A green, art-nouveau style graphic with purple, yellow, and rainbow accents that reads: Colours of the Gate Vol. 2. Cobalt Cactus. she/her. Colours Volume 2 is my third zine and I'm really excited to be working alongside so many other talented writers and artists!

A green, art-nouveau style graphic with purple, yellow, and rainbow accents that reads: Colours of the Gate Vol. 2. BexDrawz. they/them & he/him.Hi! My name is Bex Di Angelo I am a disabled nonbinary artist! I work digitally creating colorful art that's inspired by lots of fun textures. I'm so so excited to work with other talented artists on this project. Queer art and Queer media are both so important to me. Astarion's story helped me move through my own trauma as an Abuse Survivor. It's one of the only video games I've ever completed. I love how casually queer bg3 is. Queerness is everywhere, in all forms. Casually, there's no awkwardness about it, just queerness. I love that so much. tumblr/bsky/IG: BexDrawz. Artist.
