My Night Skin

My Night Skin is a collection of Mike Toney's work between 2020-2023, inspired by his love for Anime and his study of the African diaspora. The title, My Night Skin, is inspired by the Night Skin movement of 2022 created by Tony Weaver as a way of disarming racists and empowering creators of color to embrace their night skin. Toney wanted this book to carry that same mission of embracing one's beautiful black skin and creating fearlessly.

The book is comprised of 100 pages of original black characters divided into 3 sections: Original Characters, On the Horizon, and Fan Art Re-imagined.
