“To me, "Pride" is a bittersweet topic. As an erotic gay artist, Pride is an annual holiday, in which I get invited to participate in Pride themed art shows, but always on the condition that I submit family friendly art. I am grateful to be invited and included, but resentful that I must censor myself to participate. Especially in this modern era, I find that I have less and less places to share my art with the world, both digital and physical. But it's important to me to make art that depicts gay sex as something that can be fun, silly, and joyful.”
