Day 14 of my Hair Journal was painting during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI).
I reached out to Professor Wayne Quilliam who specialized in photography of Aboriginal people (who works with the Aboriginal people and gets permission to photograph them) and he gave me permission to reference his photography for my portrait.
https://aboriginal.photography/
For the background, I referenced the traditional Aboriginal Dot Painting.
I always find it so interesting to paint people from all over the world. Though I bet traveling and doing it in person would be far more interesting than from my little Hobbit Hole.
Still... I really enjoyed it.

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, I’ve decided to make a long-post about the white-washing of Minhkhoa Khan aka the Ghost-maker.
To start I want to establish Khoa’s probable(it has not been said is in detail yet) race/ethnic background. Being from Singapore It’s very likely he’s Chinese, Malaysian, or Indian, as those are the most common ethnic groups in Singapore. Khoa’s last name ‘Khan’ is mostly a middle eastern(only in certian parts of the middle east)/east Asian name(I’m sure you can think of one guy in particular with this last name).
Anyway ethnic background aside, it’s been well-established that Ghost-maker is brown.
Here he is in batman v.3 109
batman v.3 106 (ft. bruce for white guy reference)
batman 2021 annual
batman: the knight #4 (again ft bruce for white guy reference)
Point being: he’s not white
So then it’s a little off to get hit with this face reveal in Batman Incorporated #7
Now does he look like a white guy? Not necessarily, he could be a lighter skinned Asian person, but I don’t appreciate the deviation from his earlier depictions as being darker. Colorism is a big deal, especially in Asia right now. Pale skin is seen as much more beautiful than dark skin, and this has led to many people doing things such as skin bleaching to achieve lighter skin tones. With this being the current state of things, it’s so important to have visibility for darker Asian people in media, and for this reason it comes across as a shitty move for dc to white-wash Minhkhoa.
Additionally dc had this alternate cover for batman inc #8, because they’re so good at diversity and totally didn’t just whitewash this guy :)
(btw not saying dc did any of this on purpose/with malicious intent, but rather that regardless of intention this was bad and they should fix it)
tldr: dc white-washed ghost-maker despite him being previously portrayed as much darker-skinned
#ghostmaker#dc#dc comics#batman incorporated#bruce wayne#batman v3#batman the knight#btk#batman#minhkhoa khan#ghost-maker#ghost maker#colorism#tw: skin bleaching mention#aapiheritagemonth#aapi#this has been on my mind for a while and I hadn't seen anyone lay it out clearly yet so here we are

Happy AAPI heritage month! I’m a proud queer, Korean-American transgirl 🇰🇷 and I’m so happy to see so many amazing AAPI artists thriving in recent years. As with everything, It’s never a lack of talent but rather opportunity, access and resources. Wishing more happiness, joy and success for all my AAPI family 💜

Wind down sleepytime sketches of Nomura, Mary, and Cayden, who are dressed in traditional clothing from their respective cultures and are ready to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
Nomura (Japanese) is dressed in a kimono.
Mary (Chinese) is dressed in a qipao.
Cayden (Vietnamese) is dressed in an ao dai that's actually a bit short for them. (Their dad got them one in the men's design after they came out to him.)

With its bronze, intricate decorative elements, surely a Happy Meal in the Shang Dynasty couldn’t be on the value menu.
In Mai Dang Lao (McDonald’s), a hamburger box, fries container, fork, and knife are cast in bronze and adorned with traditional Chinese motifs like the taotie mask, typically featured on ancient ritual bronze vessels used in worship of the ancestors.
Here it is combined with the iconic logo of the fast-food giant, transforming the “Happy Meal” into a Shang-dynasty artifact. The Asian American artist Zhang Hongtu, a leader of the “Political Pop” movement in contemporary Chinese art, lives in Queens, New York, after emigrating from China in the 1980s. By creatively juxtaposing ancient China with contemporary America, and ritual art with consumer culture, Zhang whimsically critiques systems of power.

And So April is come and gone.
Now on Begins the 1st day of May. With that being said this this new month brings the 8 brings the Asian culture and Pacific islander culture To become more aware than ever before with recent events of having a lot of Asian Hate.
Now is the time to be able to put a stop to all this. More than ever to learn more about Asian and Pacific islander culture and to continue that for many generations to come to learn of their beautiful and wonderful diversity of their way of life.
May is the month all of the Asian communities and Pacific islander communities and their stories to be told from now till the end of May and even then. Tell them all year long like every other Culture and Race, and Religion.
One Month does not hold us to tell Everyone's Stories. But It means alot to Represent Every Culture For the Month They are Given.
Representation Matters.
Divisterity Matters
And more Importantly.
STOP ASIAN HATE.
We are all part of one World 🌎
But we all can't be Happy if we can't learn to Love one another.
That goes for everyone and anyone.
Tell your family, your friends, and etc.
Half of my Good friends are Asian. They have been part of my life for a long time and I don't plan on having that being torn apart because of Ignorance.
Support Their People and Learn all you can about The Way Of Asia 🌏 and The Way Of Pacific Islands 🏝
THIS IS AAPI MONTH
THIS IS ASIAN AMERICAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH 🌏👲🇨🇳🎎🏝🌺🇭🇰🇯🇵🏣💴⛩🈷️🍡🏯🇮🇳🍛🌊🐚🗿🌴 #AAPI #AsianAmericanPacificIslander #AAPIHertiageMonth #stopasianshate
