I am afraid

I try to keep my political feelings out of everything. But art is emotional to me and I tend to draw how I feel. Right now I’m afraid as a woman, bisexual and half hispanic. 

But I’m afraid. I’m afraid of already hate filled people feeling it’s okay to abuse women again because a man like Trump did and gets away with it. I’m also afraid for my LGBTQ+ friends and those that recently got married. 

I’m afraid of men harassing women because Trump gets away with it. And then threatening our lives when we say no, say something they don’t agree with, or forget to smile when they say “smile” to us. 

I’m afraid of my hispanic friends and family being harassed even though their family have been in the US for generations. 

I’m afraid of so many things and afraid for so many people’s futures.

So this is what I ended up drawing. It might not help me get more Patrons, but this fear is me right now.  

Promise to get back to happy, pretty artwork.
