I've been experimenting with using my art more for social and political issues that are important to me.
Cryptids and monsters- especially Mothman- have long been part of queer culture. It’s not hard to see why LGBTQ+ folks would find a connection with creatures that are often misunderstood and feared.
Here I made a flyer with Mothman featuring resources for transgendered and nonbinary history, media and culture.
Here are links to each of these sites in case you have difficulty reading the poster.
