Calpernia Addams 3
May 29th, 2009
Part of a series I took last week. I call this one “Executive Realness!”

This was the final episode of her show before it goes on hiatus. Please contact Dina to learn more about how you can help preserve local media activism in San Francisco.

APA “gender identity disorder” protest poster
May 7th, 2009
Here’s something I put together for the upcoming APA protests. You can learn more at:

I wanted to make something with a 1973 kind of feel, to echo the historic APA decision in 1973 to depathologize homosexuality. The trick here was to explain a complicated issue and a lot of information succinctly.
