Painting Myself Green on a Construction Site (and Unlearning Masculinity) | Part 1

Honestly, the way I describe it kind of changes day to day.

I would say that in a very broad sense, the clothes that I make kind of fit somewhere between, like, drag, street wear, and kind of, like, queer, over-the-top, artistic clothing.
