Terrell Villiers is a multi-disciplinary visual artist, designer, and producer currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Recognized internationally for their cartoon illustrations, where they explore the nuance of identity, through the intersectionality of Black Queerness and Transness.

Villiers’ work explores themes of community, resistance, grief and awakening. Luring us into cycles and threaded patterns one must face and untangle to find their authentic self. Conjuring up visual narratives to uplift fluid, intergenerational and inter-sectional embodiments of Black Queerness, reflecting boundless autonomy and depicting kaleidoscopic nuances of the Black Trans experience. An incredible approach to archiving the narrative and broadening the possibilities for future movements.

Villiers formerly served as the Art Director of MASISI, a Queer Afro-Caribbean collective and platform based in Miami, that uses a range of events and programming to explore the queer histories and lineages of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. 

In their freelance work, Villiers has been featured in a series of different publications, as well as, alongside different brands and organizations such as: Apple, HBO Max, Gucci, Vogue Italia, It’s Nice That!, The Black Joy Project, Cultured Magazine, Kaleidoscope Magazine, BULLY Magazine, FORGOTTEN LANDS, Nosesso, L’Enchanteur,  B4 Sounds Records, and more.
