Justin Demeter (he/him) is a queer/trans artist and poet living in Oakland CA. He derives great pleasure from making pretty and provocative things and then putting them in your hands and heart.
By day Justin works in publishing, selling mental health and spirituality books. His art is also inspired by topics of mental health, as well as gender, queerness, nature, and the occasional mythical creature. He has been published in Trans Bodies, Trans Selves 2nd Edition (Oxford University Press), We Apologize for the Inconvenience (Beyond the Veil Press), and Issue 3 (new words press).
Justin's shop: is extremely homegrown... all prints and cards are printed and hand-cut per order and will ship within a week. your patience, ideas, and support are much appreciated during this new growth phase. 🤍
