Two nerds (including myself) hanging out with Alexis Ohanian in a parking lot.

King cake season is upon us! Here's my extraordinarily lazy king cake "recipe."
The laziest king cake in the world, made from prepackaged cinnamon roll dough, baked in a cast iron skillet, topped with store bought cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with gold, green, and purple sanding sugar.

I made vegan chitlins for Christmas and my Black Card wasn't revoked!

Black Mama, Aunt, and Uncle approved:
Vegan chitlins in a pot on the stove. Made from Chinese tofu skin / bean curd sheets. Seasoned with a vegetarian pork flavored broth, onion, garlic, and chili flakes.

The only hat I've ever looked good in 🎩
Me wearing a top hat when my locs were new and fuzzy a million years ago. I look kinda like Slash. 🎸

Years ago, I bought a button from them that I now keep on my camera bag.

One time I got stopped at a security checkpoint and the guy asked "what machine do you have in your bag that kills fascists?"
Me, opening my bag to show him: "Just my camera."
Security: "That'll do it! Good luck out there!"
Camera bag strap prominently featuring a few buttons. The one in the center of the photo says "This machine kills fascists" in Woody Guthrie's handwriting. The one below it says "Drunk Orchestra" because I always have to give a shout out to my people.

If you see this, post a concert pic you took.

[Sunu (a Kansas City Afrobeats band) at Mardi Gras 2023. Local talent, local venue, local love 💕]
Black and white photo of a singer with tassel earrings gripping her microphone while making an impassioned face. Drummer on congas, wearing traditional African clothing. Stage lights are green and highlight the side of his shoulder and face.

Sousaphone player Rosie O'Brien holding a megaphone, with her instrument dressed up like some sort of creature. The band is gearing up to start a parade for the Crewe de Cryptid, a Mardi Gras parade in Kansas City, MO. Afrobeats group Sunu featuring special guest Babara Bangoura. Everyone pictured is playing a percussion instrument, with the two djembes most prominent at the front of the stage.

I'm gonna make an effort to not just lurk on here like I do everywhere else. Y'all can't get to know me if I'm invisible.

So here's a few more photos I've taken & merch I've designed. I owe a lot in my career to these particular people giving me a chance. @efg.xyz wouldn't exist without them.
Front and back images of a blue windbreaker jacket featuring a bright blue top half, navy blue bottom half, and light blue, yellow, orange, and red colored stripes dividing them. The front features the name "Social Symphony of Kansas City" on the chest, both "Social Symphony" and "Drunk Orchestra" logos on the inside flaps behind the zipper, and prominently shows the Kansas City, Missouri skyline on the back. Big Freedia. Queen Diva. Wearing a rainbow-colored top. Photo shot on a telephoto lens from the crowd (blurry hands are visible on the edges of the shot). A black-and-white photo of singer-songwriter Eric Stuart at a microphone with his eyes closed. A guitar strap can be seen on his shoulder but the instrument is cropped out of the shot to focus on his facial expression and relationship with the microphone. Charcoal-gray T-shirt with a subtle swirly black pattern printed on it. Printed on top of the pattern is the name "Back Alley Brass Band" in a New Orleans inspired font in Mardi Gras colors. The shirt is framed by several strands of gold, green, and purple beads to match the shirt's typography.

For my new followers, I'm a concert photographer, graphic designer, and musician in a community orchestra. Art and music are my heart and soul.

I own @efg.xyz, where I do graphic design and photography for performing arts. I mostly stay in Kansas City, but I've worked with clients all over.
Mirror selfie of a photographer (me), sharing the frame with my Canon DSLR camera. The photo takes place in a graffiti-covered bathroom in Lawrence, Kansas. The vibe is counterculture but Midwestern Nice. I'm wearing a pleather jacket and my dreadlocks are in two-strand twists covered by a black headscarf. Me, happily playing my golden blonde-colored violin in my community orchestra with a big smile on my face. My shirt says "world's okayest violin player." Dreadlock status: twist-out.
