So far in 2025, my art has been a mixture of beauty and anger, much like the last time the Liar-in-Chief came to power in the United States. The difference is that my 2017 portraits of Trump didn’t end up on the street like this one, but on a book cover and in Newsweek.

At the beginning of the year, I released a 13th anniversary edition of Crime Against Nature, which comes with a new preface detailing my journey with this project as well as 2025’s challenges to our enduring queerness.
