🌙 In love with this new illustration from koidoodles!✨

Koi says: "To celebrate Black queerness (and at once queer Blackness) is to celebrate the multitudes of life. In much the same way that the sea's beauty is enhanced by the world it reflects, or how the sky is not just the atmosphere but the clouds and stars and all that it holds, there is unique vibrancy in appreciating intersectionality. To me, to be Black and to be LGBT are two important parts of me but not two separate concepts. There is overlap, they affect each other.

I see this in myself, and on a much grander scale in the way Black culture and queer culture are both enriched by Black queer people, who all deserve to be celebrated and uplifted for who they are.

I hope this piece reflects some of the peace and warmth that can be found in taking time to celebrate your own intricacy as well as that which exists all around us.” 💜

PS: If you sign up to be a recurring donor to support LGBTQ+ youth during Black History Month, we'll send you Koi's exclusive postcard-sized piece as a thank-you for free. Win win, no?

Spotlight: African Folktales

For Black History Month I found another book of folktales (shocker) to share with you all! The fun and exciting part of this job is being able to look into things that one would not normally take the time to explore, and I have been given the opportunity to do nothing but explore and dig into the expansive collection we have in Special Collections (if you aren’t getting interested to come in and take a peek, you should be).

The book I am keen on sharing is The Ox of the Wonderful Horns: And Other African Folktales, a children’s book from our Historical Curriculum Collection, published in New York by Atheneum in 1971. The stories were retold and illustrated by Ashley Frederick Bryan (1923-2022), an American writer and illustrator for children’s books, of which most of his subjects focus on the African-American experience. Bryan’s desire and challenge for the anthology was to “bring the stilted language of the linguists’ narration back to an oral tradition through rhythm and poetic verses.”

This anthology features five tales from Akan-Ashanti, Angolan, South African, and Kaffir myths with various illustrations accompanying us through each story. The illustrations switch between half-page black and white and full-page color that are meant to evoke African wood block motifs that suggest the ochres and reds of African clay dyes and African textile designs; very eye-catching and absorbing!

Hi all! I've hit a rough patch financially and being sick recently hasn't helped. Rent is coming up, I have several payments due. I'm a student mostly on my own so I work but classes take up most of my time, I really only earn enough to get by. So I'm opening some portrait commissions!

Each Portrait is $40 with a turnaround of two weeks.

I also have sketch commissions for $10 on Ko-Fi here:

I've advertised my commissions on here before but it hasn't got much reach but I really need this to go around! even If you can't commission me please reblog this to help a broke college student!

Collection of Christian Robinson's Illustrations

Happy Saturday!

Recently, I read a picture book by Christian Robinson — You Matter. After reading the book, I was inspired by some of the illustrations within the book. Hence, this week I will like to share some of the art that was created by Christian Robinson who is a children's book illustrator.

Christian Robinson is an American animator and a children's book illustrator.

In his artwork, we can see how fun, bright, and vibrant the colors are. His artwork is also very inclusive and diverse including various types of people — different races, ages, and disabilities — making it engaging for the audience as we feel more represented within his artwork.

ECCC 2024 Recap

Well my first time vending at ECCC was a lot of fun (with some minor hiccups), but overall it was a success.

It's always hard to vend at a convention as an artist creating original work but the reception was wonderful and I got to chat with many wonderful folks about the upcoming comic, vintage stuff, vampires and queer history as well as hype up BIPOC VampDay. 

I know there have been a few requests from folks who couldn't attend ECCC for merchandise - as well as interest in items that sold out. Well you're in luck! I'll be adding leftover merchandise and a restock of the large vampire buttons to my Ko-fi shop- so stay tuned for that announcement.

If you're interested in supporting the comic, commissioning me or getting involved in BIPOC Vamp Day - check out the links below:
