My name is Sloane, I'm an illustrator, comic artist and tattooer based in Aotearoa, I love body-horror, sci-fi and occasionally dabble in fantasy. You can find more of my work on my portfolio or pick up my comics on my itch.io ✨🫁💃🏻🫁✨

The cover for "Marrow and Other Stories," a collection of short comics by Sloane Hong. The title is accompanied by an illustration of a pair of hands with too many fingers, intertwined and filled with intravenous cannulas.

An assortment of 3 pages from different comics. First is of a spacecraft swallowing some kind of barbed asteroid as a siren blares over the speakers and 3 pairs of feet rush through its claustrophobic, pressurised halls.

The second is a continuation of the first. A woman peeks out from inside a room as the 3 people run by to ask what's happening. "What's going on?" "What do you think is going on? It's the moment of truth! We found it!" "We fucking found it!" "We... We found it??"

Third is a page from a different comic. Outside an observatory, a man leans over the door of a parked car, trying to comfort a woman ugly-crying, freaking out at the wheel. She wipes her tears away and pretends to be fine as the man looks on in concern.

3 illustrations side by side. The first is of an old man, framed inside an aged and toothless maw as ghosts spew forth from within. He clutches a tooth in his hands while a monkey, perched upon his back, points at the displaced pearl. The second is an illustration of a girl wearing countless wires and indiscernible technology. Her glasses are askew, hair frayed and sweat drips from her face yet she wears a smile. The third is single-page comic of a girl dancing. It begins with her hands raised high above her head, serenity painted across her face. She slowly brings them down and pulls her elbows back behind her as she takes a deep breath before letting out an explosive push.

my friend Ahmad and his family of 11 need your help. following the ceasefire, ahmad returned to his home in the north of Gaza alone. they can't afford the transportation cost for the rest of their family to move from the south, nor the cost of rebuilding. please support them ❤️‍🩹

i've had so much love in my life the past few weeks and what i've learned is that i've become scared of it and i must do everything in my power to fight that instinct

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.
