With this project, I wanted to create an almost abstract piece with chalk pastel and black paper. With my last project, I really enjoyed how much planning I was able to put into it, especially since it made the actual production rate so much better. Unfortunately since we have so little time for this project I wasn't able to put in as much planning as I had originally anticipated, but I am enjoying using and exploring this new medium in a more free way. Coach Hall did inform me of an unfortunate fact: using black chalk pastel only dulls the intensity of the colors, and I had already put down large amounts of black since I wanted to create darker shades of all the colors to make the scene more mysterious. My game plan now is to just blend it out and put down different more prominent colors to try and add some intense color back.

He is currently best known for his award winning comic-zine series "Gaylord Phoenix". in 2002, Fake earned a B.F.A degree in Film, Animation, and Video from the rhode Island School of Design. He then worked as a film cutter for several years until going back to school at the Roski School of Art at the University of Southern California. He later became one of 7 students to drop out of the school (later known as the USC7) in protest to mistreatment by administration. In his work, Fake explores identity in the transgender and queer experience. His style is abstract and reminiscent of a fantasy, and he uses this style to redefine historical queer spaces.
