Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Aisha, a Black disabled freelance illustrator based in NYC with almost 20 years of experience, looking for work in editorial, book covers, & TTRPGs. I love color, romance, fantasy, and adventure and try to express that in my work.

Abby Saja and Romance Saja sharing an intimate moment as Abby catches The chain of Romance's necklace between his teeth. Both are shirtless and backlit by a white background.

A digital illustration of Mira from Kpop Demon Hunters sandwiched between Romance Saja and Abs Saja, done in the style of the infamous Twelfth Night promo pic with Audra McDonald, Anne Hathaway, and Raul Esparza. It's very pink and sparkly, like a scene from a kdrama. Except slightly horny because Romance and Abby are shirtless.

A Procreate illustration of Seonghwa from ATEEZ holding a glowing sword across his chest. He is surrounded by writhing red tentacles that he is prepared to battle.

An illustration of a black woman in a long flowing white dress against an abstract starry sky. Her curly hair is haloed in blue while a bolt of glowing yellow light pierces her chest.

You can do this on the app! It's just under Home Feed Tuner. Select that and "GenAI Interests" is all the way on the right. I was able to disable everything.

On top, Mars and Will almost kissing, their two hands intertwined behind them. In an arched frame, they're hugging in a castle like setting. A pomegranate frames the whole picture at the top.

Today we came across a species of mushroom that I will get to report to the state biodiversity database! I've lived in this area most of my life and have never once seen an Indigo Milk Cap. I could tell it was an agaric so I was careful not to touch, but these are edible when cooked.

A small, round-capped, vibrant blue mushroom peeking out from leaves and pine needles.

A slightly larger blue mushroom with more irregular edges. Pale blue is spreading from the center of the cap, which has developed a funnel shape. There is a tiny tinge of green in the center.

I tried to photograph the gills of the second mushroom for identification. They're the same blue as the cap. I dunno, it's just neat.

was scrolling through my gallery looking for something from years ago, and happened to find this ot7 pic from GQ Japan, it's one of my favourites and I miss seeing them all just laughing and being chaotic together 🥹

BTS for GQ Japan, the pic is in black and white, and we can see what seems to be Jin half holding Jungkook in his arms, yoongi is trying to escape the chaos, Tae is by his side looking flabbergasted, the we've got namjoon that seems to be climbing on top of hobi? Jimin? a little unclear but they are all laughing and being chaotic as usual.

Art friends: Here's a tip for getting rid of *a lot* of the AI slop in your Pinterest feed.

⭐Go into your account settings.
⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab.
⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab.
⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

Screenshot of the Pinterest settings menu. The option "Refine your recommendations" is circled.

Screengrab of the Refine Your Recommendations tab in Pinterest's settings. The subtab GenAI Interests is circled.
Below, all options have been turned off.

between this and the ICE ads on Spotify, YouTube randomly doing AI edits of creator's videos without their consent, and the U.S. government taking over TikTok, I think I'll just get really into collecting music on CDs and start bringing books with me everywhere again.
