As an artist, Rafferty creates one-of-a-kind, handbound sketchbooks and journals incorporating queer aesthetics and thrifted materials.

As a writer, Rafferty's work dances the line between horror and magic. His stories center queer lives and argue that the queer experience is so much vaster than just coming out. You can find his work at your nearest time travelers' expo.

Rafferty lives in the urban Midwest with his wife and an undisclosed number of cats.
