Giddy up, it's time! Come back the DEVIL'S CLAIM, a western horror art zine produced by @thevelvetcompote.bsky.social ft art & literature from over 50 creators, myself included! All sales will go to the Native American Rights Fund, so let's make it happen 🌵🐴 www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

A cropped illustration of a shadowed man with crimson antlers and clawed hands, surrounded by a desert night and crimson-horned jackalopes.

CHARITY ANNOUNCEMENT: All artbook proceeds after printing, shipping, & contributor compensation will benefit NARF, the Native American Rights Fund. They provide legal advocacy for Native tribes and individuals, fighting for tribal sovereignty, treaty rights, and protection of Indigenous communities. The "Wild West" was built on stolen land and the violence of colonization. Supporting Indigenous-led organizations is a small step toward accountability and honoring that truth.
