Juni Ba

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

You can’t do Senegalese inspired stuff without Bouki the Hyena. So here’s an attempt

Thank you very much!

The Fables of Erlking Wood by @juniba.bsky.social and @adityab.net is a deep, fully realized mythological fantasy that finds importance and power in the shape of folklore. It spans centuries and takes you through every emotion while intersecting multiple narrative throughlines. (cont'd) 🧵

Well I hope to get it to you soon!

Refraining the urge to just share every page of this pitch

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Did some color tests on the pitch pages so hum… preview!

Started sending pitches for the next project. Here’s some of the characters hopefully in your hands some day

Rencontre avec Juni Ba, l'homme qui naviguait entre dystopie anticapitaliste ("Monkey Meat"), récits de super-héros ("Robin: The Boy Wonder"), réinvention de classiques européens ("Mobilis" tiré de Verne, "Les Fables du Roi des Aulnes" de Goethe) et fantasy africaine www.lefigaro.fr/bd/super-her...

“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me”

“There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen”

These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

A story on power, both super and political, and how the magnitude of your actions is multiplied with how powerful you are. Your short temper could mean thousands dead. Maybe I’ll end up leaning into that for another thing some day

Needless to say the end result is a lot different from what the Black Panther mini was pitched to be. Some core ideas remain, and these lines. They were intended for a forgotten Black Panther who exiled himself to ensure his fault wouldn’t hurt anyone.

The French version of the Fables of Erlking Wood has been out for a month and the response has been great! We might get even more languages soon, and I’m still riding the high of how it was funded on Kickstarter in less than an hour. Not bad for a retooled Black Panther pitch I never heard back from

Hello I did covers for Twilight Zone!

Brian cox playing both highfather and darkseid in the same film. One can dream

Moon Palace is distributing whistles and zines about how to watch ICE and alert your neighbors (in English, Spanish and Somali).
AND WE'RE RUNNING LOW ON WHISTLES.
I didn't think it was possible after folks in Chicago sent us a couple thousand... but, well, the fascism just keeps on fascism-ing.
