At nearly seven feet tall, this “poem-picture” greets you as you turn the corner to Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon.

This work portrays a friend of Oscar yi Hou’s, a queer Filipino American, whose recent citizenship is implied through the shadow the subject casts against the backdrop of the American flag. The text on the red stripes appropriates the welcome letter that the subject received from the U.S. president upon naturalization. By replacing the word “America” with “Empire,” the painting alludes to the history of American imperialism and ‘nation-building’ in transpacific regions, which has impacted the sitter’s country of birth.

The family that 🍂leaves🍂 together, stays together. Every autumn, we get overwhelmed with fallen leaves. I wondered if making it fun in a drawing would make it fun in real life. (It didn't 🥲) Yardwork isn't my favorite thing to do, but I do like how meditative it can be and how it always makes me feel more connected to nature. If only the ticks and mosquitos would stop trying to connect...🥴 I hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays. (Please don’t repost or edit my art. Reblogs are always appreciated.)

Titles Under Consideration

“For the love of fuck, do NOT burn a jar of Vick’s VapoRub as a candle, VapoRub is for RUBBING, they have separate products to use as wax melts, and for for a humidifier ffs.”

“You have a bruise? Vick’s. A bug bite? Vick’s. A burn? Vick’s. You want to lay a curse on some pota? Vick’s.”

“It’s October, motherfuckers!”

“Happy Filipino American History Month”

“My face when it’s October, and Filipino American History Month and I was considering doing another comic like last time but no ideas came to me until 4 days in about St. Malo, the first Filipino settlement in the U.S set to the lyrics of Bahay Kubo. But now there’s not enough time to do an in-depth mini-comic so now you either let it slide or frantically slap together something because this will haunt you ‘til next Filipino American History Month. (Even though postponing would give you time to deliberately dedicate time to crafting  a full story instead of a sad collection of vague artistic panels where the reader has to piece together a narrative)”

“Fil-Am Kulam”

“Fil-Am Kulam (fuck, that’d make a badass comic title)”

“Fil-Am Kulam (wag mo akong isumpa bhest, i just like tacky word play)”

Hi. This is the first post back. Weird, but amazing at the same time.

"An Exploration of planar forms and wood as a medium", by me, a tired art student.

This piece is directly influenced by Bauhaus furniture designs and Japanese architecture and design concepts that influenced Bauhaus. Specifically of form and function, blurring the lines between artist and artisan, with a focus of purity in design both in medium and execution.

Medium: plywood, nails, wood glue, lightweight concrete, wood veneer, contact cement, wax as finish

Happy #AAPIHeritageMonth! This self-care kit for Asian Americans applies all year round (and maybe even for years to come). The post in this link analyzes how Asian men are being hidden in anti-Asian hate crime data. It’s unbelievable that this is even happening and allowed to continue. This next post analyzes how journalists are part of the problem (including Asian journalists who uphold and defend racist white-controlled platforms/institutions).
