June 26: Open Studios pop-up

For those in Southeast Portland (or for folx willing to venture this direction), CHRL’s next pop-up will be part of APANO’s Open Studios event on Friday, June 26 from 4-8pm.

The address is 8188 SE Division St (cross street: SE 82nd). You can stop by just for supplies OR stay and take part in Open Studios and Urban Forestry’s plant appreciation activities. (You are encouraged to bring a plant clipping to turn into art!)

As a recap, Open Studios is a free mask-required BIPOC affinity third space to make art, explore creativity, and cultivate connections. It is all-ages, open-ended, and drop-in style.

The event is on the ground floor and ADA-accessible.
Bathrooms are single-stall and all gender.
The building has air conditioning.
While Open Studios is a mask-required event, people may unmask to eat in between, as snacks will be available.
An air purifier will be running next to the CHRL table.
There is no onsite parking — limited street parking is available nearby in the residential neighborhood.
Open Studios is directly on bus line 72 and about a block away from bus line 2. The MAX Green Line stops about 15 minutes away.
Open Studios often photographs their events and has opt-out stickers for those wanting to stay off camera.

July 11: supporting Ori Gallery

Are you closer to Northeast Portland? Our friends at Ori Gallery will be tabling at the Mississippi Street Fair on Saturday, July 11 from 11am-6pm and have a station set up with COVID PPE near their gallery (4038 N Mississippi Ave). Stop by to learn about their work and to grab some free masks, including ACI N95s, strapless Readimasks, and Wellbefore KN95s supplied by CHRL.

What we have

At the moment, CHRL’s inventory includes:

3M Vflex N95 masks (duckbill, available in small and regular)
ACI N95 surgical masks (duckbill)
Readimasks (strapless N95, good for MRIs)
SIP airtight valves
Wellbefore KN95 3D masks (adjustable ear loops)
Metrix COVID tests
Metrix COVID/flu tests

Items that can be checked out:

Indoor CO2 monitors (Aranet4 HOME)
Metrix readers (gen 1 and gen 2)
Pulse oximeters (Oxiline Pulse XS Pro)

Before checking things out from CHRL’s library, we ask that you sign up as a member. It’s free and optionally lets you designate someone to pick up or return things on your behalf. We have sign up forms in person too if you’d prefer to fill things out via pen and paper.

Where else should CHRL be?

If you’re part of a community organization serving disabled BIPOC or know of mask-required / mask-encouraged events that CHRL could table at (especially if they’re outdoors), please get in touch!

Since Affect the Verb is a grassroots nonprofit with no actual staff, we are purposely keeping CHRL small to start and thinking intentionally about how to grow sustainably. If our work resonates with you and you’d like to support us, donations would be incredibly helpful and appreciated! Plus, as we are now an independent 501c3, your gifts are tax-deductible.

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Ty

2026-03-18T00:00:00-07:00

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Tynesha

Hi! How would you like to introduce yourself?

My name is Tynesha or Ty (they/them). I’m a passionate and strange animator with a proclivity for the grotesque. I explore these passions through animation, character design and illustration. I’m Black, agender, and disabled and while I explore all these aspects in my art, I also tackle themes of mental health, nature, and the marvels of the human body.

Photo of Ty smiling at the camera. They have long locs, round glasses, a silver charm necklace with a center black brooch, and a zip-up top.

I work primarily in Stop-motion, Cel, and mixed media animation. However, I like to mix all three when I get the chance. My goal as an artist is to tell funny, kinky, horrific, and engaging stories through a plethora of mediums.

I go by Nearsh0t on the internet, using my childhood nickname.

Mixed media animation is getting to be a bit of a lost art these days! Can you talk about how you got into that?

As a kid of the 90s, animated cartoons were a big part of my life. For the longest time, being an animator seemed unattainable. I don’t have a studio or a cel animating desk. Funnily enough, I was able to bridge that gap of possibility when I made my first animation on a 3DS. Nintendo had a game called Flipnote Hatena, where you could create 30 second pixel animations. The floodgates opened and I’ve been hooked on animating ever since.

Is there a dream project or collaboration you’d love to take on someday?

