A personal loss and the rash of suicides among young gay individuals in the US has prompted the creation of a two-sided poster as the latest project by art collective 2-UP .
No More Suicides is a collaboration between Adam Shecter (who founded 2-UP last year with partner Joe Winter) and poet Matthea Harvey, who suffered the loss of a friend at their own hand.
“One side is fantasy; Matthea’s poem imagines a fox constellation that looks after kids, and I draw an imaginary mascot for a LGBT kids TV show,” says Shecter.
