There’s a city. It’s like most other cities. Buildings. People. Monsters who can destroy sidewalks by vomiting acid onto the ground, and an elite group of black, queer, magical girls who work to put those monsters in their place.
See? Just like most other cities.
Bree Danvers would’ve compared it to a video game, maybe a cartoon or comic book, except black girls are rarely the heroines of the story. But there her heroine stood, plus sized and wonderful, rocking a dazzling amount of purple and defeating monsters with galactic sparkles. Galactic Purple, that was her name, and soon, Bree was joining her on a magical adventure full of transformations and after school battles to defend a city like most other cities.
And soon, others would join them, and each one would be magical in their own way… give or take a few bumps on the acid covered ground.
AND WE’RE LIVE!!! The Kickstarter for the first book in my magical girl book series is ready to go! The series focuses on a group of black, queer, magical girls who save the world with sparkles, sass, and fabulous hair. The first book, “I Am Magical,” is the start of the adventure, and will be a full-length novel with full colored picture inserts and mini one-shot comics. There are all sorts of fun early bird extras, exclusives, freebees, add-ons, tiers, stretch goals… THE WORKS!
The Kickstarter is HERE! Thank you to everyone who pledges and/or shares the magic :)
Preview snippet of a new project I’m working on that I kept forgetting to post about on my Tumblr. THE MISADVENTURES OF BLACK MAGICAL GIRLS!
Also known as “magnifiqueNOIR” thanks to a good friend helping me come up with a name.
So about a month ago I randomly did some woodburnings of some girls because I didn’t want to work on anything else. Overtime, those girls gained personalities, and back stories, and a plot has been brewing that I’ve been actively pursing so I can turn this into a book series of sorts with art, little comics, and things like that. So far I have three books planned that explore these girls, their relationships, and what it means to be magical.
I’ll post more things as they develop, but for now, I hope everyone enjoys what I have so far :)

“As a customer, I think that it’s wrong for artists to price their art by time spent. We shouldn’t get penalized cause it’s our money!!”
I need to lay down h o ly shit
People are stupid
I would say this sounds made up, except I have had people say similar things to me. I’m just like, “Then go over to the {$priced-way-too-low$) commission person over there,” to which they reply, “But I don’t want a commission from them, I want a commission from you.”
Well tough shit, buddy. Pay up or shut up.
The fact that they think it’s some sort of penalty tax instead of paying for an item they want and the time it takes to create said item after spending years developing the skills to create said item and needing money to pay bills and have a place to live and food to eat so you can sustain yourself while creating said item… like… not sure if they missed the memo, but art is a job just like every other job and if every other person in every other job can be paid by time spent, so can artists. When people look for jobs they look for things they’re qualified in AND FOR THINGS THAT WILL PAY THEM FOR THEIR TIME IN A WAY THEY CAN LIVE OFF OF! If they aren’t paid enough, they look elsewhere, or even protest how unfair it is. So no, it’s not a penalty, it’s an income-based career just like every other career out there. I’m sure you want to be paid for your time, too, when you get out of bed and go to work, so don’t you dare come at artists with that ass-backwards logic.
Steven Universe woodburnings/paintings that I just finished today :)
One time I got two orders for full tarot decks based on the set seen in Persona 3 and 4 and I finally finished both of them!!! 26 woodburned cards per set, making 52 cards! Holy arcana chance, Batman! The set includes new cards seen in Persona 4 Golden and everything :)
I do take commissions on them that you can check out here :) Now excuse me while I cry over my “omg I finished two huge commissions finally” moment <3 <3 <3
