So, I recently bought some things for the TG archive. I chipped in to get the original Michel Marie Poulain painting, but I also picked up a few things that I wanted to donate to the community’s knowledge-base. First of all, I like understanding pop-culture since it seems to serve as a explicit breakpoint in […]
After finishing the other painting that’s been sitting unfinished for months, I was inspired to do another one… which I churned out in only 10 hours: “The Three Paths” I’ve noticed something about taking pictures of my paintings: I doesn’t work. The above photo just does not catch what the real painting looks like. The […]
This is a personal request. Below is an item I’d love to see belong to the community instead of an ebay dealer’s collection. This is a painting by a famous transgender artist and, much like the Lilly Elbe painting currently displayed in the TG Center, I believe that preserving and making the significant art of […]

Yesterday I saw something I’ve not seen in years: You know, I even have one of those silver-head 101 KLOL t-shirts in the back of my closet. After Clearchanel bought it, didn’t they turn 101 into a Tajano station? I spotted this old house today. I pass by it all the time, but I’ve just […]

Some of you might remember Ruth Jacobs from her public smack-down in DC. She tried to argue that gay men had a high HIV infection rate and therefore should not be allowed to marry.
