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.

Thembo @thembo.bsky.social · 8mo ago

The amount of after-the-fact consent manufacturing, shameless regime stenography, and gutless both-sidesing on every single media outlet right now is genuinely worse than 2001-2002. Absolutely pathetic. We have no journalists. We have no opposition party.

The chief International Anchor for CNN is cheering on the unprovoked aggression against Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president. Never let these people lecture you about "democracy" or "international law". The US intelligentsia is a bloodthirsty cohort of criminals.