I would like to work on a big horror anthology. I love horror, local folklore and mysteries, so I want to tell a story like that, local to south eastern Virginia. To me, horror is an amazing vehicle to examine the core of human experience, which to me is “how do we deal with what we don’t understand.”

Illustration of a purple humanoid on an abstract orange background. The humanoid is leaning back with its skull exposed, turned toward the sky. Within the skull is a green gelatinous brain, a writhing pink tongue and lower molars.

Do you have any favorite sources for inspiration, whether it’s from general media or just life?

I’ve always had a love for biology and how animals (including humans) function. I watched hours upon hours of nature or medical documentaries as a kid, often drawing along to help me understand.

Another huge (more specific) inspiration was the Adult Swim programming block [on Cartoon Network]. They would occasionally play abstract short films. It opened my mind to what’s possible in animation, illustration, and art in general!

Lastly, I love music. I was raised on hip-hop and R&B, then later fell in love with electronica. Music and visual art for me are intertwined. When I see art, I hear a soundtrack. When I hear a song, I see a movie.

Similarly but also separately, what brings you joy or helps you recharge in general (when you just need a break)?

I love to go out to a theater to recharge. If not the movies, then I cuddle up with my dogs with a book. I also LOVE baking.

Wait, can you please tell us a bit about your dogs? What are their names and what are they like?

My dogs are named Tiamut (my five-year-old mixed dog) and Spyro (my six-year-old Chihuahua Dachshund). My husband and I named them after our favorite dragons (99% sure they’re little dragons in disguise). Tiamut is a pure sweetheart, who will give you kisses 24/7 if you let her. And Spyro is my little alpha dog, who loves cuddles but stands on business when it comes to protecting the house.

How would you say your lived experiences have influenced your art?

My grandmas, mother, father, aunts, uncles, everyone who raised me loved to make things. Whether it was my grandmas’ sewing or my mom’s painting. Making things was as natural as breathing. My dad was in the military until I was five, so art was my lifeline in a tumultuous early life.

Black and white comic with its main panel showing a femme person with bangs, glasses, and a bloody nose in a forest of dead trees, clutching a book. The top left panel says, “Ssshhh,” underneath a butterfly with a broken wing. The top right panel follows with a twisted tree trunk and “Don’t be afraid.” The bottom left panel reads, “Lost? No, no...” above a row of mushrooms marked by drops of blood. The bottom right panel states, “You’re home,” with a squirrel on the ground, also bleeding from its nose.

My family was also very intentional about making sure I knew about Black artists, musicians, and writers. They sought to nurture my love of art, as making art has always been a liberating tool for my people.

Can you do a bit of world-building for the illustration you created for our Disabled And Here: Possible Futures series?

I wanted to imagine a world where we don’t treat nature as an obstacle, but as a companion to our community. That would still exist and has existed, but here I wanted to push it to the extreme. I have Lupus with kidney complications, and the outside has been presented to me as a hazard. Sun poisoning, food-induced inflammation, the works.

In this illustration, this elder is a well of botanical knowledge and is at home in their mechanized chair. The chair’s robotic feet are built to traverse any landscape while keeping the user comfortable.

Illustration of a Black woman Elder sitting in a grand mobility chair embroidered with vines, fruit, and foliage. The padded chair has robotic feet and is connected to a hydroponic garden, with a leafy canopy roof. The woman reaches up to grab a passion fruit off the canopy. She wears a headscarf, long locs, choker, ankle-length tube dress, and sandals.

The outside would be my and people like me’s greatest ally. Shade from harsh sun, plentiful healthy food, surrounded by herbs and plants that can be used to help with comfort and pain, all while powering a chair (biothermally/with hydropower) to help with mobility. Technology like this would not just be our aid – people with disabilities would be its steward. Because of the ways in which nature helps us in this future, we would be the keepers and teachers of the knowledge these plants provide.

I love that so much. If there was a more magical universe, what kind of superpower would you want most?

Telekinesis. Hands down.

Final question: what are the best ways to support you and your work going forward?

I have a patreon: Nearsh0t (a zero for the O)! I share all sorts of art and writings there. Nearsh0t on Instagram, itch.io, and Bluesky too.

