Hullo frenns and welcome new followers, thank you for being here <3

Just wanted to let you guys know I’ve an Etsy Shop where I put on pretty much everything I post on here! Check it out if you’re interested <3

Pssst-- this is now available as both stickers and prints!

He COULD have materialized a perfect copy of the angelic uniform, but nah, he went for a cheap cosplay because what’s life if not a long chance to take the piss out of the enemy 💖✨ inspiring

if anyone is trying to donate to help in Gaza through orgs, these ones were just banned by the Israeli government with no reason given and can no longer operate in Gaza (at least for now).

these are the orgs: Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association, Glia Project, Palestinian American Bridge, PalMed, Baitulmaal, FAJR, Palestinian American Medical Association, Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund

from what i’ve been told by people who have been working in/coordinating aid in Gaza, Palestinian Red Crescent Society, World Central Kitchen, and Anera are unaffected by this order, but everyone has been limited in what they can bring in. while the middle two aren’t medical orgs, they have been bringing in some medicine. PRCS is a red cross affiliate providing medical care.

(not trying to sway anyone’s donations but wanted to put this out there since PCRF has been the org i’ve recommended several people donate to previously.)

Very first sketch of the gremlin

This artwork is now available as prints on my Etsy shop :D

Commish based on @lucelafonde incredible divor--ROCKSTAR AU, 'Before You Go'. Am I a fan of cigs? Nah. Did I VIBRATE WITH EXCITEMENT when she asked me to draw this part of her fic? FUCK YEAH

Oh there’s much, much, much more than just the zine issue here. That’s just current history, really. However, I was one of the artists who’s art has never been included in the zine (Kino ~forgot~ about them and then implied it was on us because they couldn’t find our emails) and one of those who tried to help them putting the file together before they went radio silence for then quietly proceed to delete everything. So yeah, apart from the teeny tiny detail that stealing from a fucking CHARITY is truly disgusting, I do care about this. We were used and deceived MULTIPLE times. On top of that, people paid for a faulty product that never got fixed. We’re not talking about a hundred bucks- it was 1300+ dollars they pocketed and then claimed to have donated. How anyone could gather the sheer audacity to falsely state they’ve donated to a charity more than once is beyond me. I’ll give them that: they got balls.

I know about a couple of amazing people who are putting together a comprehensive doc as we speak- I’m personally impatiently waiting for it. You won’t believe how LONG the misgivings list goes on. The second you think to yourself “well that must be it-“ BAM something else has to be added. Unbelievable.

Kino has blocked me on every social but last time I’ve heard from them, they accused me of harassing them. Note: I commented one of their idyllic IG stories, asking if they ever got the time to ALSO check on the donation issue. So don’t get fooled. With them, asking for accountability will inevitably always be translated to harassing.

don’t support kinodraws

i never do this kind of thing but i’m so incredibly frustrated at this happening and this person still updating their profiles, including the one they have on tumblr, as if nothing happened (save for twitter since it’s one of the few places this is being actively talked about)

don’t support @kinodraws​ if you don’t want someone with a long history of scamming people to pocket your money!

to summarize this current situation:

they organized an ofmd zine, releasing a copy with missing/wrong credits, missing artists etc while the earnings of this zine were promised to go to charity. the charity has now confirmed there was no donation made on the date or amount they claimed to have made, kino has deleted all of the zine’s profiles and pages, fabricated having donated $1300+ to the charity (we have no receipts of how much the zine actually made so this amount is possibly made up as well) and after promising to fix the zine itself is now ignoring the situation completely

the current situation is better told by people involved and i’ll include a couple threads

here

here

here’s the charity’s response about the donation

they also have a page on artists beware here regarding a past commission scam

it appears they’ve done this in multiple fandoms with multiple names before so i doubt they’ll stop as long as they keep getting away with this

all this said don’t go harrass kino or be an idiot, i wanted to make this post bc stealing, lying about it and expecting to let the situation die down as they move on is something i don’t want to happen again since it seems like that’s happened one too many times already. if you want to work with kino or commission them, please reconsider!

we don't know how to pray

my entry for the lovely @inventinglove zine!
