How does being queer inform your work?

It is an informant to my work and plays a role in my perception of the world. I believe being a trans man specifically is a unique perspective to have – I use this as both a method for fueling my creativity and forming a pov as well as for how I can relate and connect with others + in what service this can open up in the world.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

Stonewall movement protest signs and graphic flyers, media and basically anything in the queer 70s era.

Which other queer people inspire you?

Debbie Millman, Dan Levy, LIL NAS X, Sam Smith, Janelle Monáe, Roxane Gay, Chani Nicholas, Amélie Lamont, Chip Kid, Jonathan Adler
