Jason Haaf and Scooter LaForge join The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to discuss their bold new queer art novel WASTELAND — a boundary-breaking collaboration that redefines storytelling through visual art, poetry, and raw emotional expression. Born from an organic creative partnership, the book blends painting, prose, collage, and personal reflection into an immersive experience exploring queer intimacy, identity, desire, and the complexities of human connection. Together, these visionary artists have created a work that feels less like a traditional novel and more like a living, breathing artistic landscape.

We dive into their creative process, the power of collaboration, and how WASTELAND challenges expectations of both literature and visual art. From the spontaneous beginnings of their partnership to the deeply personal themes that shape the work, Jason and Scooter share insight into creating fearless queer art that pushes boundaries and sparks conversation. A fascinating, thought-provoking chat about creativity, expression, and the transformative power of art.
