How does being queer inform your work?

A lot of my inspiration is drawn from the places and things I used to “escape” the conservative bubble i grew up in and the ways in which they informed the person I became

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

I have always been super inspired by queer ephemera, specifically flyers, zines, buttons, etc. and I am constantly scouring the internet for more examples

Which other queer people inspire you?

The friends I surround myself with
