This Pride month, we're celebrating LGBTQ+ artists across the creative spectrum. We highlighted some LGBTQ+ comics creators previously,<\/a> but today we want to focus on someone whose work is so inspiring to us: Kevin Cortez<\/a>. Cortez is a graphic designer based in Los Angeles, California, who is currently Graphics & Multimedia Specialist for the Translatin@ Coalition<\/a> (TLC). The TLC is an organization that empowers, advocates for, and supports transgender, gender expansive, and intersex immigrants in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sent him a Wacom Movink<\/a> to try, and he sent back the video below showing how perfect it is for his merchandise design work for the TLC! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
