Anfisa, a fallout original character stands to the left in tightie-whities, picking his nose with one hand and holding a revolver in the other. Boone sits to the right, face palming with a thought bubble reading "Oh my god, this idiot is going to get me killed."

i love being gay, transgender, childless, and unmarried
a black and white edit that reads "i am an enemy of the nuclear family". in the middle of the image is a cat curled up in front of a house. behind the cat and house are white stars with many points. there is a border around the image made of small white dots. the image is textured to look grainy.

From working people to queers to colonized people and victims of imperialism, our struggles are all connected.

DEADSUN
A nine panel comic strip following two figures as they traverse a barren and desolate landscape - their journey takes them through ruins and abandoned structures of a former civilisation - we realise that this was once our world and the destruction is the result of a massive global war - we also learn that these ruins and wastelands are the home and country of the victors in the war! The strip is titled Deadsun.

one of my most popular designs
a black and white typography edit. there is white text that reads "don't want to see trans people? pluck out your eyes." in the middle of the design is a hand holding a scorpion by the tail. between the scorpion's claws is a human eyeball. the entire image is edited to look photocopied.

two panel comic assignment
#art #illustration #comic #comicart #vietnamwar
a two panel comic inspired by a line or lyrics from the song "The Man Who Couldn't Cry" by Johnny Cash. the first panel shows a vietnam war soldier outlined against a burning hut as he douses it in napalm. the second panel reveals his face lit by the flames, emotionless. bottom text is the lyric: napalmed babies, the movie love story, for instance, could not produce tears.
