These pieces now become mosaic tiles for his fashion creations called wearable art-fashion, Avant-garde glitz and glam from reclaimed fashion accessories. For creative inspiration and collaboration, the LGBTQ artist muses with “Mugshott Cheryl”, a full-length mannequin, and together they create amazing artwork, selling for from $200 to $2,000 or more.

In a recent Q Magazine interview, the creator said, “Everything comes from estate sales, antique markets and great friends. I’m inspired by Southern women, the silhouette of formal military uniforms, and the 1800s Victorian era”. And his approach is inherently queer. Addison continued, “Being gay influences my art in the way that I’m just a gay man being himself 100%. I feel like I owe it to my younger self to express my artistic side, a side that was too feminine to express.”
