An introduction to a few characters created throughout the year by the artist. The QUEER REAPER inspired by the grim reaper, being a notable figure in many religions and mythologies, wearing an androgynous outfit wielding a Scythe comes down in a flamboyant, joyful entrance. The Queer Reaper enters with the aide of explosive french bombs called BOOMs that release colorful smoke and pigment powder that stains everything it touches. The FLOOF flowers made of soft light of color surround the scene as its shield and joy. A self insert of the artist is also prominent that is manifested by the BOOM smoke that signifies the spread of (queer) joy no matter the limitations that oppose it.

DEMOCRACY V.S. FASCISM was made illustrating the battle of democracy and fascism and when fascism is at the corner about to be defeated. The scene shows not just queer joy but humanity joy exploding against hate and fascism. The painting was completed the morning of the 2024 election day before the results came out that night.
After Donald Trump and the fascist administration won the presidency the painting became a foreshadowing of what is to come for the United States. The next 4 years would be uncharted territory and challenging for everyone.
