Stick it to Him is an interactive zine commenting on the sexual allure of cars and machinery while growing up in an American society. In my childhood, I would often become attracted to racing games and Hot Wheels cars not because I was necessarily interested in cars, but because the imagery and branding around them was so powerful and attractive. Later, as my sexuality progressed, I found a disconnect between the attraction to those cars and my attraction to boys. Stick it to Him illustrates my confusion by portraying a dystopian connection between these elements while trivializing them by making the images into stickers, a childlike approach to a complex phenomenon.
