It Gets Better Project
For our Layout Design and Static Image class at Emily Carr, we were asked to do a poster for a non-profit organization. I chose the It Gets Better Project which is an American, online-based support community for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning individuals. This poster was meant to inspire struggling LGBT teens to keep living and I hope it’ll bring a smile to whoever’s looking at it. I’m saying this from personal experience, life DOES get better :)
The actual poster incorporates a rivet, allowing the viewer to “spin” the world around.
we LOVE this! Thank you itsrokoportfolio for this awesome creation.

Honored to make up 1/4 of the portrait for The Advocate’s Black Queer And American cover (other faces include fellow The Out List stars Twiggy Pucci Garcon, Wanda Sykes & Wade Davis).
The cover story, "Black, LGBT, American", was written by my dear brother Darnell L. Moore.
There’s also a wonderful piece by Laverne Cox on her journey as a black trans woman, where she shouts out Dr. Kortney Ryan Ziegler’s film Still Black: A Portrait of Black Trans Men.

My dear lgbt+ kid,
I kept this message in my drafts for a long time because it’s so kind - and also because it reminds me that I am doing my best to support people.
I tend to feel guilty for not doing more, for just writing silly little letters on tumblr. Your message really provides a different perspective: I took time to make a whole blog just to share love and comfort! Yay, me!
Seriously, thankyou <3
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
