My Long Lost Twin Brother

DAY 7

In this one I was interested in making the gayest possible hand gesture in the world. See if you can spot it! XXXOOOWOLF

DAY 6

DAY 5

This one I was interested in having most of the action happen in the middle of the picture plane, as it's been sort of all over the place and pretty cropped in the other ones. Plus I like the peeper that is peeking!

DAY 3

In this one I was thinking more about dominance and submission in terms of the model and the artist. I was also thinking more about writing as a drawing tool, and also being used simultaneously as a tool of hiding and revealing. And even the concept of words (i feel often used to reveal in art, i.e. a title) being used back on itself to hide.

I WANT CHINEEEESE FOOD

SHIRA SHIRA SHIRA

With this one (why is this underlined???) I was thinking about zoning out again (Where Shira's chin meets her neck on the right side is an example) and also putting in floaters, like the mouths above and to the right. Lately I'm not interested in asking whoever I'm drawing to sit still, or not talk. Like the drawing is just something that happens while we're hanging out, and shows where I went while that was happening.

Day 2

As you all can tell I finally put up pictures of the art I've been doing lately. This is Day 2 of my funaday, doing something artistic/documenting something for the month of january. It's a philly wide thing, and I'm psyched to see other peoples in the exhibit. SO in this series I'm thinking a lot about dominance and submission and the figure, artist, model, viewer and various gazes. In this one I was thinking about what total submission would look like, that's why I erased out their face, and cropped it so the face wouldn't be in the picture plane. Also why I stamped "Day 2" on his ass. Who's in a dominant position the artist or the figure? I'm also interested in generally approaching the picture plane in a non-hierarchical way, and running over whatever's precious, while zoning out and letting new things happen I don't realize. I wish I had more space, and that I had a huge ass piece of paper to move all around on, and do my funaday on and go over and over the figure again and again. Maybe because I'm feeling drawing as a tnagible way of connecting memories through time and space. A process of remembering and always forgetting (ZONING OUT). Funny I'm going under too, just in a different space than Clay is.

Day 1

Hey heyyyy - so in this drawing, my day 1 for my funaday, I was thinking about sexualized queer and trans figures. My funaday is also documenting somone else's funaday, which is them jerking it 31 different ways for the 31 days of January (YEAAAAH). I've also been really into using text as a drawing tool, I think I'm onto something with the uhuhuhuhuhUHUHUHUHuh's at the bottom of the page.

Shira's Shirt

Hand Clap

With this one I was really into making Shira a shirt to perform in. GLAM GLAM GLAM RAWK. Plus I love that she can give her shirt a high-5 on stage. YEAH!

Snip Snip

With this drawing I was thinking about gender transformation and gender signifiers. I thought it was funny/interesting how the cut hair was falling onto his chest and making chest hair. Also I placed the scissors on the chest to talk about surgery (duh) and the feels good is obvi. I was also into the double mirrors, I feel the self inspection when I look at my trans body in front of a mirror, and then I feel the microscopic public mirror when I step out my door, and these things all float around my head while I'm getting dressed, cutting my hair, or doing other gender loaded things.

My Gay Best Friend

Spark Asleep

Schwule

Gay wedding present I was commissioned for. Here's the statement I wrote to go with it.

I think of fabric as a part of the body. We touch it and it clings to us, following our movements, soaking our sweat and tears. I feel a physical trauma of the body in space, so I tear the fabric, ripping it and combining it along its faultlines. That stacking and touching of different fabric pieces become body touches, representing the touching of bodies in space. The stitching is a healing element that joins them and soothes their and my body pain. These clothes I find are echos of unknown people, I touch them through their their forgotten clotheselves and we heal each other through space and time, and with no names. The two pieces of red and pink fabric in the lower right corner are an abstraction of the upside down pink triangle queers were forced to wear during the holocaust. Their joining signifies mutual support, queer healing, and love in the face of hatred and ignorance. I hope you have a great wedding and all the best for your marriage.
