Me at Juneteenth 2019 (Vallejo, CA) vs Me @ the Latinx Comics & Arts Fest 2023 (Modesto, CA) . My merch table has changed a lot over the yrs. Today I’m thinking more abt spaciousness, selection, & style when I set up. U can support my shop anytime by clicking the link in my bio. You’ll see what’s new from my shop. One day, I’ll teach a class on this aspect of the hustle/biz.

"But we get trapped in a cycle of pain and addiction,

and lose the motivation to change the conditions,

I blame it on the system but the problem is ours,

its not a question of religion,

its a question of power" -Stic (Dead prez)
