they/them Sticker gremlin, mural conjurer, and skeleton doodler. Art fueled by bugs, queerness, and the pure chaos of existence. i used to work in comms for a political org so maybe we met there https://linktr.ee/catrocketship for more art
My favorite billboard campaign is the man marrying his basset hound.
I've been loving #bloomscrolling posts, so here's mine. Queen Lime Blush zinnias for my wife (who loves green flowers). They have almost impossibly perfect petals. and after a late start, the butterflies have finally arrived. 🌸🦋

I keep coming back to this Baldwin quote (whose birthday is today) because it refuses exceptions. The children are always ours. Not only the ones who look like us or act the way we want or live near us. All of them.
