MOJUICY

I worked with The Icarus Project earlier this year on their Mad Maps project and was really happy to create images of people of color in this conversation on self help and mental health.

"Mad Maps are documents that we create for ourselves as reminders of our goals, what is important to us, our personal signs of struggle, and our strategies for self-determined well-being.

Along the way we’ve learned that our communities are impacted by societal systems in different ways, and that these differences affect our mental health. Our guides approach important issues such as oppression and intergenerational trauma and invite you to join others in crafting solutions that help transform the health of our communities.This guide will help you make your own Mad Map. Drawing from the input of hundreds of members of the Icarus Project community, it will take you step by step through the process of creating your own wellness documents. "

The Mojuicy Mail Art Club (Mojuicy MAC). Quarterly packages featuring original artwork celebrating the lives of queer people of color.

June 23rd, 2015

Fam!! Today’s the day!! I’m launching Mojuicy MAC today, a subscription based art club designed to get my art off the internet and into the real world it’s inspired by. If you aren’t familiar with my work, I’m a queer Muslim illustrator who is really intent on illuminating the lives of queer people of color in all of our realities.

So why Mojuicy MAC? I know a ton of young Black and brown creatives I would love to support more regularly, but being a patron of the arts often feels like an unrealistic luxury. How can we sustainably support artists making work that we love and vibe with? My artwork lends itself to real world interaction, and I want to be available beyond just art prints. As a result, I am launching the Mojuicy Mail Art Club this month to fill a gap in sustainable participation with art. Being able to send cards to our friends and lovers reflecting the world that we know is key to our survival.

With a Mojuicy MAC subscription, you get first access to original artwork delivered in three curated packages through the rest of 2015. See queer people of color honestly depicted in the way that we live and love and  chill out, all in bite-sized, shareable goodies.

What do I get in a package? Feel summertime fine with some Mojuicy favorites printed onto buttons, postcards, stickers, temporary tattoos, a matchbook, and a signed limited edition print in the first of three packages to be delivered in 2015. Expect thematic and holiday packages later in the year, with an option for surprise apparel throughout the year!
