If you’re curious to learn more about my creative practice, check out my art blog - it’s where I make announcements about new projects I’m working on and aim to demystify the creative process for BIPOC creators. I update it often and use this platform to link back to it about once a month.

Keep it chill in the comments. Harassment of any shape or size is not tolerated. I don’t clap back - I block.
¿Who is drawing all these hot dogs?
I'm a queer Chicana writer, artist and director in Chicago, IL. 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. After a successful seven years at TinyLetter, I decided to challenge myself by trying out Substack!
You can learn more about the different kinds of art I make or contact me at www.allysongonzalez.com and follow me on instagram @gonzalezpublicartmuseum. Are you into sexy doom pop music? If so, check out my solo act - House of Egregious.
Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe out there <3
