I started a Substack and wrote about my sketchbook practice. It’s also where I’ll be sharing info on new type releases, speaking and teaching spots, and new work. If that’s your thing! heykyle.substack.com/p/drawing-as...

A line drawing of a drag performer losing their wig when an unruly branch snaps it off her head as she walks underneath.
A line drawing of a femme presenting person with one boob falling to the waist.
Mid-century line drawing of a femme in lingerie. She is fastening her corset as a lemon falls out of her bra
Some of my favorite illustrations I've ever seen, via lavenderzines.com. A curated, scanned archive of mid-century queer rags, this is where I go to quell some of my 2025-related fears.

Black and white sketchbook image with pops of orangey red depicting buildings in Brooklyn. On the left, a stack of silos and signs, on the right a graffiti’d van sits in front of a house.
A black and white sketchbook page with red highlights. It shows the exterior of a pizza shop in Brooklyn, next to a subway stop.
An hour of sketchbook time keeps the dread (ever so slightly) at bay.

Speaking at TypeCon 2023 about the power of drag, and the anti-capitalist, communal-healing lessons that design could perhaps learn from.
