A grid of six illustrations. First, a trans woman in traditional Jewish clothing does embroidery outside. Second, a Korean couple kisses, with the one in men's clothing showing in the mirror as her true transfemme self. Third, a Polish gay couple wear traditional clothing, one of which is transmasc. Fourth, a transmasc person with his chest bound in cloth gets a hand-poked tattoo on a sailing ship. Fifth, a T4T Victorian couple share a kiss on the nose as they find euphoria in swapping their clothing. And lastly, a transmasc person sews his own clothing, reclaiming the traditionally feminine craft for himself.
🏳️⚧️ Trans joy and resilience is more important than ever. Here’s a glimpse into a few of the historical illustrations of trans people thriving, loving, and being loved in our queer history art book! 🏳️⚧️

Searching for any illustrators comfortable with designing the cover of a gothic horror novella.
As much as I enjoy drawing my own covers, I would love to pay some commission money forward for an upcoming project!

Absolutely no AI.
Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work!
Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪

The cover of Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. It shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face.

The Scottish Comics itch.io Bundle is open for submissions! MORE INFO BELOW
Are you a comic creator living in Scotland? Submit your comic to be part of the Scottish Comics Itch Bundle! How does it work? All the comics will be part of a big downloadable bundle for sale on itch.io. 25% of profits will be given to PCRF or another charity supporting Palestine. The remaining profits will be split equally between all participants. Your cut is sent to your account automatically; it doesn't come through the organisers at all. Who can take part? Any comic creators who live in Scotland! If you live in Scotland but you aren't Scottish, you can still take part. If you are Scottish but you don't live in Scotland, you can't take part. What should I submit? Submit your favourite comic that you've done! You can only submit one comic. Please do not submit text-only zines.
Is this bundle curated? This bundle is only lightly curated, which means we're checking for racist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, or otherwise hateful content. We want to celebrate as many comic creators in Scotland as we can, so this bundle is not otherwise curated and your submission will only be rejected if the file quality is unusually low. What is the timeline? Submissions are open until March 31st. If your comic is approved, you will hear back by April 30th. The bundle will go live in June! I have another question. This bundle is organised by Letty, Pj, and Eve. Email us or reply to this post (no DMs please!).
We're already getting some v exciting submissions! Make sure and submit your comic, Scottish creators!
👀 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 👀
This bundle is organised by myself, @evegwood.com and @peejalien.bsky.social !
