¿Who is drawing all these hot dogs?
I'm a queer Chicana writer, artist, director and musician living on the coast of SW Michigan. Founder of the international holiday Thankyoutine's Day, I encourage you to celebrate often and help spread the word by sending a Thankyoutine today!
I've spent over half my life on stage, from tap dancing to shadow puppetry, poetry readings to performance art - theatricalities have always been my biggest passion. For the last decade, my main artistic focus has been puppeteering and fabricating - mostly tabletop plays, shadows and crankies, all built with upcycled materials. Ran some grassroots orgs for BIPOC artists, made some zines to help save the bees and filmed some stop-motion animation shorts. Recently I’ve been making animations, building DIY synths and making microfilms. You can learn more about the different kinds of art I make or contact me at www.allysongonzalez.com and instagram @allysongonzalezstudio.

Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe out there and let’s be good to each other <3
