Jonathan Busch

Jonathan Busch is a proud Edmontonian creator. By day, Busch is an EPL librarian; by night, he transforms into the glamorous Lourdes.

“I think that’s one brilliant element about drag is that it has, against my will, crafted for me a fictional character out of my own skin and ideas about living. That and I get to become a sexy bombshell like the ones I idolized from my childhood.” - Jonathan Busch, Creative Mornings, June 14th, 2018

Jonathan has recently released YEGUE, an adult colouring book celebrating the best of Edmonton drag! Busch also creates colourful digital artwork depicting legendary and contemporary icons of drag culture on his instagram @lourdesthemerryvirgin
