To celebrate Pride Month, Vans is seeked to highlight their ongoing commitment to advocating for the community by spotlighting four LGBTQIA+ creators. Vans partnered with each creator to provide them with a global platform to showcase their art and what it means to their identity.
Creative Drinking worked to bring in two artists from North America to be highlighted for the project. Artists included painter, designer and printmaker Mich Miller whose work focuses on murals and installations that reference cultural metaphors, symbols and saturated colors to bring the message to life. Mich’s practice is greatly informed by their interest in abstraction and queer history and theory.
As well as Sam McGuire a photographer, skateboarder and creative director who has perfected his craft over the past decade shooting for skateboard magazines worldwide. Since coming out in 2014, he worked as a queer advocate for the skateboard community to promote inclusivity throughout skate culture.
