There’s so much I like about Bas’ work. His artquirky instagram is @hernanbas. There’s an Artspace interviewandLehmann Maupin has an online gallery with a ot of his work, including his A Queer and Curious Cabinet installation from 2013.
I am thrilled to announce that my short comic HEARTSONG has been published in the Santa Fe Writers Project’s quarterly issue, no. 25! This issue was made by and edited by LGBTQ+ writers, and is created around the theme of unmaking and remaking. If that sounds like your kinda thing, take a look at the pieces featured! :)

“I thought about what ‘It Gets Better’ would mean to me and how I’d represent it visually. I realize that for me it’s about growth, about blooming into the best version of yourself.” – Artist Alex Tagali
And that’s on growth
The SPRING MERCH DROP is here, featuring the cutest representations of growth, change, and blossoming into your true self. Snag a sticker, tote, or mini enamel pin designed by Alex Tagali at itgetsbetter.org/shop.
I thought I’d post this here as well just for those following me on this platform!
I have recently been given the opportunity to create a graphic novel series, with the first book set to be published in 2023 by IDW, for an original story that I’ve been developing for a while now with my collaborative partner AJ O. Mason.
KLOUD 9 is a queer space opera focusing on two Asian leads, and surrounded by a BIPOC cast of characters. This story is so special to me, and fills me with so much joy to be working on it. I’m so thankful for the comics medium, because through them, I think many creators have been able to carve space for characters and stories of all types, especially within the sci-fi genre that I feel is lacking in television and film.
If anyone’s interested, I’ll continue to keep updating on this project here (and progress on KLOUD 9 can also be tracked on my other social media platforms!)
I posted about the mess I’ve been making of my bathtub doing some abstract paintings on plastic paper over on my patr3on (LaurelLynnLeake) - supporters can follow the source link to see more weird textures and learn how I made them!
