Pride, painting, and plot twists | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.9
Pride month in Copenhagen, which brought up All The Feelings for me - the joyful, the complicated, and the ones I'm still untangling. Plus a queer art show, a gloriously boundary-fucking burlesque, some ridiculously exciting (and terrifying) news, and a return to painting after a break.
The outsider history of black & white stripes
Everyone thinks of Tim Burton when they see black and white stripes, but there’s a hell of a lot more to the story than that. Join me for my first ever video essay exploring the 700+ year history of how the stripe was used to mark outsiders, and how outsiders reclaimed it as their own.

When order and anarchy live together

What goes up, must come down | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.7
The comedown after a social extravaganza, and the slow climb back up. A month of quiet studio days, my summer solstice ritual, Sankt Hans Fest, a drag show and the cats (as always). Essential elements in the gentle art of tending oneself back to life.
Websites as art & resistance, film-making, and Iranian activists
The weeks that were: June 14th - 27th
It’s a Pisces moon thing
In this video I head to the beach to gather seaweed, shells, and inspiration for my latest Friends of the Haus zine - a love letter to summer memories by the water, made from old sketchbook pages, hand drawn lettering, and a lot of feelings (it's my Pisces moon!).
