Gregory Messenger

I'm a queer trans man, he him, artist, musician, and puppeteer, living in Tulsa Oklahoma with my three beautiful kids and my partner.

I hope with my art to create space for trans people like me who feel invisible and unheard, as well as speak out for all those oppressed by hate. I create dysphoria art mostly, from my nightmares and experiences living in two very conservative states as a trans man. I make stop motion films. My influences are Lynch, Harryhausen, Cronenburg, and early stop motion silent films.

I was inspired by the work of Murnau, Lynch, Harryhausen, and Cronenburg. I started drawing in high school and college, started painting, learning to sculpt, and taught myself how to make stop motion films growing up on movies like "Jason and the Argonauts," and discovering stop motion horror in early films like "The Cameraman's Revenge."
