Geeks OUT, modHERO
Artist, Organizer
Los Angeles, California
Josh Siegel is an artist, writer and musician known for drawing pensive portraits of superheroes under the name modHERO. He helped create Geeks OUT as a way to raise the profile of LGBT+ people in fan culture, making fandoms more fun, inclusive and safe for queer geeks of all types. He is also the co-creator of Flame Con, where he served as creative lead and programming director. After stepping down from the board of Geeks OUT in late 2016, he went on to co-write and art-direct Serving Pride, the Queer History Dinner Party Handbook, and currently heads the Los Angeles chapter of Geeks OUT. Raised on 80s movies and the X-Men, he holds the core belief that outcasts can do anything if they organize.
