screenshots of a cartoon called supa team 4 based in Lusaka, Zambia. aesthetically very solarpunk don't you think?
we got the classic tree-in-buildings! (only really doable in theory because where would the roots go?) we have many trees and colourful buildings!
this is the school shown from above
bonus hoverboarding from one of the protagonists
anyways go watch it i guess; s2 just came out on netflix and it's 4 schoolgirls doing superhero-type stuff!

Tola is the moment!!
Have you all seen Iwájú? It's pretty good, and I hope it gets another season to properly explore the advancement of technology in Lagos and fixing the classism that takes place throughout the series.

more art for my upcoming book. COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS is half cookbook, half guide to intuitive cooking, with family recipes ranging from the Navajo nation to Brazil, from Cambodia to Yemen and beyond, beyond~
this is for postcards (& some very limited run posters!) that will come with orders of the book. tried hard to sum up what the book is about and I think I got it.... happy with this one.
image description below the cut~
(see more things from me via my newsletter, patreon, insta & twitter)
IMAGE DESCRIPTION: an illustration of two people donned in white, vaguely west african traditional dress. one is young and light skinned, the other older and dark skinned, though they are clearly relatives. they gaze into one another’s eyes while standing in a bluish starlit cosmic landscape. their hands hold up a massive wooden spoon holding the planet earth, and reach toward one another’s. gold bordered boxes flank their sides. they contain hands in movement, ginger, tamarind, garlic, curry leaves, flames and other ingredients. below their feet in gold text reads: COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS by mariah-rose marie

Art and character belong to me. Do not copy or reupload.

Here’s former US President Barack Obama in a tan suit. I drew this as part of a larger project for Learning A-Z.
You might remember that there was a brief, silly controversy about President Obama wearing this tan suit because on a slow news day some people thought it did not look presidential. Originally, this illustration had him in a black suit, but the client was concerned that the project…

Here is a Serval family in a new style I'm exploring.
Been working on this piece for a while, trying to find and develop my own style.

I come from a long line of people who raised hogs, smoked them in the earth as technique inherited from indigenous kin (who - more broadly - introduced the west to the method: more on that here!) and seasoned them beautifully.
so pork specifically meant a lot to my family... but it is also undeniably tied to hereditary health problems...
so here's a story on how we departed from that, what tradition even is, and what it means to me now ft the humble black eyed pea, for EATER!