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Michelle

2026-03-11T00:00:00-07:00

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Michelle

Hi! How would you like to introduce yourself?

Hi, I’m Michelle (they/them) and I’m a Chinese-American illustrator and designer based in the midwestern United States.

Michelle’s self-drawn avatar of them with glasses and chin-length hair turning back in surprise towards the viewer while sipping on an iced coffee. They have a mole under their left eye, have a sweat drop on their face, and are wearing a geometric pattern button shirt.

How might you describe your illustration style? And do you have any favorite sources for inspiration?

Moody, textural. I used to mess around a lot with pastels and mixed media as a kid, and I guess I’ve come around full-circle as an adult, but without the strange sensory problems I have handling powdery/chalky mediums.

Artist inspo: Eyvind Earle, Maxfield Parrish, Katherine Lam.

What brings you joy or helps you recharge in general, when you just need a break?

Talking with my friends, video games, doodling/collaging/figure drawing, and bullying my cats. I work with a local animal rescue and spending time with the dogs is very therapeutic. Sometimes just going to a new place and sitting there, taking everything in without an agenda, is very healing for me. It helps if it’s near a good coffee shop too.

Illustration showing a spread of polaroids dated in different months of 2023, all starring the same person, a South Asian woman with wavy, shoulder-length hair. In some of the photos, a ghostly silhouette can be seen next to the woman, with the two often embracing. In the right corner foreground, a pair of glasses rests on top of the photos.

Ooh, can you tell us more about your cats? What are their names and what are they like?

The oldest is Dexter, the second is Luna, and the youngest is Cream Puff! Dexter is very sweet and cuddly, and he also likes to make sure everything in the house is running according to his schedule. If I’m not where I’m “supposed” to be, he’ll yell at me until I get up and go do what I need to do.

Luna is similarly very cuddly, but she prefers to interrupt me while I’m drawing or sending emails so I take breaks. If I try to cuddle her when I’m not busy, all bets are off; it has to be on her terms and her terms only.

Cream Puff is the least cuddly, but she will make me take breaks to play with her. She loves to play fetch and will bring me her toys so I can throw them for her, or she will instigate “chase,” where I pretend to be a monster and chase her around the house. If I stop too soon, she’ll come find me and yell at me to keep going. They’re a pretty good management team!

Aww, so strict and yet loving. Can you share more context for the illustration you created in our Disabled And Here: Possible Futures series?

I think one of the things that happens very often when you’re disabled is becoming physically isolated from your community. Online communication is so helpful (I wouldn’t trade my discord bookclub/shitpost server for anything), but there’s something deeply irreplaceable about your friends coming to your house or vice versa, sharing a meal, laughing together. It’s different for everyone, but I personally find it much more difficult to say “I’m doing great!” or hide how overwhelmed I’m feeling when I’m physically sitting in front of my friends versus behind a computer. That vulnerability is terrifying, but essential.

Illustration of three disabled friends gathering for hot pot. On the left, a Black and Asian transmasculine individual beams into their friend's home with a bag of fruits and vegetables. They wear glasses and a glucose monitor with a hologram display, and the teleportation device above them announces, “Arriving from: Chicago.” A South Asian non-binary person walks over to the teleporter with their cane. On the right, an East Asian woman sits at a table in her power wheelchair, raising a hand in greeting while a cat rests contentedly in their lap. On the table is a steaming pot of hot pot soup base and a small assortment of meats and vegetables.

My friends and I frequently talk about how nice it would be if we could just teleport to each other, especially in times of hardship, and I thought a teleportation device would be an amazing thing to have. In my ideal world, these devices would be installed in every home by default, and you’d schedule and confirm visits with your friends before teleporting over. I also entertained the idea of having smaller versions of these devices/portals in every home so you could talk to your friends and pass them items through the device or even hold their hands. Ultimately, though, what I crave more is just being able to hang out in person and share a meal with my loved ones.

