From the tender age of childhood, Cody's affinity for art served as a conduit for self-discovery and connection.

His art became a canvas for narratives of joy, intimacy, and diversity, challenging stereotypes and championing representation for individuals of all backgrounds and identities.

At the heart of Cody's art lies a celebration of sexual pleasure and diversity. "I like depicting the joys of sex, how fun it can be," he shares passionately.

Cody's work in adult modeling marked a pivotal moment of evolution in his creative journey. "As I've become more public with my sexuality, it's also bled into my work," he reflects. Embracing his sexuality without shame or guilt, Cody found newfound freedom in his artistic endeavors. His art became a testament to self-expression and liberation, resonating with audiences far beyond the confines of the adult entertainment industry.

Collaborating with The Pride Store, Cody can amplify his voice within both the LGBTQ+ community and the broader sphere of advocacy. "Having my art sold on The Pride Store holds special significance for me. It feels really cool to share my perspective with the queer community," he expresses.

In addition to his collaboration with The Pride Store, Cody's partnership with the Free Speech Coalition underscores his unwavering commitment to advocacy. "There's been a very conservative resurgence in terms of policing our sexuality and limiting our free speech," he observes. By supporting the coalition, Cody stands as a staunch advocate for the rights and freedoms of individuals within the adult entertainment industry, ensuring that their voices are heard and their expressions remain unrestricted.

Looking to the future, Cody is eager to explore new horizons in his artistic journey. "I want to work on more collage, Mosaic-style designs," he reveals. His vision extends beyond mere aesthetics; Cody envisions his art as a catalyst for meaningful conversations and connections. "I think it'd be perfect for Pride," he adds, envisioning his creations as symbols of solidarity and empowerment.
