like, I started off making furry art but removed aspects of my blackness because I wanted to make that part of myself invisible. but when I was encouraged to embrace it and celebrate it openly I noticed people became a lot more drawn to my art + my art improving in real time!

my art incorporates a LOT of my blackness intertwined with furry and sometimes I ask myself: is this "toooooo black?" but then I'm reminded there's no such thing!
I'm glad my art sticks out so much to ppl
