This was a preliminary imagining of Kofi’s mum who appears as a guide. My goal here was to use brushes that I was unfamiliar with in order to get away from my usual routines. She went through many changes, ultimately appearing younger and without her headwrap in later scenes.

All this week it really felt like Fall with cool days and even cooler nights. Then this weekend everyone will revert back to shorts and Birkenstocks. Coaxing Fall along with an old mashup of knits, naturals & necks…of the turtle kind. #vgdraws #veliciagourdin #blackwomanillustrator #procreate

Tristan Snell @tristansnellBREAKING: Tommy Tuberville is NOT an Alabama resident.05:59 AM - Aug 11, 2023
Tuberville lives in Florida, actually.
He does not own any property in Alabama.
Just like Josh Hawley lives in Virginia not Missouri. And Mark Meadows faked a residence in North Carolina.
Liars and cheaters, all of them

The point of this is to demean, deny, n disrespect a woman’s right to choose. I don’t make little babies anymore but I sure as hell support my daughters’ rights to CHOOSE.
If you haven’t realized the importance of your voice by now, I hope that this will unlock your jaw. And your vote.
