"Atrophy" - I forgot to post my new piece for @nomadastudiobcn 's new game Neva.

If anyone has met me in person to point out my Gris painting, you'll already know how much I fangirl over what Nomada has put out. Such superb work, and they absolutely deserve way more awareness of their existence. ✨️💛✨️

Another ink trading card drawing from a slow event weekend. I've been wanting to make a new painting of my merchant snail rider for awhile, and managed to get some creative vibes flowing again.

Some more ink trading card studies and sketches from a slow event weekend.

It's been a slow event weekend, so I've been filling the time with ink studies on some of my trading card blanks. This one is a study of a piece from Santo Hazarika.

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate

So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool
