Vivacious PinUps

Parker & Quinn bar sketches

Vivacious PinUps

fun fact:
I have been friends with the Vivacious Miss Audacious for almost ten years now. I new her before that fateful day she first hooped a hoop.
I'm working on a series of pinups of the lady (because who doesn't like a good pinup, and the lass needs some new merch)

obviously, this is not a pinup. this is but a portrait
pinups to be posted soon
much love, team

Jinkx Monsoon for life!

hey team,
oddly enough, this season I have become very emotionally invested in RuPaul's Drag Race. I knew three episodes deep that not only did I want Jinkx Monsoon to win, but that she was my favorite of ALL TIME.
She's such an old-school gifted performer in so many ways. She tells jokes, she sings songs, she dances, she has big personality, and she seems to be a genuine sweetheart off stage as well.
Since RuPaul is having a social media write-in campaign to determine the winner I did a drawing of Jinkx Monsoon to post in all the various formats online to show my support.

. 

you may recognize the pattern as the same fabric from this oil painting I did of my best friend Gordie. I scanned it in with a little bit of ripple and wave hoping that the texture of the scan itself would imply a curtain on the background. 

Here it is with the just the brushwork and no digital shenanigans:

now get out there and tweet #TeamJinkx while there is still time!
