Feeling for all the trans folks in my life & community & wishing I had time to make some more art to process all the big feelings I’m having about the state of the world. For now I’ll be voting, holding my trans siblings extra tight, & sending Fords $200 bribe to an org that supports trans thriving.

A bit about me! My name is Eric J Van Giessen - I’m the artist behind Queero Gear! QG started as a way for me to rediscover my creativity while working on my PhD, and had grown into a small business centred around queer joy, pleasure/sex and connection.