In this illustration, I wanted to depict three friends coming together to eat hotpot. The host of the party is seated at the table, with it comfortably adjusted to her height and the sides extended to accommodate her guests. Her friend (using a quad base cane) is walking over to greet their friend teleporting in from Chicago. I imagine this group of friends have these get-togethers every couple of months or so, usually at this host’s house.

If there was a more magical universe, what kind of superpower would you want most?

Predictably, teleportation (and/or shapeshifting).

Would you say your lived experiences have influenced your art? And if so, how?

On a physical level, the medication that works best for my brain also makes my hands shake. I tend to use angular shapes because of how I now use the lasso tool, and I modified a lining brush that is textural enough for my tastes but has a ton of smoothing behind it so I’m not worried about strange jitters/fragments or having to go back to redo a line because of a tremor.

Thematically, I had a hard time connecting with other people and processing/voicing my feelings growing up. I think that desire to connect or communicate difficult, complex feelings has unintentionally become a common thread in my work.

Illustration of a memorial altar framed around a backlit window. In the foreground, lily arrangements surround fruit offerings and burning incense. The smoke from the incense reveals the past memory of a small neighborhood, with a cozy home in the center, while the window view shows the current neighborhood lined with identical modern apartments.

Is there a dream project or collaboration you’d love to take on someday?

I’d love to work on book covers, as well as TV and movie posters! I’m especially fond of horror, slice-of-life, and romance features. An atmospheric zombie poster would be a dream for me. I’m also starting to get back into comics, and I’d love to work on experimental, surreal narratives.

Final question: what are the best ways to support you and your work going forward?

To be frank, I am still getting used to asking for help when I need it, and as a result I find it difficult to articulate exactly what I need. The systems in place can make it incredibly shameful to even admit you need accommodations, and it becomes easy to just isolate yourself in a space you know and can control.

It’s something I’ve been trying to be more assertive about just these past few months. I think beyond that, what has helped me the most are my friends, who have been patient when I need a bit to sort out what I’m feeling or check in with me when I’m overwhelmed.

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Sunmi

2026-03-04T00:00:00-08:00

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Sunmi

Hi! How would you like to introduce yourself?

I’m Sunmi, a cartoonist, author, illustrator, and zinemaker based in Baltimore. I’m also queer, Korean, and was born and raised in the East Bay Area of California. I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s Syndrome in 2016 and have since been dealing with concurrent conditions such as prediabetes, but my most prominent disabling symptom is neuropathy.

Photo of Sunmi sitting on a folding chair wearing glasses, a short blue wig, white face mask, long-sleeved graphic t-shirt, and jeans. They are looking at a pink smartphone.

Do you have any favorite sources for inspiration, whether they’re general media or just life?

Definitely enjoy a lot of media, but these days I feel like my most vital sources of inspiration are people, music, and nature. I have been exploring a lot of activities around those things, anything that gives me a feeling of embodiment. In particular, I have been ruminating on how acts like singing, dancing, and drawing can be trained, but also have an instinctual quality that humans tap into from childhood.

Ooh, do you have any favorite songs at the moment, to either sing or dance to?

Most recently for singing: the jazz standard Blue Moon. Most recently for dancing: Busca Por Dentro by Grupo Niche. My partner and I listen to Latin radio in the car sometimes and that’s where I first heard it. It also came up again a couple weeks ago at a Tuesday salsa night that my friend always invites me to go to!

Illustration of a medium-hair black cat sitting on a keyboard in front of a window with cloudy blue skies. Music notes fly off the keyboard and from some trees outside the window.

Similarly but also separately, what brings you joy or helps you recharge in general (when you just need a break)?

Again haha – singing, dancing, nature hiking, but also lately MMA fighting & ice skating! I also always enjoy getting a nice drink and catching up with a friend or reading a book, seeing a show together with someone or by myself.

How would you say your lived experiences have influenced your art?

Recently, I shifted to feel that it’s not necessarily that my lived experiences influence my art, but art is how I process life and expand my perspective of the world. This is what makes human art so powerful and sublime to me, that the drawing or melody of someone you know could move you more than any famous artist in the world if you love that person.

Can you do a bit of world-building for the illustration you created for our Disabled And Here: Possible Futures series?

