Hey #portfolioday! I'm a queer, agender, disabled #colorist who has been working in the industry for over a decade! My portfolio can be found here including pdf of pages: www.kellyfempire.com/p/published-...

Shade the Changing Girl. Giant hands floating playing checkers while Shade and Rac Shade are seen walking and talking on a giant checker board. There is a rainbow madness gradient across the top of the image. Rac shade has slightly darker hands with a black checker piece while Shade has light blue long fingernails playing with the red piece. Shade is wearing a long red bodysuit with black chelsea boots and a rainbow madness coat and Rac Shade is shoeless with black pants, a white shirt (like his classic shirt w/ the 3 yellow circles) and his classic madness coat with white madness. The board has a glitch pattern on it and Shade's face is glitched out HUGE in the background behind the giant hands.

X-men from the 2023 Marvel Pride Issue. 4 X-men are training in the jungle on the beach. Bishop is talking to a hologram on a communicator.

Starsigns. Northern lights w/ a blonde character in the snow talking to a scientist inputting data.

Ride On. Horses and their owners getting ready at a stable before a horse shoe. A black boy, ginger white girl and a white girl with honey blonde natural roots grown long with teal blue ends are talking before they ride.

The New York Times experienced the first Trump term and then had a four-year grace period to think seriously about how to responsibly cover a president who lies all the time. At this point, we have to determine that they’re rooting for him.

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 3d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Censorship has fully arrived. In the latest, Apple banned an app that archived ICE abuses for legal evidence

Every single day, censorship gets stronger as media and corporations bend to serve the regime

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

Illustration of a Harpy and Mermaid, in love. The mermaid lays on her back in a tide pool as the harpy flies closely above her. Their faces and bodies almost touching, but not quite yet. the bottom half of the illustration where the mermaid is, is all in blue/reens, while the upper half where the harpy is, is all in warm pink/purple/yellows. Their eyes match the others pallet
