(Let's Get) Political Designs
Where I Stand + What I Stand For
“All art is political in the sense that it serves someone's politics.”
August Wilson
As an LGBTQ+ creative, most of my work can be considered at least partially political. Whether it’s a montage of men kissing or an original painting of Adam & Steve in the Garden of Good & Evil.
Some of my work is explicitly political, intended to inspire action, provoke thought, and spark conversations about what I consider some of the most important issues of our time.
To those who prefer I “Shut Up & Art,” please don’t start. It won’t end well.
Whether you agree, disagree, or find yourself somewhere in the middle, I would like to encourage everyone to find reasonable and respectful ways to voice your opinions and point-of-view. Myself included. I have plenty of room to improve.
Let's get political and be part of the solutions, not problems!

Some think greatness is gonna magically happen.
Without a lot hard work and a lot of love. Think again.
THREADLESS = MAKE AMERICA LOVE AGAIN
Idiocracy tried to warn us. But too many in America are willfully ignorant and seem determined to turn Mike Judge into a modern-day Nostradamus. He predicted the emergence of wrestlers, rock stars, reality show stars in politics. 2024 makes 2006 seems so peaceful and quaint.
Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? Some of those running for political office aren’t. They’re just loud and proud…of being dumb and making everyone else dumber.

While far from a card-carrying LIBERAL, I’m even further from being a CONservative. I consider myself a moderate liberal PROgressive.
PRO highlights things I’m for, not against.

As a let’s-get-reasonable kinda gay, regardless of who’s saying it, I cringe when I see the word “woke.” Not because I don’t think there are those who are “woke,” but because I know it’s an (over)reactionary word used by too many who don’t understand the history of the word.
Many consider my political beliefs to be “woke,” but I’m not one of them.
I’m AWAKE. Plain and simple. Hope you are too, boo.

Over the years, despite my centrist positions, extremists across the spectrum love to accuse me of being “too” this or “not enough” that. Whatever.
But I do love making fun of CONservatives who think name-calling does anything but poke this bear. So I poke back. Like Batman, I’ll be the villain Gotham needs me to be.