Yes! I grew up going to public Korean saunas in California and when we visited relatives in Seoul. There once was one here in Baltimore, in a semi-abandoned mall that unfortunately is closed down now.

Digital illustration featuring the side profile of an East Asian person with shoulder-length hair soaking in a hot tub of magical, healing water. Steam and sparkles envelop the person’s head as well as their hand, which rests atop their chest while they lie back with eyes closed. In the background, potted tropical plants adorn a checkerboard tile floor.

In my ideal, gender-liberated future, everyone can have a personal hot tub or go to fully accessible saunas to ease their physical pain and relax. In this illustration, I imagined that through an ergonomic, magical bath with special features and healing water.

If there was a more magical universe, what kind of superpower would you want most?

Teleportation and shapeshifting! It’s a toss-up between the two. I might want shapeshifting a little more.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

There’s a man named Samuil who lives alone with his dogs in the Siberian wilderness of Yakutia, the coldest inhabited place on earth. Ever since I watched a video series, I think of him often now. My next book is about grappling with conflicting internal desires for connection and isolation, though not in such an extreme situation as his.

Final question: what are the best ways to support you and your work going forward?

You can find or request to get my first YA graphic novel Firebird at your local independent bookstore or library, or follow my work at sunmiflowers.com or @sunmi_comics on Instagram. I’m always available to commission for art, teaching workshops, and school visits. Thank you!

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Liz

2026-02-25T00:00:00-08:00

Disabled And Here Illustrator: Interview with Liz

Hi! How would you like to introduce yourself?

I’m Liz. I’m a queer, East Asian, abolitionist socialist artist new-ish to experiencing chronic pain. I was born with a cleft lip and palate and transracially adopted from Korea. I love watching kids’ cartoons and coming home to my cat.

Liz's self-drawn avatar, featuring her with chin-length hair, tinted glasses, a heart on her right cheek, and a cleft lip.

A lot of your work is, as you describe in your Instagram bio, “rooted in collective struggle and liberation.” How did you get started in this path and with illustration and infographics in general?

Content warning: discussion of police brutality

I’m ideally in constant and active dialogue with myself and others about what collective struggle and liberation means and how we get there. This began relatively late for me, when I was in graduate school and watched the video of the cop killers murdering Eric Garner. I started looking for anything and anyone that would help me understand and I continue on this non-linear path today.

Shortly before the pandemic started, I began creating visual notes. My partner also generously gifted me an iPad, and I began drawing consistently again for the first time since college. I posted my notes and drawings online and they got some attention. Once we were in lockdown, people and organizations began to ask me to create images based off of virtual events. For the past several years, I have continued creating infographics based on things I am learning about and in relation to my varying capacities, depression levels, and pain levels.

Is there a dream project or collaboration you’d love to take on someday?

This has honestly been a dream project for me, even if I didn’t know it before starting. 2025 was a year for me to finally start to be in relationship with my body, as it was crying out in pain after I spent so many years hunched over electronics. While I have been invested in disability justice as someone who is post- and pre-disabled, I have been slowly unpacking my own ableism to start identifying as currently disabled.

This collaboration with Elea [Affect creator] has been my first time intentionally incorporating my disabilities into my art. Elea was communicative and encouraging, offering many insights along the way, including gently pointing out ways my illustration was leaning into ableist tropes and supporting me to challenge myself in new ways. This was a dream project because I learned about myself through the process and was able to grow from it (and get paid to afford rent! Pay artists!).

When you just need a break, what are some things that help recharge you or bring you joy?

Children’s cartoons bring me so much joy. During the pandemic, I started watching so many cartoons and grew closer to a friend who also loves cartoons. Some of my favorites are Bee and Puppycat, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, The Owl House, Kotaro Lives Alone, and Steven Universe.

I also love water. Seeing a body of water, like a pond or the ocean, or being in water whether a shower or swimming, helps my body feel grounded and my mind more centered.

Can you do a bit of world-building for the illustration you created for our Disabled And Here: Possible Futures series?

I imagine this world to be closer to a liberatory horizon that embodies disability wisdom and abolition infused with solarpunk aesthetics. In this world, interdependence is the life force around which society is based, rather than extraction and dispossession.

