Oh look, an big ugly block of text! I've been drawing all my life. I can't remember when I started but it was early. I've always been intrigued and inspired by animation and comics. My earliest influences were Charles Shultz's Peanuts and later, X-Men comic books. It didn't take very long for me to start drawing erotic images. Even before junior high, I was drawing nude Disney men in my sketchbooks.
In these past few years, I’ve become a bit of a drag hag. Even before RuPaul’s Drag Race, I religiously went to Mimi Imfurst‘s and Peppermint‘s shows all around NYC. RPDR is great because it’s pushing this hitherto under-appreciated form of entertainment into the mainstream.
In 3 seasons of the show, however, none of the contestants have seemed to inspire me as much as Raja, winner of Season 3. I love that Raja thinks of
drag as art, first and foremost.
I think it’s important that little-known art forms (particularly queer ones) become more visible. Then and only then will the masses begin to accept queer artists, and thusly, queers in general.
So yeah… that and Raja is
fierce as all hell.
