Imagine your TTRPG game where players are exploring an ancient ruin or temple and are tasked to translate a carving, only for it to say: “Abilash loves Suhasini, xoxoxo”

Like, I just deeply love the non-philosophical or serious nature of this. It just shows how people were just…people, always. Flawed, goofy, annoying little vandals carving their little two cents onto now modern marvels.

“Copan came and saw" (Copan Varata Kantan)”…. Basically our modern day version “Copan was here” style tourist graffiti….😆

TIL: that there were South Indian tourists during the height of Egyptian civilizations… because archeologists were finally able to translate old non-Hieroglyphics carvings on various pyramids based on old Sanskrit/Prakrit texts…. That says things like:

I don't know how much more apparent I can make myself on this cause and where I stand on humanity. KP11 Studios stands against genocide, against apartheid, against illegal land grabs, against the death of children. I will always do my best to stand on the side of the oppressed.

To Ed Sheeran & Pink: Yeah, I ain’t reading all that. It’s a whole lot of you saying “I’m ok with 20,000 dead children.” Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Stop the Genocide

And to sign off, as one of my most recent favorite characters would say: “You. Will. Not. Break. Me!”

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

But the 73,000 dead can’t say that. The 21,000+ children can’t say that. As a brown man who has faced discrimination & loss of opportunities all my life, this won’t be new. I know how to pivot. But the dead have no choice. This is a genocide. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

But I will have a family to go back to, a daughter that’s alive & laughing in my arms to play with, a home to live in, & I will find other ways to sustain myself.

As Macklemore said, and I say so for myself: I am not a victim. The people of Palestine are the victims. I can lose my influence & career in the creative industry, lose opportunities, have people boycott my work & presence, close doors on me all they want.

Art IS and ALWAYS has been POLITICAL Music IS and ALWAYS has been POLITICAL Anyone saying that they are “apolitical” or “stop using the stage for your politics” is always on the the privileged side. On the oppressor’s side.

To everyone in the current industries I’m in, from #TTRPG and #DnD, to #boardgames and #TCG… Those that considered themselves #influencer and #contentcreator. Those #streaming on #youtube or #twitch… Which one of these are you?

I wish hell to those who still blame us today, 25 years later, who wanted Mayor Mamdani to not attend the 9/11 ceremony even though he was 9 at the time. And I wish peace to me, & my fellow brown folks, to be released from this collective guilt.

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I wish justice for the millions of deaths that followed in retaliation and political machinations to exploit the region in name of “justice”.

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I wish a big middle finger to those that blamed me, a 10 year old child at the time, for the attacks. Who called me terrorist, sand n****r, towel head, and so much more, including adults.

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I have….so many feelings about today. I will always wish rest and peace to the souls that were lost today and their families who had to carry on after the loss. I wish safety from racists & xenophobes to my fellow brown folks.

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Like….i hope people can see that it’snot you. It’s never been you that’s been the reason why you didn’t look good in a photo. And to know that so many people go thinking that because they just didn’t know how to take photos of themselves, or had a bad photographer.

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Best. Birthday Gift. Ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I truly can’t express how much it means to me knowing I was able to make someone feel good about themselves! To show them that they are indeed stunning and photogenic!

I love and am humbled at the trust these creators put in me to capture their baby in the best light (no pun intended) cause they know a bad photo will make or break how people see their creation. And…I’m proud to say…I’m damn good at doing just that!

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I love my job ❤️ I love capturing beautiful works of art on camera and doing my best to capture what makes them stand out! I love seeing tangible results of so many people’s vision, talent, hard work, and creativity and doing my part in the chain to put them on the pedestal they deserve!

What if I did Fine Art style V:tM shoots for folks at LARPs like this..... Naaaaaaahhhh..... UNLESS....👀👀👀👀👀 Was playing around with an old portrait shoot I did and really loved the final edited look!

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

An edit like this takes much longer than my typical con-photography, but you can't deny the end results! Would be something to offer as a bespoke experience for those wanting a more...refined experience!

Also added benefit of this, and the goal of my current workflow is to show that I can achieve high-quality head shots without any use of AI just simple camera techniques.

Remember the BIPOC Sponsored Photobooth that I am working to establish at every single industry con? Aka, Equity Lens? This is what I hope to keep making with the backing of industry professionals/leaders. There’s so much diversity in our space! Let’s work together to put a spotlight on them!

Follow and share if you believe in the same. If you actively make effort to engage and elevate diversity in your community. If you do your pat in showing we exist and thrive everywhere.

If one video/post explains who I am and what I strive to do, it’s this: Capturing ✨MELANIN✨ across all shades, tones, depth, etc. In professional settings to fantasy and beyond. We exist everywhere, in everything. And it’s my joy to help show that!
