I’m a wildly strange queer<br />

designer, drag king, and artist<br />

of sorts.<br />

On July 27th of 1988, I popped<br />

out of the womb and into the<br />

world. As I was growing up I<br />

began developing an interest<br />

in art...and women. This would<br />

have gone over much better if I<br />

had grown up anywhere other<br />

PEPPER XIV<br />

than a small-minded farming<br />

community in Saskatchewan.<br />

When I found out our family was<br />

moving to Medicine Hat, I’m not<br />

sure you could find a teenager as<br />

excited about moving as I was.<br />

Fast forward to today, I am<br />

currently enrolled in the Visual<br />

Communications Program at<br />

the Medicine Hat College. After<br />

graduating from the program,<br />

I hope to pursue a career in<br />

graphic design.<br />

The creation of a <strong>book</strong> was<br />

required by my typography class<br />

but was very much inspired by<br />

queer history. I only learned a<br />

very small fraction of the history<br />

and hope to learn so much more<br />

in the future.<br />
