‘Gay Life Drawing’ Melbourne isn’t just about drawing—it’s about creating a space where queer artists & models can connect & celebrate identity through art

In a media landscape that often sidelines fat, queer, & sex-positive stories, Joshua R Pangborn @joshuarpangborn.sidekickproductions.org is making sure they take center stage. In our latest issue, he opens up about his passion for storytelling & how his identity informs his work
