I redesigned the american flag

I've been thinking for a while about making a rainbow American flag because the USA is a load of crap right now and could honestly use a redesign so I present to you my "Make America Free Again" flag. Feel free to use it, in fact it would make me really happy if you used it, and feel free to suggest ideas to make it better

here are some possible symbolic interpretations:

rainbow stripes to represent our diversity and freedom to be ourselves, including the queer community but also different races, religions, genders, disabilities, and all identities (except for haters, those don't count). We are so lucky to have a country as diverse as this.

faded gradient in the background to show people breaking free from confines and expectations and that even with all these differences we're all human and we all make this country beautiful.

all 50 stars in a peace symbol to show that even though we are different we can coexist peacefully and that even in the dark we all shine brightly. It's a celebration of all 50 states living in harmony and a hope for a better future.

The black is also symbolic of all the lives and deaths that have built this country. Land, culture, people, and lives we have stolen, things that can never be given back. It's in honor of those who have been wronged and a promise to never forget and never let it happen again. It's a promise to be better, for things to be given back to our people.

This flag represents our endless diversity, our effort for harmony, the pain we'll remember, and the freedom we were promised

I guess you could call this MAFA (make America free again) or DHPF (diversity, harmony, pain, and freedom) or something else idk, rainbow America?

do you guys like my flag? 🥺 If there is anything problematic about it please tell me. I want this flag to be something that people can be proud of.

we are destroyed—

all in front of the world's eyes and ears.

There is no mercy.

Stop the war. Stop the war.

Wanted this to be out earlier but oh well it's not late

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈

Remember you are always loved and accepted by many people! No matter what you are, what you are thinking about yourself, or your situation, always persist as you are human ❤️❤️

[internuut]

These are just a few of the reasons I LOVE the LGBTQIA+ community so much!

It's always important to remember what being a part of a community like this means. For me personally it means home, it means love, friendship and safety but for millions of people across the world right now it's the opposite, with everything going on in the world (especially with the recent rulings in the UK and USA) it's easy to forget that not everyone has a safe space in the world, they're being persecuted and hated for just being themselves!

Remember people, be there, be seen, be careful, be proud but above all be kind!

And on that note, if you need a friend, a place to vent or rant about anything that's going on in your life then my inbox and DMs are open to all who need a friendly face and listening ear.

If your family don't accept you then I'm your family now. Go eat, drink some water, and take your meds!

💜💜

[internuut]

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.

Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

its important to note in the current situation that the protests are becoming an excuse for Trump to challenge one of the big blockades to his dictatorship: States' rights.

See, the US is not really truly one nation. Its a union of 50 different nations, and a few territories! Thats why the name of the country is "United States of America" and not just...America or something idk. Its kinda like the EU; we have individual nations but they also have this mechanism above it where we all elect representatives to, and they vote on things that affect all of the states. Its not a 100% perfect comparison, but the point is, there's serious limitations on the federal government's control over the states it composes.

An example most USians are familiar with is the legal status of marijuana. Most states in the US have some form of legalized marijuana at this point, but the federal government its still fully illegal. This is because theres laws limiting the federal government's ability to regulate drugs, and its ability to enforce that. Its not that States' laws to legalize marijuana make it 100% legal in those states, so much as it is that theres functionally no way for the federal government to reasonably counter these legalization laws without acting illegally.

So why's that a huge problem for Trump? Well, he wants a dictatorship, and California (amongst other blue states) represents a huge obstacle on that road. California is the vast bulk of the country's economy, and in fact, when compared with other nations, California is the fourth largest economy on earth. We're also the most populous, and also one of the most anti-Trump states. If Trump's goal is to ensure republican control over America forever, he cant manage that so long as theres a defiant state, let alone one with enough international pull to actually stand up to him. He needs to crush California's power entirely if he's to get what he wants.

So how does he do that without like, outright declaring war? He uses a prop. He makes the claim that Newsom is somehow too incompetent to do his job controlling the state, and starts taking away California's national guard and federalizing them illegally. Then he deploys them, again illegally, to start marching the streets intimidating and villainizing Californians, labelling us insurrectionists and migrants (which is going to be his excuse for taking away our due process rights, again illegally). Then finally, as he is threatening, he will arrest Gavin Newsom, and find a way to install his own puppet leader.

Simply put: This is a coup. This is an attempt to occupy California with the federal military and overthrow our elected official. Going back to the EU comparison, this is like if the EU decided to use military force to occupy and overthrow the government of Germany.

We’re just ignoring the fact that a cop literally pointed a gun at a 9 News Australia journalist and shot her in the leg with a rubber bullet while she was covering the protests on live television huh?

If they’re willing to do this on live TV to a reporter, then they’re doing worse in the parts you don’t see.

Trump is already acting like he just saved the city of Los Angeles from the horrible violent protestors so I just want everyone to remember that the protests were largely nonviolent and not even particularly large and that the governments of both LA and California were not super concerned about them, and are furious that Trump intervened because it's obvious to everyone in LA that he made it 1000x worse. But because right-wing media is going to take Trump's side and because right-leaning/moderate people already have a negative opinion of California, the narrative is very easily going to shift to "Trump saves the weak little liberals who were afraid to take action!"

Don't fucking let it. Do not shut up about this. Trump illegally sent armed forces into an American city against the local government's will, and by all accounts escalated the violence. Don't let anyone forget it. Don't let them rewrite this.

[internuut]

Just to keep everyone here aware:

Shit's going down in Los Angeles area.

What happened is that there was already protests against the ICE detention facilities, and ICE made the brilliant move of kidnapping the leader of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Protestors started pushing their non-violent actions, with ZERO weaponry, and ICE has begun firing teargas and rubber bullets (which can be fatal). Tonight they are bringing in the NATIONAL GUARD.

Meanwhile, they're stepping up kidnappings and "deportations"--If you dont have your papers and you live in southern california I'd avoid leaving your house. If you're a citizen, keep your papers on you as you leave.

And if you're one of the brave people fighting this gestapo, PLEASE DO SO SAFELY!!! Dont use milk to rinse out teargas or pepper spray, it can cause infections with the bacteria in it!!!! Use water!!!! Tell someone where you're going, but leave your phone at home unless you're there to document. If you are there to document, DONT SHARE PROTESTORS FACES OR IDENTIFYING FEATURES on social media!!!! And for fucks sake, WRITE A LAWYER PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR BODY WITH SHARPIE, trust me, it could save your ass.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
