Eric Jennings, he/him, editor of Exist Otherwise Literary & Art Journal, which is inspired by the gender-non-conforming French artist Claude Cahun.

Disclosure: I'm a middle aged, cis-hetero, white male. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Avatar is a black outline drawing of a simple eye mask with a feather plume. Banner is an abstract black and white photo with geometric shapes and a cartoonish, moon-like face.
