In an effort to build a space for queer people like myself, every Tuesday I’ll be posting opinion pieces, listicals, reviews, and more focused on the LGBT community (and occasionally about the Latinx/WOC community since I am Latinx.) Welcome to Queerly Not Straight! Enjoy and leave a comment below if you have a suggestion for what I should cover next.
Spirals are the best. Whether it be on Twitter, Tumblr, or Reddit, a good spiral leads you down a road of discovery that you never even knew you needed in your life. One of my most recent spirals involves all the lovely artists and art in this post. Through the hashtag #VisibleWomen to #LatinxCreate, I discovered artists who were Latinx like me. Better yet, quite a few of them were queer as well!
My challenge for you is to go through this list of talented AF Latinx artists and not fall in love with their work. So, go ahead. Jump in and discover characters we are familiar with and worlds born out of the imagination of these Latinx artists. Follow, like, and check out their websites, be it Patreon or Redbubble. We’re here to support Latinx artists!
