I want to thank all of you guys from the bottom of my heart for this outpouring of love and generosity. In just 24 hours we raised ✨$3,000.00✨ that will go to Planned Parenthood, the Sierra Club, the Los Angeles LGBT Center, ASPCA, ACLU, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, the Astraea Lesbian Foundation of Justice, the Ali Forney Center and The Trevor Project. I don't want this to be just a one time thing and am hoping to continue raising money with my artwork and shining a light on different organizations and charities that are doing good in this world! So keep an eye out each week for a new piece of artwork up for sale with the proceeds going to a good cause (also please please feel free to recommend organizations and charities 💕)

**(edit/update) I did an original art drive on IG last week as a way to start having a positive impact. I was feeling so helpless and just.. grieving after the results of our election..and the continued updates of what the incoming administration wants to enact in the new year...as mentioned in my original comment of this pic..This isn't just a one time thing...please follow me on Instagram if you're at all interested in purchasing original art for a good cause. As of now with people's generosity we've raised $4,200.00 for different charities and organizations (some new ones being the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Anti-Defamation League and the Flint Child Health & Development Fund)

Thank you everyone for the follows and likes and lovely comments! I try to answer as much as I can privately..but I dont respond to anonymous asks. I'm also not taking any personal art requests or commissions. I work all day boarding at a studio...all the art I happen to do and then post is for fun and myself.

Just a quick blurb about my process and tools for people that keep asking... I do my initial sketches with a col-erase pencil, then block in the colors with copic sketch markers. The lineart is then done with a brush pen.. For the most recent pieces I've been using a Sakura pigma professional fb pen .. And let me tell you guys... It is the tits 👌 everything is either drawn on strathmore Bristol (like this piece) or strathmore marker paper.. And tbh I think the market paper is the better surface so far... Hope that helps :)
