Got my grubby lil’ hands on the new 3x3 Magazine — super fun to flip through and see my work alongside so many incredible illustrators! Many thanks to the jury and all the folks I got to collaborate with on these projects:

Do you like hotdogs? AND shop in the greater Massachusetts regional retail market?? AND want limited-edition commemorative packaging illustrated by yours truly???

Well, if you’re the person at the center of that very specific venn diagram — have I got a deal for YOU 🌭

Always a pleasure to partner with the Aliveness Project for Pride! This is our third collaboration and it’s still such a cool feeling to see this work out in the world.

This year’s design celebrates the many ways that Minnesotans came together to support their neighbors during the heaviest days of the ICE occupation, from grocery runs and rent fundraisers to neighborhood patrols.

We aimed to highlight how the Aliveness Project shares that same spirit of community care, providing direct assistance for folks living with HIV in the Twin Cities and beyond.

Today the Minneapolis city council will hear public comments regarding the effort to overturn the city’s outdated and homophobic bathhouse ban. This policy was enacted in 1988 during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, when fear and stigma shaped public policy. Today, we know that public health works best when it is rooted in science and community.

Earlier this spring, I had the honor of being asked to create a series of illustrated posters to help raise community awareness around this ongoing effort. It’s been so satisfying to see them hanging in local bars and community spaces over the past few weeks!

This past Friday was the final day of MicroVisions 9, which is also the final show from WOW x WOW — it has me feeling nostalgic and thinking about the piece I created for WOW x WOW’s very first MicroVisions show way back in 2018.

Today’s the final day of “Love in the Time of Resistance” at Co-Prosperity in Chicago — it’s truly an honor to have a piece of my work included in this traveling snapshot of Minnesota’s visual response to ICE violence. So much of what happened in the Twin Cities was shaped and informed by Chicago’s efforts during last year’s Operation Midway Blitz, so this show of solidarity feels full of collective gratitude.

Here’s my contribution to MicroVisions 9 from WOW x WOW 🐝 The online group exhibition of small artworks runs through May 22nd.
