I really can’t believe I’m saying this, but I am sharing new work at the LEATHER ARCHIVES & MUSEUM @leatherarchives December 1st with Aay Preston-Myint @dirtrainbow & Ivan Lozano @giggomachine. We are all part of the Chicago Archives + Artists Project @chicagoarchivesartists. I’ve been studying the Chicago Protest Collection @newberrylibrary for the past year. This is one of the new pieces I’ll be installing OUTSIDE the museum! Thank you @fromthecenter & @tempestthazel for your vision. Photo by Ally Almore. [Description: H. Melt holds up a trans flag that reads there are trans people here in their colorful bedroom surrounded by flags and posters]. #therearetranspeoplehere #chicagoartists #chicagoarchives #transart #transthreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BqPq-OCn9evtl4ZEU4mCvdSpunDE-GjtopSLOA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xtb3e2sezhhs
We can survive. This Sunday at 4PM @wcfbook celebrates TO SURVIVE ON THIS SHORE, a book of portraits & interviews featuring trans elders. Gloria Allen, Alexis Martinez & Mickey Mahoney pictured here will be in conversation with the photographer @jesstdugan & interviewer Vanessa Fabbre. This book has made it possible for me to imagine a future. #transart #transfutures #transelders #tosurviveonthisshore https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRVsWtFxu5b3tFbu6huevqDGdBYOM8pkzvtj00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wo1to9gunfxl

In the Queeriosity zine this year, we included the following prompt: If you were a queer superhero, what powers would you have? What would you wear? Who would be your sidekick? What would your theme song be? Here’s my response. A long trans cape. Fabric & glue. ~4.5 ft long x 2.25 ft wide. Thanks to @jamilawoods @niqjames for making the zine with me, all the contributors & @rapbrarian @asgharthegrouch for featuring at the launch. #transthreads #transart #transimagination #queerzines #queerpoetry #queeriosity
Thrilled & humbled to share that this lino cut print I made several years ago will be featured in an upcoming Showtime tv series about Chicago queers. Swipe to see the enlarged version that will appear in the show, which is called Work in Progress. Big thanks to Lilly Wachowski for buying this piece last year & including it. #transart #transbathrooms #transtv #queertv #chicagoqueers #linocut #linocutprint (at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rJK7XF6sV6dMBm1GlOD4Lil1z9oEpdv8p5Eo0/?igshid=6a5d79l7o790
i scrapped these last winter because of a spelling mistake but late tonight i am remembering a time that almost feels lifetimes ago now back in 2012 when i wrote something with a little doodle on a piece of paper marked up from testing pens that had a spelling mistake
my friend claro found it & saw value in it & asked if he could get it printed out as a huge poster
when i saw it last year when i finally made it back out east right before the pandemic hit, it really hit my heart & the misspelling only really added to it
it reminds me that perfectionism is fake & to hold up everything that is meaningful to you
thanks claro, your perspective has always had a way of doing just that for people
this one says “covid safety is community care,” i made it a point in which i was going through what was likely the pinnacle of stress, fear and grief for me in pandemic times with the intention of taping it to telephone polls as a way of getting my ass outside during a deep mental hell rut
This #Pride weekend, we honor the legacies of folks like #MarshaPJohnson whose activism propelled a movement for #LGBTQ rights. We uplift our Trans kin and QT people of color, who to this day continue to face invisibility and violence, even within LGBTQ spaces, but are often at the forefront of our liberation. by @micahbazant #PrideMonth #Pride2017 #Queer #Trans #TransArt #QTPOC #queerart #artforchange #art
#inktober day 10! Ah, at last, the Lord of Flies himself! Today’s #demon is Beelzebub, Ba’al Zebub or Belezebuth. Beezlebub is ranked very highly in the hierarchy of hell, second only to Satan himself, but is mentioned first in the Book of Kings as the god of a Philistine city. He is noted to to assume many forms, including that of the flies he is associated with. Flies are both attracted to death & decay as well as making excellent spies, a hint that this demons eyes & ears are everywhere… Thanks for looking, friends, & cheering me on always I guess I’m doing a bad job of scaring y’all off . . . . #demonology #demonologist #occult #occultart #demonart #beezlebub #lordoftheflies #hell #satan #witchcraft #summoner #witchart #spooky #spookyseason #nonbinaryartist #inkdrawing #brushinking #brushink #transart #transwitch #transwitchesunite #artmagic #hell https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3NY4mF63L/?utm_medium=tumblr
