt…
when you look at the finished painting, you can almost see letters - but there aren’t any. It’s all noise. a lot of adults process this sort of beating by insisting there is a lesson in it. with the title and artist statement in mind, it’s like they’re trying to read a message of love written in that chaotic canvas.
