Saun & Starr , two Harlem queens.

Their stories are worth looking into if you’re interested in the retro-soul scene. I’ve admired their cover album (Look Closer) since I was in high school.

I get inspiration every time I hear the direction they took these master works of soul!

[ID: A drawing of the three player characters from Drawfee's Drawtectives series, posing in front of one of their pride flags. The drawings are black line art filled in with white, and the characters have their season 1 designs. York, a tall half-orc, is in front of an asexual flag. Rosé, a human, is in front of a sapphic flag. Grendan, a dwarf, is in front of a genderfluid flag. End ID.]

The new drawfee video had me in a drawtectives mood. Happy pride!

Bonus:

[ID: The same drawing as above, except now the characters are placed in front of one big flag, the tricolor polyamorous flag. End ID.]

Bonus bonus:

[ID: The same drawings as the previous two images, except now the characters are placed in front of a large queerplatonic flag. End ID.]
