"Sharpen and Blur"

acrylic on canvas board, 16 x 11

This is one of those pieces that... doesn't really have a deeper meaning behind it. The body is my favorite subject for art, so the way that scar tissue can alter it fascinates me. I realized I'd never done a painting of someone with a facial scar and decided to do one. As the painting progressed, I started thinking of how my great-grandmother described the experience of having cataracts -- she said it was like seeing through layers of veils. So I smeared the hell out of the background and added layers of matte medium over the sections of the image that I wanted to push backwards.

And so that's how this came about.

Sketches for an in-progress Topical Comic about cis people being cast to play trans people.

As a trans guy who was raised in the theater and has a mom who’s an actress I have lots of Opinions on this subject.

To the right, you can see my mom when she was a Dolly Parton impersonator. And when she was in a Greek tragedy and shaved an inch off her hairline to recreate Greek hairstyles. And when she was in Candide.