Illustration of three disabled people of color at a solarpunk apothecary stall. On the left, an East Asian person with a cleft lip sits in front of the stall, enjoying a cold cap. On the right, a South Asian person using a power wheelchair grinds medicinal plants. Within the stall, a Black person with a mechanic monocle uses a forearm crutch to reach for a plant on a pulley device. The stall has a solar panel and plant bed on its roof and is equipped with a healing tank, medical tech library, and medicine exchange stand.

I chose to draw an apothecary stall because I wanted to depict a healthcare economy based on mutual care rather than the medical industrial complex as we know it today. The people in the image show up as they are able to and as they need to — whether that means taking care of their own bodies or of others.

The person in the cold cap is experiencing a pain flare and so they are using the cap for pain relief. The person in the power chair is a medicinal healer, making medicine out of the plants grown at the apothecary. The medicine will then be added to the medicine exchange for distribution. The person behind the stall is a techie who maintains the med tech library. They are using their forearm crutch to grab a plant for the medicinal healer. Their stories are immense and complex, but this is a small glimpse of a quiet moment in this world.

As you know, this series is dedicated in memory of Alice Wong, and you’re one of the illustrators she worked with. Did you draw any inspiration from her for the illustration?

I only had the opportunity to work with Alice on two occasions, and they were both memorable. The bacta tank from Star Wars is a specific homage to Alice and one of the first conversations we ever had where we bonded over our love for sci-fi.

More broadly, I am still learning and internalizing Alice’s expansive understanding of disability as abundance; as time travel; as a portal to new worlds. I think these new worlds are within us and Alice’s words and way of being encourages me to tap into them rather than shut them down or distract myself from them. She taught me to listen to them and embrace them. To love them. To love each other and ourselves and fight.

In the vein of imagination, if there were a more magical universe, what kind of superpower would you want most?

I wish I could communicate with people in whatever their language is.

Final question: what are the best ways to support you and your work going forward?

Please consider giving monies to my friend’s cancer fund! Otherwise, you can find my work on IG at @Lizar_tistry.

Interview by Elea Chang

Introducing the COVID + Health Resource Library

2026-02-12T00:00:00-08:00

Introducing the COVID + Health Resource Library

Affect is launching its third program, the COVID + Health Resource Library (CHRL or “choral” for short)! It’s an experiment that we’re developing as we go, but is a community resource for disabled BIPOC, and basically a tool library centered around COVID PPE.

As funds for disabled health have been drastically cut in the last year, we as disabled people of color need to be increasingly creative and resourceful to keep ourselves and our community safe through an ongoing pandemic. CHRL hopes to bridge that gap a little.

To start, CHRL will offer:

free specialty filtering masks
- by specialty, we mean high filtration N95 masks and airtight valves that have gone through quantitative fit tests, but may be less accessible to the public because of price or limited stockists
lab-quality molecular COVID tests that people can borrow for home use
- right now, we are primarily focused on the Metrix reader, as the Pluslife is not readily available in the United States

First pop-up / collaboration

CHRL is partnering with APANO and tabling at their upcoming Open Studios event on Friday, February 20 from 4-8pm! Open Studios is a free mask-required BIPOC affinity third space to experiment, play, explore creativity, and cultivate connections. It is all-ages, open-ended, and drop-in style.

The address is 8188 SE Division St (cross street: SE 82nd). You can stop by for supplies OR take part in AZN Zine Fest’s zine scramble.

The event is on the ground floor and ADA-accessible.
Bathrooms are single-stall and all gender.
While Open Studios is a mask-required event, people may unmask to eat in between, as snacks will be available.
An air purifier will be running next to the CHRL table.
There is no onsite parking — limited street parking is available nearby in the residential neighborhood.
Open Studios is directly on bus line 72 and about a block away from bus line 2. The MAX Green Line stops about 15 minutes away.
Open Studios often photographs their events and has opt-out stickers for those wanting to stay off camera.

CHRL was made possible through a two-year general operating grant from the Northwest Health Foundation. We would have mentioned it before, but are a bit behind on Affect’s end of 2025 wrap-up!
