Had a great time at LICZ fest yesterday in Lansing. Thanks to everybody who stopped by to chat and look at my work. Thank you morgan for being my roadie and media manager, and thank you Joshua for the hook up and pointing out its prounouced "Zine like Green".....and I've been saying it wrong for literally 20 years.
I'm gonna be sharing some of my zines at @liczfest this weekend in Lansing. Licz Fest is a zine (magaZiNE) fair, where people bring their self published work to buy sell, trade. Theres allways realy great exhibiters with all sorts of crazy and awesome projects. I'm realy excited about this opportunity to share some of my work in a self published form.
Come hang out in Lansing on Saturday at @Liczfest !
Do I have any friends, or friends of friends in Muskegon who work late nights in the service industry and who would be interested in partisipating in a portrait porject?
Let me know!

Congratulations to @envivochurch for winning a Venue award at #artprize2024. It's such a warm and welcoming space and they fully welcome any one whomwalks through the doors. Hosting SOVEREIGN here has been a real joy.
SOVEREIGN also won a Visibility award. From the artprize web site, "The five Visibility Awards shine a spotlight on exceptional work by artists of diverse backgrounds. Selected by an equally diverse group of jurors, these awards strive to showcase the broad range of experience and expertise participants bring to enrich our annual event."
To be honest, I have no idea what to think about this, but wow what a crazy time!

@artprize is going for just a few more days! You are invited to see the SOVEREIGN EXHIBITION at En Vivo Church, Creston Grand Rapids, untill september 28th.
The SOVEREIGN EXHIBITION is a 9 image exhibition, taking images and text from the SOVEREIGN Zine YOU helped fund. It is is being exhibited at En Vivo Church, a #lgbtqi led church, and one of the most welcoming spaces you are ever going to encounter.
I would love to see you at the #artprize #exhibition, and you can grab your own copy of the SOVEREIGN zine.
SOVEREIGN #ZINE is a celebration of small-town American #drag culture, surrounded by rigid and polarized views of gender, SOVEREIGN asks the question "What is drag and what is gender today?"

Come check out the exhibit at @envivochurch and grab your own copy of the zine!

I have a few more days of fundraising for my project SOVEREIGN, before the deadline of August 3rd. Do you want to help me?

With a week left to go, I still have $765 to raise so I can turn SOVEREIGN in to a 52-page full color newspaper zine. Every pledge over $10 secures your own copy of SOVEREIGN; $20 gets you some special extras!
SOVEREIGN is a celebration of Drag kings and Queens in the Muskegon area, showing there's more to drag than just dressing up “girly.” SOVEREIGN shows drag as a celebration of life, as diverse and boundless.
Please consider supporting SOVEREIGN TODAY! Remember, Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform. If I don't hit the $3400 goal I get no money, and SOVEREIGN doesn't get printed.
THE DEADLINE IS AUGUST 3RD.

We only have 26 days left to fully fund SOVEREIGN!
THANK YOU to all of you who have already stepped up and pledged to support SOVEREIGN. 31 of you have already pledged $1635 of our $3400 goal. I am so thankful for the early support and kind words that many of you have shared supporting this kickstarter campaign. But we're not there yet!
If you are yet to pledge, may I encourage you to do so as soon as possible. Kickstarter is an ALL OR NOTHING crowdfunding framework, if I don't reach the goal, I don't get any of the money pledged. If you have learned about SOVEREIGN, and would like to support SOVEREIGN, but haven't yet pulled the trigger, please consider doing so TODAY! Remember each pledge over $10 gets their copy, pledges over $20 get a copy, and a few little extras.
Experience the vibrant celebration of small-town American drag culture with Sovereign - a captivating project waiting to be brought to life as a beautifully printed zine. Your support is crucial to making this colorful journey a tactile piece of art, showcasing the glitz, glamor, and heart of small-town American drag.
By backing this project, you're not just funding the printing of a magazine, you're gaining access to a world rarely experienced by the general public. Sovereign, a 52-page, 8x10 magazine bursting with color and life, offers a glimpse into a vibrant culture of stereotype-smashing, performance art.
Your contribution will help print 2000 copies of Sovereign and ensure this mesmerizing journey reaches art enthusiasts, drag fans, and curious minds alike. Plus, any support over $10 secures your copy of Sovereign. (Retail price at the end of the campaign will be $15)

THANK YOU all for supporting this work, and joining me on this journey. But we're not there yet.
We need to spread the word! Today I'm printing out flyers and posters to promote SOVEREIGN around my hometown, but I know the reality of advertisement is digital. The way to spread the word, the way to spread SOVEREIGN, is through those screens. So, will you support me again, and use your digital channels to promote SOVEREIGN to your friends and families?
By sharing this Kickstarter link through your social networks, you will introduce new people to me and my work and hopefully, bring about the full funding of SOVEREIGN!
Thank you again for your support of my work. I can't do this without you.
