Feeling for all the trans folks in my life & community & wishing I had time to make some more art to process all the big feelings I’m having about the state of the world. For now I’ll be voting, holding my trans siblings extra tight, & sending Fords $200 bribe to an org that supports trans thriving.

The torso of a man wearing a forest green T-shirt with an image on it and white of a man with his pants around his ankle, ankles, and the text drop everything. The background is blue and he has one hand at his side and one hand with his thumb looped through his belt loop.
My “Drop Everything” t-shirt is perfect everyday wear or for something sexy & playful to wear for an evening out on the town. The t-shirt features a reproduction of my “Drop Everything” linocut print - a remake of a vintage bathhouse advertisement. Comes in forest green, canvas red & Oxblood red.

A bit about me!
My name is Eric J Van Giessen - I’m the artist behind Queero Gear! QG started as a way for me to rediscover my creativity while working on my PhD, and had grown into a small business centred around queer joy, pleasure/sex and connection.
