2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]
My rendition of Emperor Frederick II and Sultan al-Kāmil at the 1229 Treaty of Jaffa at the end of the sixth crusade, which was mostly negotiated in secret and negatively received but is an interesting episode
I'm Allie aka Tomatobird and my tumblr of 10 years just got unceremoniously struck this morning! Working on getting it back but in the meantime: I'm an illustrator and comic artist, zine maker, occasional tattoo designer, and I draw lots of intricate, fantastical things (usually Biblical-Mythological themed) alongside more mundane works as well.
LINKS:
Anyways in the meantime here's my actual art website, where I have an blog that you can get email notifs for.
READ MY COMICS HERE -Bible themed works, weird angel stuff, personal visions.
BUY MY COMICS - Physical Zines on Storenvy, Digital Zines on itch.io . Many free works available to download!
Patreon - it's PWYW over $1, I have a small discord attached 2 it where I post WIPs and ramble. Currently working on 2 short comic projects rn.
COMMISSION INFORMATION - Google doc with comprehensive info. I do tattoo designs, personal custom illustrations, and fancy OC work (see pics above.). Big fan of drawing DRAMATIC and fantastical stuff, but I'm flexible! email: [email protected]
OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA: twitter, instagram
Thats all my info for now! Reblog if you like...idk if i'll get my OG acct back, and not sure if I want to put in the effort to set up a new gallery site or something all over again if the sites are all going to be so frustrating like this.. Mainly, I'm still looking for commission work, and to be able to post my comics, so sharing would be very appreciated!
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.
then they started fighting Covid precautions.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.
now my parents think climate change is a myth.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.
then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.
now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.
you can guess who they voted for.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
Demonstrators and artists have taken the steps of the met museum unfurling an ENORMOUS (30 x 50 foot) quilt created by artists around the world in solidarity with Palestine.
The quilt was collectively created by 64 artists from around the world and shipped to New York City.
They're demanding the met museum:
(1) cut ties with board members profiting from Israeli bombardment + occupation of Palestine
(2) support an immediate + permanent ceasefire
(3) aid the preservation of Palestinian cultural heritage sites being destroyed by Israel
In addition to the quilt, demonstrators reclaimed and redistributed Met flyers, stickered with movement messaging and demands.
