Placed before you is a highball glass filled with an iced beverage. The color is a deep red. It smells of fruit with hints of spice, & ginger. The taste is tart on the tongue. Sweet. Refreshing.

about me

Emily | 1991 | Gemini ☼ Scorpio ☾ Lirba ↑

Black | Queer | Neurodivergent

I'm an illustrator and designer going through a career change.

I have a lot of interests, some I'll probably be posting about.

Some examples include:

• art & design: illustration | comics | zines
• fashion: personal style | sustainability | vintage (60s-90s)
• music: listening | singing | learning (currently the bass guitar)
• crafting: sewing | DIY
• thinking and talking about death and dying

I'll probably will think of more later...

about sorrel sour

I wanted a simple home base to start using the personal web. I had been creating my own homepages and shrines since 2004 and stopped around 2011 during the rise of social media. I slowly realized how much I missed this part of the internet as our dependence on mainstream social media rose and through my experience working in start-up/tech spaces. So here I am, trying to learn, have fun, and share with you.

"So what's with the name "Sorrel Sour?" You probably didn't ask:

I've been going by "Eraserable" since my later days using AIM. Its the username I use a lot on the big web. I wanted this site to feel kind of separate from all of that. So, I went with sorrel as an ode to my Jamaican heritage. Sorrel is what West Indians call Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa). It's also the name of a drink made from the dried fruit of the plant. (I'll create a post with the recipe soon!) As for the Sour part. I just thought it sounded cute. ヘ(‘◇’、)
