Layers building up.

John Waters wearing a bright red suit in a blue room. He is blowing into a party noisemaker and next to him is a cake with an "80" candle on top for his birthday

It's John Waters' 80th Birthday...and where would cult cinema, midnight movies, and queer film be without him? By celebrating kitsch, filth, and the enduring power of good bad taste, he continues to inspire so many to go do the damn thing. Make depraved art today (and always) in honor of John.

Deciding on scale and placement.

The letters "AI" in a crossed out circle to signify that this artist doesn't use AI in his work. It's in pink, red, and white, so it's cute!

I made this lil' badge to put on my Patreon banner, just to be extra clear. No AI, but make it cute!

On this Trans Day of Visibility, let us remember those who came before, celebrate those who are blazing the trail now, and look ahead to those who will continue to make the future brighter. There is no LGBTQ+ pride or advancement without the T. Today and EVERY day, you belong.
