June Gloom, June Illume ✨ playing with scale more, I was getting bored of the characters always being the same size, but does it make them unequal? I feel like the compromise is one person has a close up but no body while the other is smaller but gets the whole body in the shot—but what are your thoughts?

Ama (she/her) — our June Gemini says: hi everyone!! 💖💖I’m Ama and I was born in the bx, raised in queens, lived in the whitest state in america (maine) for college, and now live in LA where i work in ~ awards and educational programming ~ im also a first gen ghanaian-american and q***r. some interests of mine include writing/baking/taking photos & videos/pottery/music/walking/scrolling wikipedia/being basic. im a gemini sun, pisces rising, leo moon...so basically ✨a mess ✨ 💖💖 (from Kesh: Ama also spends time volunteering with which we love, go check them out!)

Triet (he/him) — from our June Cancer: Hi, I’m Triet /🌲-et/ and I’m a proud gay boy currently working in Saigon Vietnam in video games as a producer. Having lived in CA and internationally has blessed me with LGBTQIA+ friends from many backgrounds. You’ll probably see me doing trivia with few of them at any given free moment ✨Living outside of the US has also taught me to be a supporter of organizations that fight for LGBT rights in countries that have yet to decriminalize LGBTs. Feel free to DM me if you wish to chat more about this 💕 (from Kesh: triet wont promote himself like this but he’s an incredible Theme park designer that worked at Disney and Universal until his school visa expired, he was set for a job but they opted for someone else rather than pay a little extra to give him a work visa and THATS BS!! So if you have the connects at imagineering hmu, dm Triet, cause this man should be designing castles right now!!)

Side note my life is really picking up right now (thank god, tbh) so these likely won’t be coming in on the intended month but I appreciate your patience and support for this little series of hyping up my friends🥰

Space cookies!!! 🍪 I’m so happy it’s summer, the weather has been perfect and idk about you but May has been so refreshing and relaxing for me😌 perfect time for baking with friends, like our May babes:

Ronnie (they/them) .ronnie - our May Ta**us says: I'm a first gen Chinese American nonbinary q***r kid born and raised in California currently working as a Digital Strategist. In my free time you'll find me bouncing between different arts and crafts, netflixing in my underwear, thinking about snacks, boba and how to bridge my q***r Asian identity, and trying to become rich in my virtual cat cafe game. I’m the digital Strategist at and feeling happy to work there in a place that supports and fosters the leadership and power of trans and q***r youth. I was once a youth in their programs and it's so great that I'm able to now be there as a staff to continue to provide support to the next generation of q***r kids.

Nina (she/her) - from our May Gemini: I’m Bisexual Black Woman™️. I work in the music industry so a lot of my free time surrounds music (concerts, festivals, buying vinyl, creating killer playlists). Outside of that, I love hiking and camping, eating, and letting the people know about environmentalism and sustainability 🌱

February Fems!! 💞 anyone who’s been in the same room as Yael and Lynn knows that some spicy, rapid fire, political, potentially-hard-to-follow discourse is happening right here, I’m just drawing real life this month😅
Yael - our February Aquarius, is a bisexual, Sephardi Jewish, nonbinary woman who is one of the co-hosts the leftist political economy podcast, Chop Shop Economics. You'll usually find them buried in one book or another about leftist theory, history, economics, philosophy, mysticism, and Judaism. She hopes to write more this year of 2022, and get more into the project of journalism advocating for the worker class's liberation.
You can listen to Chop Shop on Spotify, Apple podcasts, and SoundCloud and follow them on Twitter at

Lynn - our February Pisces (and my best friend and roommate) is a q***r Chinese opera singer, rock climber, & founder of Duly Magazine (), a radical publication covering the Asian diaspora. She’s known for her past environmental journalism and unique ability to become a meme on a new platform every two years because she’s hilarious. (Both of these folks have quite a way with words) She is currently studying the role of Adele for a May production of Die Fledermaus on the Broad Stage.
You can purchase the first copy of Duly mag at dulymag.com and follow them on all platforms for updates on the next issue. You can follow Lynn directly for updates on her Opera performances!

Happy New Year!! 🥰🎉 and welcome to my new series: the Q***r Zodiac Calendar. At the beginning of every month, I will post a new illustration featuring two real q***r folk from each zodiac sign of that month—this month we have my friend Andrea and me!
Andrea, .chameleon our January Capricorn, is a bisexual, Chicana, US-based artist and writer—she writes about sociocultural experiences & travel in her blog, Cultural Chameleon: culturalchameleon.co.uk (link in her bio), as well as creates videos for Tik Tok under the same moniker. In 2022, she hopes to start production of her first short documentary!
If you don’t know me, I’m Keshet! I’m a bisexual, genderq***r, disabled, Ashkenazi Jewish artist and animator—currently an aspiring storyboard artist, I’ve worked in 2D TV animation as well as graphic design/motion graphics for the music industry and social justice organizations. I’ve been working in eating disorder prevention in various ways for 10 years and always look for ways to include all body shapes, sizes, colors, textures, etc in my art, so you can expect the same from this calendar! Right now I’m spending most of my time on my storyboard portfolio as I’m deep in the job hunting game, but sometimes I contribute to this cool magazine PEWM and work on my own projects like this calendar and my upcoming comic books! You can keep up with my illustrations here, check out the rest of my work on my website theKeshet.com (link in my bio), and DM me for my resume cause did I mention I’m looking for work? 🥰

Got my first originals! 😍 Teryn is soooo talented, if you’re looking for some clean black line tattoos like this vintage clock or abstract swirly triangle this holiday, she’s your gal. In our art classes she was always the queen of incomprehensible detail❤️ (ft. A NEDA tattoo I got from shop owner a billion years ago when they were still an apprentice 🥺 and a newly touched up “no, thank you” from I got a couple years ago) ***rtattooartist ***rbusiness

GOURD-CATS!!! Happy Halloween and happy fall!! 🎃🍂 A while ago I was looking at my cat and thought, “you know, you look like a squash” and thus, gourdcats were born. Swipe for some close-ups! I might make breadcats, what other types of food do you compare your cat to?
