Hello! I'm Zakura, I am a very artsy person and I have a creative mind. I love to draw, write and perform and am just really into arts. When I'm doing none of those I like to listen to music or read. C:
CALLING ALL GAYBIES CALLING ALL GAYBIES: Have you ever wanted to be apart of a really great art project that’s just like, SUPER gay, and SUPER great, and all about YOU? For the next 7-8 weeks, I will be creating what I hope to be an homage to our beautiful and ever growing LGBTQ community.
For the past 3 months I’ve been in Brighton, I’ve met the most amazing people from the queer community who have shared such interesting stories with me that I felt like there should be a nice way to let their stories be heard. Of course, the LGBTQ community extends FAR beyond the southern coast of England, so I want to reach out to everyone who identifies as LGBTQ on an INTERNATIONAL level.
SO HERE’S MY PROPOSAL: I’d like to get as many people and as many stories as I can. I will be featuring you (illustrated) and your story in a handmade book, along with any photos or memorabilia you’d like to submit. Alongside the book, I will be creating a large flag, consisting of hand-stitched (most likely hand-stitched- we’ll see how well I can manage my time) portraits of everyone who would like to be apart of the project. Now if you don’t have any stories or items to submit, that’s fine. But it would be really awesome to hear from you! I’m looking for stories that range from how you came out, difficulties you struggle/have struggled, what being queer means to you, etc. etc. Stories don’t have to be long at all! They can be a simple statement (example: I’M REALLY GAY.), to as many paragraphs as you’d like (example: I’M SO GAY. I’M THE GAYEST THING. MY MOM DOESN’T KNOW. BUT I KNOW I AND I THINK I’M FABULOUS. etc. etc). I think the more varied the submissions are the more interesting the book will be. But hey, the whole purpose of this project is to let your voice be heard. There is no better time in our generation than NOW to EXPELL OUR BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL GAY PRIDE.
Other details: The book will be hardcover, and I’m not entirely sure if I’ll be making more- again, depends on how well I can manage my time. BUT- if I make copies or zines, I will definitely let you all know. So YES- time is of the essence! If you could please submit as soon as possible, like within the next 3-4 weeks (by the latest, 14 April), that would be FABULOUS. If you need an extension just let me know. I love you all, and I believe the world deserves to hear your story. I want this project to be OVERFLOWING with gay pride so be PROUD AND be LOUD AND LET’S HEAR YA OUT!
And please spread this message to anyone else you think would be interested!! Thanks yall!
Please feel free to message me about any questions and of course your submissions on my tumblr, or contact me on Facebook, or shoot me an email at lzobott@mcad.edu.

What lies below, the deep, rigid core of the earth
A hell? A Purgatory? A Heaven?
Bloods filled with evil
Vanity rains over
Showers us in possibilites
As we grow older
The stars are what we counted on
As we fall asleep
I reach to pick one up
In my soft palm tonight
I hold it close, make a wish and kiss it
Throwing it away
Goodnight my little angel
Be safe
I miss you, my dear love
Disgusting, vile…monstrous, insane
Vicious, predatorily little demons that lay
I despise and loathe them in every single way
Crude, simple minded, and empty in their brains.
Someone get me out of here, I’m going insane
I can’t stay with these, close minded people
So someone come and save me, from the wreck I may be come
Horrid, ugly, not the people I wanna be with
Maybe, some are nice, but, would I really wanna hang around them outside of school
It’s crazy, all the stuff they do
See what they’ve brewed up their little white sleeves
Now painted green
With envy and jealousy
Things arise
You’re the girl, you’re the girl that everyone despises, ohohoho
I’m happy, I’m sad…I’m only being myself
Don’t prick my little fingers
Don’t throw things at me
Don’t look me in the eye and ignore me
I take it as a challenge, for every word you said
It’s all dead
I love to simply, freak them out
I’m sorry, sweetie, but I’m only being myself ohohoho
I wear what I want, I do as I please
You’re the ones that shall, bow before me
I am the queen of my own little world
Don’t try and ruin it, or you will be torn
My emotions are not, to be messed with
I’ve been in the dark, I’ve been in the dark so many times
Look me in the eye, tell me what you see
Do I really look at you harmoniously, ohoho
I do not, never will until that day
I pray, for all of you to change
I am only being me, I am one single person
I am myself, you can’t control my life or tell me what to think
Or what I should do with it
I’ve made better choices than you
Hmph, I’m sorry if I sound like a snob
But it’s true, my little demons, it’s true
Part of the Harry Potter set, the office…I love how this turned out. I decided to post it now, please don’t mind the date…my camera is old and quite strange unfortunately. ^^; Taken in London, 2012 on Warner Bros Tour.
Can’t say…there are too many places to choose from.
One of my better tablet drawings I think. I’m still getting used to using it still…this is just some “Gravitation” fan art I did of Shuichi.
