Hi #portfolioday! My name's Olivia and I'm a queer Black graphic novelist, writer and illustrator. [horror/speculative fiction focus]

Right now I'm open to comics [writing and/or drawing] + illustration gigs!

A greyscale illustration depicting a figure holding a rifle while walking under large cottonwood trees. In the foreground, a breeze flows through the long grasses. Comic page rendered in blue and orange tones. A Black woman stands in the middle of towering trees with large holes in their trunks. She wears a sheer slip dress and looks up at the orange sky. Above her are the words THE SKY HAS A CRACK IN IT. Comic page rendered in pencil, ballpoint pen, and limited digital color. A woman looks up at a large, terrifying creature made of tree branches and severed body parts. Chickadees perch on the creature's wooden limbs. Blue eggs sit in the nest that makes up the creature's head. The creature lowers its long, blood limb towards the woman's face. She looks fearful at first, before closing her eyes and smiling. As this happens, the captions read: "She will give you your words, but only if you give in return. All art demands this of us."

-human tries to use art to perfectly communicate something they see or feel
-they fail
-in failing, their fingerprints get all over the art
-other humans see the fingerprints and find them beautiful, learn something unexpected about the human that created the art which is beautiful

Introducing: ACCURSED MOON SOUL 🏴‍☠️😈🗡️

An ex-pirate with a hellish past searches for a cure to a strange mark left by the crew she betrayed. But her past has a way of catching up and consuming her mind and soul, no matter how far she runs. ⛵

#BluePit #BluePit 📖 #Q #A #F #D #OV #LGBT
In the centre is the logo for 'Accursed Moon Soul', the pictures surrounding the logo from left to right - a ship wheel, someone falling into water, a woman holding a glowing orb, a ship sailing through fog, a woman in a row boat, a manta ray, the same woman from the third image bloodied and holding a sword, a hand touching their reflection, and the silhouette of a woman with red eyes The text reads: 'Evelyn Farrow is an infamous ex-pirate whose past is a dark and hellish secret. When she wanted no part in her captain’s dealings with a devil, a strange mark was branded onto her as punishment for her betrayal. The aftermath of that ritual led to her killing her crew in an inhumane fit of revenge. She is now the sole survivor, left to bury their legacy of conquest over the oceans.  Nine months have passed, and Evelyn has lied her way into a new crew of faithful and upbeat treasure hunters. She’s determined to leave her pirate days behind her, but the unending nightmares of that fateful massacre serve as a reminder of what she’s running from. Whilst chasing a rumour of a hidden artefact, the mark finally awakens, and an otherworldly voice makes home in her mind. An alteration in the strings of fate has bound them together, and in order for this mysterious entity to reawaken and reignite a centuries-long grudge with the gods, needs Evelyn to obtain this artefact by any means necessary. With her lies beginning to unravel, she must find the courage to face the past in order to save herself, or risk losing the friends that would sail to the end of the world to save her. ' Graphic to display comp titles and tropes, the three include The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty, One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, and Baldurs Gate 3 by Larian Studios. The text reads from left to right: Dark pasts, pirate/sailor fmc, psychological horror, found family, 'own voices' mental health rep, queer cast, alter-ego, high stakes treasure hunt, battling internal monsters, 'bantering misfits' group dynamic On top of a dark underwater background, the text reads: 'Waves crashed against the lone pier as the sea waited to drown me. I had no recollection of how I got there, teetering like I was on the edge of a great precipice. The dense fog and heavy stench of brine disorientated what little of myself I still had some control over. I stared out into the nothingness. The nothingness stared back. This was how the Manta Ray and her terrible legacy would finally come to an end. I’d had one tattooed across my back, in commemoration of the title. Its white markings were intentionally skeletal, with a wingspan that wrapped around my shoulder blades. Now, the ink prickled, wanting to remove itself as much as I was desperate for it to. The name had meant something once, before it became an ironic joke. The creature’s alternative name of devilfish was a dull ringing in my ears. Every waking moment, the reason why haunted me. I’d had enough. - Chapter 1'

Absolutely this.

Transphobia isn’t:
- “collaborating” with Nazism
- “enabling” Nazism
- Nazism “adjacent”

It IS Nazism.
taliabhatt.itch.io Talia "Praying to Words Alyson" Bhatt ⚢ @taliabhatt.itch.io · Dec 16
The comorbidity of neo-Nazism and transphobia isn't just a kind of "one bad belief leads to all bad beliefs". At its core, it's the same belief: belief in a rigid societal order where your station at birth determines your future, your role, and how you must labor.

A belief in biodestiny, in short.

Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction.

And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake.

If this were actually A Thing that was having a major effect on demographics' weight, literally ALL short people in those demographics would be fat.

We're paying for people to churn out this absolute bs. This is literally coming straight out of the money we could be using to feed hungry kids.

Working on DEAREST MINA, a YA adaptation of DRACULA told from Mina's POV, and it has been a BEAST I've been struggling to handle due to it being such a research intensive graphic novel that has been challenging me artistically around every corner.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

Already some clear landslides, and some very competitive categories :))

I'm honestly really impressed, folks are doing a much better job with the down ballot categories than last year. The depth of field is 🤌
