thrilled to share a few illustrations i created for this year’s Toronto Pride festival! i was asked to explore the past few decades of Toronto’s history. for the first piece, i gathered a crew of local icons, past and present, and depicted them all hanging together on the old Church Street steps. for the second piece, i paid specific tribute to the late legendary drag performer Michelle Ross, and the various local venues she performed at over her decades-long career. the third piece was made for Pride’s virtual Alternaqueer event, showing supernatural drag creatures emerging from the rubble of our shuttered cityscape.
huge thanks to Primeau and everyone at Pride for this opportunity.
