The Back Story

Queer Past

Queer Pop Culture

This is one painting in a previous assignment to reference pop culture. From the history of media to its place in our culture now, queer presence has always been heavily impactful on the world of art and performance. Queer artists who create all the behind the scenes magic of the media industry we know and love have been inspired by old glamorous Hollywood stars that influenced the ballroom and queer art scenes, so queer life and media contribute towards each other.

* This creation is framed.
