Made it through Father’s Day without tears! 🎉

4th year of “celebrating” Father’s Day since trying to become a father for real.

Keeping the faith, hope by 2026 I’ll be able to celebrate for real.

In the meantime, your support of my art helps to ensure I’m able to proceed when I get that call! ♥️

What an incredible Pride weekend. Here I am at Philly Pride.

Can’t believe how far I’ve come in just over 2 years. So many products, so much energy and comfort being myself and finding my place in queer spaces ♥️🏳️‍🌈

I was reminded of my growth constantly this weekend

Also on a personal note it’s my first time going to ANY kink/leather event since being into leather dads and bears since I was 13…

I’m very nervous and very excited! If you’re going to Bears Bikers and Mayhem, feel free to reach out and say hey before this weekend!

Could use some friendly faces!

🐻🏍️😈
If you’re headed to BBM this weekend, make sure to stop by the Vendor Mart and check us out! 🛍️

I’ll have plenty of shirts and kinky queer art prints too, so grab some sexy souvenirs to take home (well, ones that aren’t inside your body…😜)
