The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection.

It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.

The Hearth (1/21)

A sapphic horror comic about witchcraft and hunger in the dead of winter.

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm Manuel and I make mostly spooky art using charcoal and digital means!

🎨 mindistortion.tv
🛒 inprnt.com/gallery/mindistortiontv/

Charcoal drawing of an anglerfish in darkness, its esca illuminating dark eyes and sharp teeth.

Eerie digital painting of a person sitting hunched on a wall. The image is mostly monochrome, except for slight haze in the background and a warm halo in the subject's hand.

Gritty charcoal drawing of a weary skeleton wearing a thorny crown. The drawing has a variety of textures ranging from soft to rough, with the crown and teeth drawn in heavy, gestural marks.

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm Null. Creatures and constructed worlds are my focus. Illustration, tattoo, and sculpture are my tools of choice. I'd describe my approach as a "fantasy for more than just escapism" kind of thing.
