This is something I sketched on election night. Years from now I’m going to flip through the pages of this sketchbook and stop on this drawing and remember the appalling news of that bigoted pumpkin’s win. As a disabled queer person of color living in this country, I’m terrified. As an artist, I can only hope that the fear and anxiety I’m experiencing will fuel me with the urgency to continue to create art most people see as diverse but I see as normal. I could never imagine Trump or any of his supporters being interested in the work I make. And that makes me very proud.

I hope everyone stays safe for the remainder of this year and the next four. It’s going to be a bumpy road.
