Barbershop: The Art of Queer Failure, 30” x 40” screen-print, (limited edition S/B edit 2024).

The poster is hand-drawn and screen printed in the style of iconic barbershop posters. But instead of showcasing various versions of hetero-patriarchal, cisnormative, masculinity masquerading as haircuts, this poster images queer and trans culture producers, artists, and scholars of various sexual and gender orientations that all have short, barbered hairstyles. Aiming to point out that a barbershop is ostensibly about clipper style haircuts, not about the covert maintenance of essentialist ideas about masculinity, anyone of any gender can have a clipper style haircut.
