Celeste Mountjoy – or filthyratbag – is here to serve some harsh truths. Her art is often tongue-in-cheek and having a bit of a dig at the general hipster population. You’ll love her for it.

Liana’s drawings are simple pleasures. Perhaps not traditionally aesthetically pleasing. But it always packs a punch.

@nayyirah.waheed
Nayyirah’s poetry paints images of painful thoughts. She has a powerful way of bringing these feelings off the page. In an interview with Ezibota, Nayyirah said she writes poetry because she needs to be honest.
“I have to be that honest, that sharp, that biting. My soul knows why it needs it to be this way. If this is what my soul wants me to say, this is what I’m going to say.”
