“OUT IN JAPAN is a project aimed at shining the spotlight on sexual minorities in Japan — with various acclaimed photographers taking portraits of LGBT – identified individuals from all walks of life — with the goal of showcasing 10,000 portraits in the next five years.
The project aims to familiarize the Japanese public with the presence of sexual minorities and to share accurate information and knowledge of the LGBT community.
For sexual minorities, “coming out” is a step-by-step process, and timing and how it’s done is unique to each individual’s circumstances. There are many who decide not to come out. At “OUT IN JAPAN”, we work towards building an inclusive and accepting society that will support those who are willing to come out.”
I’ve been doing OCtober instead of inktober–basically where I draw a new OC every day of October! This was from last night: an Iranian American mom and her kids returning from the mosque, based on stuff I see when I frequent the masjid near me. More illustrative than a character-design related work, but an original character is an original character nevertheless!
my splatoon oc Static!!! theyre a sanitized octoling that managed to survive after the events of the expansion
theyre naturally very curious, and retained no memories of their former self. theyre called static due to their voice usually sounding like jumbled radio static.
static is currently being watched by the agents, mainly agent 3
