Boys Do Cry

A zine paying homage to a personal Tumblr blog I conceived in 2010, during my teenage years when I was still in the closet. This blog served as a sanctuary where I could curate images with themes like masculinity, homosexuality, and mental health. It was a means for me to explore and come to terms with my own queer identity. Now, a decade later, I created a series of illustrations inspired by some of my favorite images from that blog, as a way to commemorate this significant platform.
