I’m a digital collage artist. I make collages from vintage gay magazines from the 60’s. I’m currently making a gay tarot deck

To celebrate the spooky season, I made a series of collages where I put all the original Universal monsters in drag. I even went on to do some 80's monsters but eventually lost steam because a lot of them don't really have enough of a face to put in drag (The Fly, The Blob.)

I am really happy with how this collage turned out. I wanted to make him look not like he actually had redskin, but like he was wearing red grease paint.

Although i do love the word "cabochon."

I know that it's clunky jargon. Unfortunately, every term in the world of rhinestones just sucks: stoning, stoner, bedazzling, AB (aurora borealis), flat-back.

My event insurance didn’t cover inventory loss, so I’m not getting reimbursed. I hate to ask, but any financial help would mean a lot. Venmo/Zelle info is below. If you donate, DM or email me your address—I’d love to send a thank-you gift (prints/postcards).

I filed a police report. And I had event insurance. But to be honest, I do not have any faith that my insurance will pay me out or that the police will be able to do anything about it. I had a very disheartening talk with the Folsom staff last night, too. I just feel very demotivated.

I paid hundreds of dollars to be a vendor, worked for months to plan for the event, and make art to sell. And then I lost it all. ):

I had a booth at the Folsom Street Fair. I wore a fun handmade outfit, sold lots of art, and then got robbed at the day. I lost all the money I made in sales and all the petty cash I brought for change, along with all my cards.
