John's very Queer Space

Artist, Outlaw, Rebel, X-academic with a wide range of tastes and sensibilities -- Queerly different from the standard deviation... ...So upon which clothesline shall I hang my identity today? Pick from the rack, outfit myself in some uniform of non-conformity and let my ego take stage center. Still, I can't give it up yet and i still long to play with the fancy lights of my own self illusion.... EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Haven’t posted here in quite some time. “Louis in the Grass” is one of my latest pieces. I’ve already sold Edition 1/5, so feeling motivated to create & post more. Enjoy...

At the Pink Noise opening with my work and friends at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (http://lacda.com) ... Great show, open until August 10, so stop by if you’re in the neighborhood.

Had a great time at the Studio Door opening in San Diego on 6/3. The show runs through 6/25, so stop and by and check it out - GREAT stuff!

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey....

A bit of shameless self promotion... I'm working on a series of one page flyers to promote my art. Marketing myself is totally my least favorite task, but necessary to having one's work seen and possibly purchased. So here we go.... any advice on what works best for you is, of course, greatly appreciated!

[girl-tongue]

fuck same love. our love is braver you thought two by two, noah’s ark pink and blue you said go forth and multiply in between FAG in between DYKE we grew claws. you should have listened, we warned you underground, tooth and nail. we never fucked like you never looked like you, kids with fire bellies you cannot stomach stroking us timid, like battered tigers under your boot you said be gentle, wash your face soddom is still raspberry red in our cheeks, filthy and alive under our slick skins, years of ‘tuck in, fold’ quiet cringes at the dinner table, violent hands wrung tight in church you murderers. are you scared yet? can your hear us spilling, into your cracks and small mean silences stranger than you ever wanted us to be, open mouthed pierced-tongue deviance we have always threatened you on the street like saints, more beautiful than jesus and unmarketable this glory too bright, too ugly and you say ‘girl?’ you say ‘boy?’ we say you are not safe and you have never been we say we will never be shiny or nice or anything like you, we are strangers

we don’t want to be like you and we will never stop being this brave (a queer call to arms)

Totally brilliant!
