-historical or from the future
-real or fictional
-writers, activists, musicians, performers, yr mama

What??? This sounds AMAZING! How can all my q/tpoc friends & I get involved???

Step 1. Choose a q/tpoc hero
Step 2. Draw or photoshop an image of yr hero
Deets: 2 or 3 solid colours (no shades please!)
Hand drawn, computer drawn, digital images or painted photographs - all formats are welcome.
Step 3. Email yr beautiful image to mtlskillshare@gmail.com by December 15th!
With your submission tell us: Who your hero is & why? Who you are & attach yr contact info.

If sending a digital image, please send in jpeg, tif or psd format, at least 200 dpi (prefer 300). (layers separated by colour are optional but helpful). We'll do our best to use the colours and images as you've submitted them, but please note that we may need to make adjustments in order to use them in a silkscreening kind of way.

Here are some examples of silkscreened prints, and some of the sources of inspiration for this series:
