I’m a queer-identified artist who enjoys drawing queer-identified beings. The person in this drawing isn’t me, but my lovely boy/girl friend. Anyway, if there are any Baltimore or DC-based queerlings who would be interested in being drawn feel free to send me a message! -Cheers, Arc.
Now little Hans was always strange
Wearing women’s underthings
His father beat him but he wouldn’t change
He ran off with a man one day
Now his lingerie is all the rage
In the black on every page
His father proudly calls his name
Down there in the Reeperbahn.One day I will illustrate every single one of Tom Waits’ perfect, perfect songs.

Blogger every-inch-but-one asked us to point out that “The image description lists them as drag queens, but they’re not just drag queens, They’re Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. They’re a group dedicated to doing charity, protest and other awesome things, and they do really awesome work. They should be given the respect and recognition that they deserve.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqvkpjMofQ1qak0qdo1_500.jpg)

This piece is called “Saturday Evening Glitter” by Daniel Funkhouser. His show “Cacophrodisiac” opens tonight at eye lounge in Phoenix. The show explores gender and sexuality, and I love how open Daniel is about it all. He also has been DJing for my fundraisers. He’s a beautiful soul, and if you’re in the Phoenix area, I really suggest you check out his art.
I don’t really feel any connection to being either gender, I feel like I can be both at once or either. And that’s evident in the show, there are a lot of figures that have both masculine and feminine characteristics at the same time.

Even though I first saw Paul’s artwork on a dinky iphone screen, it did not cease to shock me. The detailed drawing was of a pair of delicate hands wrapped around a flaccid penis. Initially I thought, ‘maybe Paul just has that dick drawing obsession like Seth from Superbad,’ but now that I’ve seen more of him and his work, I understand what he’s getting at. Paul is presenting an alternative take on the male body and notions of gender by using conventional art forms like drawing and etching to depict counter cultural ideas.

Ok, everybody has to go read about Paul RIGHT NOW
“Black Gay Poet, or Gay Black Poet, or Poet” by Dante Micheaux
I was an undergraduate when José Muñoz was just beginning to make a name for himself. His book DISIDENTIFICATIONS: QUEERS OF COLOR AND THE PERFORMANCE OF POLITICS was all the rage in my circle and off they went, my Queer friends, to put Muñoz’s theory into practice. I never could get behind disidentifying. I wanted all the identities at once. In some respects, I still do. I much enjoy telling the world, when it gets up in face, “Yes. I am that, too. And what?” When I think about being a poet, however, I have to question which aspect of my multidentity is responsible for that being. If I were not Black, I would still be a poet but I do not believe my being a poet would be possible if I were not a homosexual. My sexuality was the catalyst for childhood introspection and, having to keep a major part of myself hidden, forced me to hone my powers of observation. I had to be aware of everything around me, to protect myself when I thought no one else would. As the images and language began to commandeer the synapses, an outlet was needed. Poetry. I think all poets must have an experience that makes them see themselves outside the center of things. For me, it was the gift of homosexuality–for which I am eternally grateful.
