#finding my audience

Recently I was asked why I tag all of my art with #disabled artist and #queer artist and I figured I would share the reason.

As a queer and disabled person, I strive to make the art I need. Art that helps me feel seen, safe, and loved.

When I make this art for myself I am also making it for others. I think of the other disabled people who are stuck in bed and can’t get up. I think of the other queer people feeling scared by the world right now.

I think of my younger self. A boy who felt invisible, and used art as an escape.

By tagging the way I do, it helps me know that my art is reaching its intended audience.

Thank you for all your love and support. 🤍
