Was going to out a bunch of graphics on these but friends reminded me to keep stuff simple at times.
All these are interchangeable. Art is not solely made for forces that oppose our values and community. However, sometimes you have to remind haters that the hurt they put into this life will not be tolerated and will be shut down.
Art and liberation creates the culture that helps us love more deeply, fight with stronger conviction, and hopefully radicalized this world into something better.
Go make that much needed shit. 😊 by @lorenzdumuk

Wanted to add more to my "Pakos Unfurling" series. Pakos or ferns, have been one of those grounding images to me lately. There is an Ilocano ritual I learned from one of Manong Mark's memorial last year. The practice is you get a piece of fern, roll it up, place in your hand, think of the one you grieving, and open your hand especially after saying their name.
Wrote a piece about Nolan Wells this month and today I decided to work on this piece today.
If you have the means. please donate to their gofund. More importantly, continue to say the names of all those who died from those we grieve personally to those in our communities whose death is plagued with some form of injustice.

If you do not follow @keanalabra they pretty much is my sibling. Keana been making wonderful and heartfelt zines using thermal printed paper from their camera. I got inspired to buy a mini thermal printer but haven't gotten around to using it. Tonight I got my printer back from Keana and handed Keana more paper/sticker for them to use. Finally decided to play around by printing pics of myself, color a bit, and go where things go. by @lorenzdumuk
