What a crazy year it has been. I really want to make time for myself and my art making process. Consistency is the word of the year for me.… in all aspects of my life. #selfie #art #artist #illustrator #gayart #gayartist #gay #blackartist

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

I create my own happiness and I do not need to rely solely on others to fill that well. I fill my own cup up and allow others to pour into it, if they so choose #thursdaythoughts #dailyaffirmations

I often struggle with not feeling good enough as a disabled person. I struggle with comparison to non-disabled people and other disabled people. We leave disabled people with only two choices - to be superheroes or pitiable cripples. We leave almost no room for them to have human emotions.

Thinking about doing a “paint rehab” on this unfinished painting I’ve done years ago. Hmmm 🤔 #art #artist #gayartist #painting #landscape #acrylicpainting #illustration

the thing about disability is that it will happen to all of us and it won't only be paralysis or accidents. It could be old age, it could be immuno-compromised, it could be so many things that cause disability, and I wish the media would show that reality. and.... we need to talk about that more.

Learning to pivot when things take an unexpected turn can be distressing, but remember to never let it stop you from pursuing your goals in life.

One of the biggest things that I don’t like about being disabled is knowing that I’ll never have a full time job. I’ll always worry about my income, and that is really hard.

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking. Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

Another friendly reminder that “ObamaCare” isn’t a real thing; it’s called the ACA (Affordable care act). Just yet another thing rooted in anti-blackness to fuel a harmful narrative to take away people’s right to healthcare. The gullible fall for it every single time.

But I am a gay/queer artist, at the end of the day I shouldn’t have to limit myself in order to fit into certain standards. If I wanna make explicitly gay/queer art …then damn it, that’s EXACTLY WHAT I’M GONNA DO! And if I wanna paint portraits and landscapes…I’LL DO THAT TOO! Don’t limit yourself.

“Bottom’s Up!” As a gay artist, I’ve always been afraid to lean into “explicitly queer art” because I felt like it would’ve “boxed” me in as something that I didn’t really wanna fully embrace, myself. Prolly bc I didn’t wanna limit my audience. #gay #gayart #gayartist #queerart #figuredrawing
