Born in '92, Closeted-Trans, She/Her pronouns: I'm a comic enthusiast who hopes to do her own comics one day. My other dreams include having a transition timeline where I Animorph into Maggie Chascarillo
Working on something starring my R. Mika ripoff, in an attempt to make her less of an R. Mika rip off.
Hi I don’t try to keep it secret that I love indie comics, including minicomics and zines, and also I love being on SL it helps with my Gender Dysphoria, and makes it easier for me to socialize.
So I was wondering what if I combined my loves, and tried to organize a small comics arts festival in SL? Would anyone be down for that? Please comment down below if you have any interest.
Currently on view at Moosey Norwich in Norwich, England is artistic duo Sydnie & Hayley Jimenez’s exhibition, “Right On Time.”
This collection of ceramic sculptures, ceramic paintings, and multimedia drawings draws on memories of Sydnie and Haylie’s experiences with friends and found families. Clay is chosen as a medium for its universally ancient history and its unpredictable qualities. Each work draws directly or indirectly from specific memories that they have recalled with various friends in Chicago and the american south, creating certain nostalgic and expressive imagery.
“The title “Right on Time” comes from the acronym ROT, something that has become a symbolic representation of longevity and family within our friends in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but also encompasses the community and care found among queer and BIPOC friends in Chicago. Often as black and brown femmes, our actions of navigating what deadlines should be met and when as well as comments/concerns of how quickly or how slowly “life” is moving is often policed based on societal expectations; we view “Right on Time” as a sort of motto or lifestyle where we are where we’re meant to be.” Sydnie and Haylie tell us.
Original Guido Crepax art. A pagefor “Hello, Anita!”, published by the Edizioni l'Isola Found in 1980.
I’m very conscious of how much reading Crepax has influenced me. I LOVE doing those little “stolen” moments panels of his, like here in panels 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7. They work everywhere, changing even superhero fight scenes into intimate moments.
