1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don’t see many of “the brightest and the best” among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families.

Olly Costello’s bright collages delighted me when I first clipped them out of Geez Magazine. They are a white queer illustrator, PIC abolitionist, food growing enthusiast, and community seed saver. “I find direction and purpose in recognizing the power our radical imaginations have in shaping the world we live in,” Olly writes. “I hope my work can be a small contributing part of creating our new culture, grounded in honoring the inherent sacredness of all beings and pushing us beyond violent cultures.” Discover their inspiring work on socials and at https://ollycostello.com/
