#51 - Ace Troy: Life as a Transgender Artist
Black Bulb Podcast
04/25/19 • -1 min
With the recent passing of his beloved dog, Ace Troy decided it was time to let down some walls and allow people in. It has been a constant struggle most of his life hiding his secret and making sure that those who knew did not spread the word. Although he has known for the majority of his life, many did not, and he finally came out as trans over Instagram back in February. Ace Troy comes clean about growing up and knowing, trying to hide it, and his experience in trying to deal with it. A big reason he did not want it associated with him is he did not want it to affect his career. He claims he sees many artists exploit their queer or trans identity in order to further their careers, and that is not something he wanted to do, which is respectable. Tune in to hear all of his story, talk of sex work, and how his dog has forever changed his life.
As always, thank you to Cascade Street Distillery for always providing their delicious alcohol for the show. We certainly cannot have enough of it and wish for you to check them out if you have not!

His name, Iron Glacier, comes from Edward Abbey, his favorite author, because he has always been inspired by his work. As reading is a big part of Adam's practice, he appreciates Abbey's way with words. You may even look at one of Adam’s paintings and not realize it was inspired by one of Abbey’s quotes.Tune in to the episode to hear more about Adam Friedman to hear more about his life, his thoughts on art, and how he transitioned into tattooing.

Celeste Noche, a Portland-based photographer, joins Alex and Ben on Black Bulb Podcast this week. Five years ago, she left her job at a tech company in San Francisco and moved to Portland to pursue a career in photography. While here, she noticed a strange lack of diversity. She even wrote an article about it. With this thought, she created a series titled "Portland in Color," which eventually became a full-fledged website. This website aims to connect people of color throughout the art scene in Portland. Tune in to the episode to hear what she has to say!
Thanks as always to to Cascade Street Distillery for their delicious spirits!
