Each piece is a draft that evolves as I do.

Only A Rough Draft is a queer-owned creative brand by artist Justin Kyle Williams, offering hand-carved linocut prints, apparel, and storytelling-based artwork rooted in identity, resilience, and self-expression. Founded in 2024 but conceptually born in 2004 as a mixtape journal, Only A Rough Draft blends vintage aesthetics, queer identity, emotional honesty, discovery, reinvention, and evolution

Based in West Orange, NJ, the brand creates limited-edition prints, apparel, and accessories exploring themes of queer joy, gender roles/stereotypes, neurodivergence, mental health, vulnerability, emotional expression, and personal evolution. 

Only A Rough Draft invites you to reconnect with the parts of yourselves often edited out — live your truth fully, joyously, unapologetically, even as it shifts and evolves
