FRUIT CAKE
Fruit Cake Tattoo Studio (2022 - Current)
In charge of overseeing all aspects of visual identity for the tattoo studio that I run with several other tattooers in Neukolln, Berlin.
Fruit Cake is a queer-ran, community-led studio, and whilst its primary use is for the resident tattoo artists, the studio also functions as a space for events, pop-ups, markets and gallery shows to fundraise for our chosen charities and community projects.
The logo was birthed out of Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels from the 70s, including type from the works of Roger Dean and Art Deco inspired works from Rick Griffin.
I wanted to add sense of softness into the design, but also balance this with a touch of surrealism and edge. Midjourney’was the catalyst to creating a series of decadent, isolated alien cakes that formed the foundation to the overall aesthetic to the collective.

Transcodiert aims to provide a platform for queer authors and to enrich the literary landscape with queer stories and narratives. they want to showcase how creative, beautiful, profound, warm, and intelligent the writing and artistic expression of queer, non-binary, intersex*, trans*, and questioning individuals can be.
