I am obsessed with ideas & symbols. Something will just flash into my head, and I suddenly have to draw it as a simple line drawing. I’ll set it aside, and come back to it every so often. Often, this process reveals another flash of insight, a word, phrase, quote. Repeated enough these flashes create a glossary of concepts that include symbol, word, definition, and (a) guiding quote(s). This glossary can then be used to better communicate the complexity and depth of Queerly Complex creations.

“To me coming out was the best possible thing that one could do with one's life. It always worked in my favor, it never ever worked against me in my career, in my relationships with people or ever. I can't think of a time that it ever worked against me. People appreciate honesty.” Blackberri, "Interview: BLACKBERRI,” Straight Up An intergenerational LGBTQ+ Anthology
