Exciting news for illustration and design enthusiasts! Modern Illustration, a new online archive celebrating the history of illustration, is now live.

Originally starting out as an Instagram account called Ephemerama! in 2018, modernillustration.org is a searchable collection featuring hundreds of illustrations from c.1950-1975. Over the past decade, I have gathered a wide range of ephemeral artefacts, featuring both well-known illustrators and those who have been overlooked in design history.

The archive features items such as brochures, leaflets, beermats, stamps and more. It provides an invaluable glimpse into the past and highlights how promotional materials hold important insights into the products, trends, and attitudes of a particular era. These rare and forgotten images are now available for inspiration and education for anyone interested in design, history, and culture.

As an illustrator and collector, Modern Illustration is a labour of love for me, and I am thrilled to share it with others. I believe that by developing a more comprehensive history of illustration, we can gain a better understanding of the evolution of design and its impact on society. I highly recommend this archive to anyone who shares this enthusiasm.

when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️

however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!

Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.

So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday

LANDBACK.ORG

(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)

I'd like to introduce you to LJS 57, a compendium of Astronomical text in Hebrew, written in Spain around 1391. It's an interesting combination of astronomy and astrology, and illustrates how the division between "science" and "not science" was not nearly so clear in the past as it is today. It has some fantastic illustrations of constellations!

One of the first sketches I did after watching the series in the summer. I missed the warmth in their relationship then, that’s why everything is so fluffy here.
