Queer Day | Designed by @heyrooney⁠ | (they/them)⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 😊 Rooney is an illustrator from Salt Lake City, Utah that mixes graphic and pop art. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Their case design is based on the nostalgic “Have a Nice Day” shopping bags. Rooney spends a lot of time pouring over ephemera (collectible memorabilia)!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ "I love getting inspired to reimagine a concept, capturing its vibe but queering it.” ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 🤳 As someone who is a tattoo enthusiast, they view a phone case as a similar medium; An opportunity to make a design part of your daily life. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 🏳️‍🌈 For Rooney, Pride is about self-determination. “I celebrate the freedom to live how I want, but also the collective freedom and diversity and beauty of the queer community.” ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ How will they be celebrating Pride?⁠⁠ 🥰 “Taking time to learn about and be thankful for my queer ancestors and spending good, gay, quality time with as much of my chosen family as possible.”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠#PelaPattiePride #BraveTrails #Pride #Rainbow #LGBTQIA2SPlus #Queer #LoveIsLove #LoveWins #PrideMonth #HappyTrails #IntersectionalEnvironmentalism
