The Back Story

The Ogre

Inspired by Donny Mirassou in Dragging Faery Tales

Continuing my paintings inspired by looks from my show, Dragging Faery Tales, specifically the first season in 2022, this painting is inspired by California drag artist, Donny Mirassou, who portrayed an ogre in the Red Riding Hood challenge, referencing the faery tale's darker origins from when it was first told. Although this was his elimination episode, Donny still appeared throughout the season and won the title of Mx Congeniality, earning him performance spots on Seaosn 2 this past year.
