I looked at the notes for your Kida/Poca pic for less than a minute and saw tons of gross comments (homophobic/racist) and I hope you're ok! I hope you get twice and more (so much more) of nice comments! Your art is amazing!

Awwwww thank you for checking in on me! 💛 I have had much more controversial pieces of art go viral in the past so I’ve learned to have thick skin and am dealing with them okay. Some of the sillier homophobic comments have even been really funny to me and my friends, and I’m getting lots more loving and supportive comments that really make my day 😃

Everyone was asking about Kida, so here she is with bonus Pocahontas

I know this is supposed to be a lovely picture of friendship between the two of them, but all I can help thinking about is the fact that these two are now bound together, and when ever one gets an order, the other must follow it as well.

Marriage equality is only the first step - we still have housing and hiring discrimination to eradicate, bullying, violence, hate speech…we’re only a year and a half past Pulse and hate crimes against lgbtq individuals have only been on the rise. We can’t stop fighting the good fight, for ourselves and the ones we love.

I am working on setting up an online store in the next month or so and it will include all of my Disney Resists prints! 10% of everything in my shop will go to the ACLU and other civil rights groups putting in the time this past year 💛

My favorite Mulan is genderqueer Mulan and my favorite Shang is bisexual Shang. And if you want to contest those interpretations I know there isn’t any canonical evidence but it’s the closest thing us gays have (in the animated Disney universe) and if you want to take it away you’re probably just mean.

Anyway, this is the end of the Disney Resists series! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed creating it - keep an eye out for my shop! I have a lot going on this year and I’m hoping to get it all started within the next month. Now I’m gonna go drink some wine and cuddle with my girlfriend and watch some super gay tv 💛💙💛💙💛

“White supremacy is the conscious or unconscious belief or the investment in the inherent superiority of some, while others are believed to be innately inferior. And it doesn’t demand the individual participation of the singular bigot. It is a machine operating in perpetuity, because it doesn’t demand that somebody be in place driving.” -Michael Eric Dyson

There should never be a situation where my life is more valuable than my girlfriend’s, or my mother’s is more important than my future mother-in-law’s. That is the moment, whether with the police or judicial system or housing or hiring, when white lives matter too much. ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

I disagree with this. Every life matters as much as the next.

That’s the whole point of the BLM movement. I see that you’re German so maybe it’s not your fault that you don’t understand US racial dynamics or police brutality or hiring and housing discrmination, but if that’s the case you shouldn’t really be commenting on them.

I understand that Black lives matter is trying to put the spotlight on the injustice towards black people in the American society, but all lives matter equally. Obviously white supremacy is an issue but putting black lives matter/white lives matter too much on shirts, even if it is just on an illustration, is giving them fuel to fight you back into submission. Take power away from them, instead of handing it back all the time with easily misunderstood slogans

Here’s an idea: a slogan that is meant to express anger against injustice and provide an outlet for centuries of frustration, not necessarily placate those in power. The very term “white supremacy” is inherently admitting that white lives are valued higher than others, which means they are valued TOO HIGHLY. If someone is more offended by my drawing putting this concept into words than the death and incarceration of innocent black men and women, I already don’t care about having a conversation with this individual, I care about putting my votes and protests to work making sure they never have political power moving forward 🤷‍♀️ 

Black Lives Matter is a very simple concept. White people took over continents and stole islands and killed communities and enslaved races for hundreds of years, they can pull up their big boy pants and figure out how to live with three little words for a few decades while the rest of us try and clean up the mess left behind.

At least eight islands in the Pacific have already disappeared because of rising sea levels. Over the next century many communities, including my family, will be displaced and lose their ancestral lands and foundation of their cultural practices. Trump removing the US from the Paris Agreement, taking climate change off the National Security Strategy, and repealing the Clean Power Plan is a slap in the face and to me, intensely personal. PLEASE contact your representatives regarding climate change and taking steps to counteract the potentially irreversible harm Trump is doing to our planet.

This is an issue very close to my heart guys - my family and our descendants are almost guaranteed to lose our islands and the current administration just doesn’t care.

Trump is back at it with a third version of his backwards, hateful Muslim ban. Please learn more about the terms of this indefinite ban here and from other credible news sources, and consider donating to the ACLU! Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar until December 31st ✨

Speaking of which, I am working on setting up a store by the beginning of the upcoming year and it will include all of my Disney Resists prints! 10% of everything in my shop will go to the ACLU and other civil rights groups putting in the time this year 🖤

It’s been a hard year. We have another three ahead of us and we can’t get tired or discouraged. Time to put in the work, for ourselves and for everyone suffering under the current administration.

First in a series! More to come later this week 🖤

Hey guys!! After literally years I’m back to making art. I’ve had this series in the works for months now but finally got around to wrapping it up. It’ll be five in all and I’m going to have prints of them available very soon - most likely I will be donating a percentage of the proceeds to the ACLU and other organizations fighting the racist, sexist, warmongering Trump administration. 

I’m migrating all my work over to a blog devoted just to art (heyangilmau above), but I’ve missed posting and interacting on here!! If we used to talk please drop me a message, I’m always available 🙂

hey pasifika friends

I’m a Palauan illustrator and comic artist looking to make a series of short comics based on legends and traditional stories from the Pacific. Not something I’d be physically publishing or profiting off of, just a personal project I’d like to see come to life. I’m perfectly capable of doing the research myself but would prefer to make it more of a community project 🖤 SO if you have roots in the Pacific and have a favorite tale you’d like to see in a 10-20 page comic format, please please please message me!! I’d love to hear from as many voices and cultures as possible!
