Self-described as the “Cheesecake Factory of drag,” his performance style celebrates the tropes of masculinity in history and media—with influences ranging from Shakespeare and Elizabethan England to the wild world of 2010s Tumblr. 🎭

What a great Flame Con. Always suputb to spend a weekend surrounded by queers, but to also be part of a wonderful panel with some of my favorite people in comics, to have sold all the books I brought with me, *and* to have met so many people my books have meant so much to was an unmitigated delight.

This year's Flame Con was a huge step up for me professionally. Not only did I sell enough and profit off my table, but I also got to meet a variety of peers in the industry and do several art trade with friends. It honestly felt like a better year than before and I hope to return next year.

So in case you were wondering about the vibes at Flame Con, one attendee was dressed as the time that Fabio was on a roller coaster and killed a seagull when it collided with his face. (Complimentary)
