DESIGN FOR REV. DAVID WEEKLEY

I was commissioned to make a design that would promote the book In From the Wilderness, by Reverend David Weekley. The book chronicles his journey coming out as a transgender minister within the United Methodist Church. After reading the book, which is pretty much about his whole life, I felt compelled to make something big and complex that would symbolize the many different aspects of his personal story. The book is excellent and I cannot recommend it enough.


The plan was for this to appear on t-shirts. We are still working out the logistics of getting it printed. I will provide updates and a link to buy when we get it all sorted out. In the meantime, this was a very important project for me personally. David was standing up for equality and social justice years before he told the world he is transgender, and he and his wife Deborah continue to fight for the civil rights of all people. I am extremely proud to be able to work with them.
