I make art. I listen to good music and it influences my art. Seriously, my favorite artist, personally, is Aidan Hughes, who illustrated nearly every KMFDM album cover. If you manage to look him up, you'll see how our art is sometimes stylistically similar. I prefer to illustrate in Illustrator, but I'm proficient in Dreamweaver, Photoshop, InDesign, Animate, Krita, Z Brush, all drawn mediums, traditional and not, linoleum relief cutting, acrylic paint, ink wash, ceramics, watercolor, collage, sewing, carpentry, and package construction. If you want me to use a different medium, I will add it to the list. Sometime I still make art for fun, but usually I include a message, because I feel so uniquely empowered to do so. I prefer bleak and dark compositions, but I am no stranger to variety. For my designs, I draw lots of inspiration from all time, everywhere. My favorite designs accompany musicians' work, and the prevalance of products like Liquid Death, that have similar branding as a shelf product, make me very hopeful for my future.
I have been an activist since October, 2023. The genocide in Palestine was the first thing I've ever protested. Sadly, it is still one of the causes for which I protest. ↙↙↙ I am antifascist, antiauthoritarian, and for human rights. My activism started out independant, but changed for maximum success and influence. Now I work with YDAR, PCD, S.A.L.T, and directly interact with politicians for good change in Arkansas. I've registered voters, canvased, designed logos and advertisments, painted signs, made websites, collected food drives, given people transportation, and protested, all in an effort for good change. I've seen a bill ammended, my neighbors fed, my coworkers safely home, a court hearing denied, and countless politicians' toes stepped on. We are the change in our community. If everyone would be this active, Arkansas would be beautiful, safe, and certainly well educated. But Arkansas is not those things; An AI data center is being constructed in Johnson County, another is fighting to erect near Little Rock, our president stripped away vital EPA restrictions on businesses, we have the single most unsafe nuclear powerplant in the nation, Arkansas has beans for an economy, and educates its students like they're future Klansmen. This is a difficult place to have a spine, but those of us who choose to, must, for the sakes of our equals. There's lots of work to be done.
