Celebrating Art and Black Representation

October 6, 2020 9:10 PM

The twitter hashtag #blacktober is likely to be a month-long pleasure scroll of artistic ability and creative reimaginings of a lot of pop culture characters as being black and not white. It's beautiful and joyous and fun, and it is sure to be the gift that keeps on giving all month long.

I have been LOVING coming across all this amazing art on my Twitter feed. I wish I had an easy way to link to some of my favorite pieces right now, but seeing everyone's amazing creativity has definitely been a bright spot among all the nonsense happening at the same time.

Every now and then one of the artists I follow will repost a tragically hilarious conversation with someone who is not quite... getting it, so to speak, and I wish they didn't need to run into this. I wish they could just live unimpeded and make their awesome work. And get paid for it.

Great fun, thank you for this. Eventually wound my way to the delightful webtoon De Novo.

I'm participating in this and it's motivated me to draw more than anything else has in this hell year.
