Edie Fake was born in 1980, and is an American artist and transgender activist who works primarily creates gauche and ink paintings and murals. 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.
