So I haven’t updated my work in forever because surprise! I have severe tendinitis spanning from my fingers all the way up to my shoulder that still hasn’t healed since last year. I finally was able to see a doctor last week and am working on treatment now.

Thanks to all the new followers and reblogs, your support is awesome. :> I hope to heal fast and get back to work again in the next few months.

Kali Ciesemier: TAXES FOR FREELANCERS, 101:

kalidraws:

In the past, I’ve gotten some questions about the business of illustration & about how taxes work. Filing taxes is a bummer, but it sucks even more when you have no idea what you’re doing. After progressing from Completely Clueless to Somewhat Experienced* during the past 5 years of doing my…

Given the lack of PoC in current Disney films and of course in the upcoming feature Frozen. I decided to create a little project if everyone is willing to participate.

I want to re-take Frozen and draw our very own “concept art” with PoC as protagonists. This can…

Dear Tumblr,

My arm/hand has been healing up, but my skills have become rusty from the healing period with no practice.

To get back into the swing of things, I’m starting a new series/project, and I need your help.

I want you to submit to my ask box a really interesting word.

Like a really freaking cool word.

It can be a word not commonly used, a very complex word in its meaning, an ambiguous word, an old word, etc.

I’d like to keep the project indefinite, but to start I will pick the 10 most interesting words I receive. Then I will create illustrations to go with the word based on ~~some cracked out sleep-deprived vision~~ the feelings or inspiration the word/definition gives me.

Submit however many you’d like. I invite fellow artists to join, the more the merrier~
