this may not go up on the website because it's a damned pain to render poems like this in html (not really maybe i just don't know the tools). technically a redaction poem. #poetry

poem, titled: plea for terra firma

poem text:
"yeah, but
No

not capable
of the
expected woman.
learn
to wipe
change attributes.
be insane
leave an unmarked bag
in May 2002
turn people

contrary to popular belief these characters are not alike at all

#art #projectbfer #StreetShuffle #indiedev

illustration of 5 characters.

on the left is erika, a girl with short black hair. she's wearing gray overalls and a striped hoodie. she has mime makeup on.
next to her is ridley, a girl with red hair in pigtails. shes smiling and has a pink polkadot dress on.
in the middle is agnes, a girl with dark green hair in a ponytail. she looks annoyed and is hiding a deck of cards in her hand. she's wearing a gray beanie and an orange hoodie with a bunny on the front.
next to her is valentino, a boy with curly blonde hair. he's looking over her shoulder trying to look at the cards. he's wearing a magenta puffer and purple pants.
lastly is nevada, someone with long brown hair and swirly glasses. they are wearing a backwards baseball hat, flame pants. and a black vest they're having trouble closing.

illustration of two characters with text above them.

on the left is ace, a person with dark red hair in a ponytail, a gray beanie and an orange hoodie.
on the right is agnes, a girl with dark green hair in a longer ponytail, glasses, and a blue shirt.

the text above both of them is the same:
"-low ponytail
-long bang
-thick eyebrows
-sleepy eyes
-tan-ish skin
-the Protagonist"

DOLLMAKER, a zine about human beings dehumanized into dolls.

#art #zine #comic

a zine page with one eye and a cross hair showing and the text "a figurine that is not a "figure" (like a human being), is that a doll?"

DOLLMAKER, MAKE TIME. COUNT YOUR DAYS. if beauty is the objectification of pleasure,

a human that is made into a doll is the object.

"DOLLMAKER, do you dare condemn me for what I will do?"

To all of you, from the bottom of my heart:
Thank you for following~ 🖤🤍

A four-legged monster stands in front of a blue background. Written on the background is the phrase "Thank you for following." over and over again, with the spelling and syntax of the phrase becoming less coherent with each repetition.
