I coloured some of the line art to be dark red/brown. This created a softer warm feel. It also made the colouring look less muddy.
This expression is priceless... Lacock 'scarecrow hunt' (be there or be seriously begrudged by my family) was the guilty location of this sexy beast. Anyhoo, the Elmo scarecrow (had to be seen to be believed) and this pouting, egotistical, modelesque llama-lookalike (yes i did just assume all these incriminating characteristics from one adorable photo), were the highlights. And the 99. (bang goes my "diet". (>BANG!!<)

I felt so badly for this guy. He was just sitting by himself, his head in his hands, while a bunch of screaming kids ran about on the other side of the glass.
He and I locked eyes and just observed each other for awhile.

Performances by:
Julie J (host), Voxigma Lo, Paris Alexander, Patti Spliff, Amygdala, King Molasses, Divina GranSparkle, Sweaty Eddie, Ma’amshe
Pop-up queer market curated by The Rosemart
Featuring the Chosen Family Law Center
For 2025, I collaborated with SoMad, drawing from my "Life is Drag" archive to curate a stellar lineup of artists—visionaries of the Brooklyn art drag scene and powerhouses of the NYC and DC drag worlds—artists who inspire locally and globally through their brilliant and joy-inspiring drag, and who create and connect beyond the stage through their unique and artistic activist voices.
Alongside the performances, SoMad was alive with video projections from my almost 400-piece-and-counting archive, and the Rosemart (a volunteer-run queer marketplace) had a pop up on the 4th floor. We were also thrilled to welcome The Chosen Family Law Center, offering legal support for low-income queer communities.
Hosted by the iconic Julie J, and soundtracked by DJ duo The Rage (Dinahfire & Brik Olson), the night brought together drag luminaries from NYC, Brooklyn, and D.C.—all featured in "Life is Drag". 2025's Mad Pride performance lineup showcased a powerful, extraordinary group of diverse drag artists who not only advance and extend the boundaries of drag, but also lead, organize, and uplift their communities as activists and community leaders.
