It's a Drag


Yeah, over the past three years I've been wrestling with the fear of messing up on a painting that I know has the potential to be absolutely gorgeous. Today I finished it. It's a portrait of my favorite drag queen Peaches Christ. I was having lunch with my friend Jen who works at Glamarama and she's successfully convinced me to have an art show there. It's a huge salon which also is home to large walls that need to be filled with awesome tacky velvet art. So, I'm going to book the show, and then work my ass off for the next year to produce as many velvet paintings as humanly possible to attempt to fill up this amazing space. Let's see if I can do it!

  1. tight. drag queens are rad and everything, but drag queen art is pretty much a whole different level of rad.

    sounds like a groovy art show. can't wait.
