anker & the group have put together a beautiful free zine in support of the queer community in South Sudan, and i've contributed an illustration for it too (below). give it a read, print out the zine to share in person, and consider sending a little direct support the community's way. <3

a black & white mixed media piece. the image is framed by heavily edited, fragmented pieces of a photo taken of a forest. inside the frames is a watercolor painting depicting outwards pointing thorns loosely coiling around the center. at the center is a digitally painted orb in soft diffused shadow.
