ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.

Style statement: Sporty
Fashion becomes less a spectator sport when sport itself becomes the fashion.
Last Thursday, Inquirer Lifestyle staged the rousing, filled-to-the-bleachers (despite the heavy rains and flooding) curtain-raiser to its Lifestyle Series of events with “Fitness.Fashion,” a catwalk team-up between some of the country’s top designers and best-selling activewear brands, at the Rigodon Ballroom of the Peninsula Manila in Makati City.
Co-presented with Samsung, it drew guests who cut across the fields of fashion, business and commerce, arts, media and entertainment. With the support of HSBC and Peninsula, the show had 12 sought-after designers melding their creations with the latest brand collections: Kipling with Vic Barba; Fila with Lulu Tan-Gan; Nike Golf with Anthony Nocom; Speedo with Louis Claparols; Adidas with Patrice Ramos-Diaz and Rhett Eala; Marks & Spencer with Arcy Gayatin; Aigle and Oxbow with Rajo Laurel; Bench with Joey

Rainbow ... Sea Container Sculpture
Rainbow…
The sculpture, by prominent Perth artist Marcus Canning, is constructed from nine recycled sea containers joined to form an arch. Colourful and creative, the sea containers form the shape of a giant rainbow as a universal symbol of hope and inspiration as well as being a highly visible Fremantle welcome statement.
The artwork takes pride of place at Beach Reserve adjacent to Canning Highway, overlooking the Swan River and the Fremantle Port.
The elements (sea container & rainbow) have strong associations with the history and character of Fremantle both in the historical and contemporary moment.
Containers are a ubiquitous element in the port environment and its surrounds and a direct symbol of the history of Fremantle as a commercial port from the deepening of the harbour by C. Y. O’Connor in 1897.
The rainbow is a symbol of many things including alternative and counter cultural hippy styles and aesthetics, a distinctive and ongoing element of the Freo character.
The rainbow is associated with dreams, flights of fancy and the escapism of fantasy. It’s a universal symbol of hope as well as aspiration

Tonner Signature Statement Head on Tulabelle Body
Outfit: meg fashion doll
be sure to follow me:
Toby Keith is a phony money-making hack, cashing in on the blood of my brothers in arms.
Bold statement you say? Let me tell you the icing on the cake story.
I am a fulltime photojournalist with the National Guard, OIF veteran, a little over a year from retirement Sgt. 1st Class #AmericanSoldier.
I, like dozens of professional photographers from all over and even cute freelancers with no ties to a publication, get media credentials for #Cheyenne Frontier Days.
From that pool, each band chooses which photographers may shoot their show (usually just the first couple of songs) from a few feet away from the stage, and issues credentials to them.
Some of the artists have strict usage stipulations, and long contracts to sign. Some only let a few major publications in, and some are just cool and let most of us shoot.
I love shooting musicians and sometimes there is a tie to the military I can use.
#Toby Keith is definitely in that category, right?
The other night in Cheyenne, he had a few #military members stand on stage and hold a salute during a fundraising video that I’m sure TK is getting paid well to display at his concerts. That’s where I come in.
I was the only military photographer in the photographer pool. Toby Keith denied my photo credentials request.
You see, my office, in an effort to be transparent and customer-friendly, posts many of our photographs to the photo sharing site Flickr because it’s free, and it’s easy for small town Wyoming newspapers and other media outlets, or anyone, to download our photos from. Key word—for free.
If you want a picture of Toby Keith, however, even if you’re an American Soldier, you have to pay Toby Keith.
So here’s what happened Friday. The photo credentials list from the bands is usually issued early in the afternoon and, like normal, I checked in with CFD Public Relations around 4 p.m. to see if I was on the list. TK said Wyoming Military Department couldn’t shoot him because we use flickr (or someone might be able to get a high quality picture of him for free).
I told CFD, I won’t put his picture on our flickr site, and they relayed that to Toby Keith, six hours before he took the stage. He said it was too late to change the list.
Denied twice by Mr. American Soldier.
I and the CFD public relations guys were like “are you #%&@ing kidding me?”
I’m an easily angered Irish guy, and I immediately went to the parking lot to find a $63 ticket so I could take some photos of my hero, and put them on Flickr.
While they aren’t the high quality shots like I may have gotten from a few feet away, I encourage you all to download a few for free, print them and use them for target practice or when you teach your puppy to poop.
This effort is totally on my own and not in any way connected to the Wyoming Military Department or US Army. I didn’t use my media pass to shoot these. I sat in the audience, like everyone else (albeit with a 600mm lens and my own great camera). I signed no contract and, these photos are on my personal Flickr site.
I kinda hope Toby wants to get drunk and mess with me. Hopefully I’ve got y’all in my corner.
PS - I played guitar and sang in the Army band for a few years, and we played his songs. I hope they stop that and that pig-faced, bloated money machine doesn’t come after them for royalties.
Oh, and if you buy the hype, that he’s like the only guy who has gone overseas to play for the troops, don’t.
Lots of bands do, but they are humble about it. And, while they are paid, they do it as a service to the troops not as a marketing tool for self-promotion. I even got to jam with Los Lonely Boys over in the desert. You don’t see them cashing in on it. They and countless other bands do it because they’re cool.

Press Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 8 December 2014:
Working Visit to Singapore by President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, 9 to 10 December 2014

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will also meet and host him to a working lunch.
Mr Poroshenko will also visit the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau for a briefing on Singapore’s anti-corruption efforts, as well as deliver the next Fullerton Lecture organised by the International Institute of Strategic Studies.”
The act of creativity is cathartic.
As one of my seniors said, "one must only be human, before he/she is an artist."
Being human, we are made to feel. Yet we are taught the value of control from an early age, we are expected to keep undesired emotions in, waiting for them to blow over, rather than to let them blow up.
My works begin with a visceral emotion. I hope to create a visual voice to inner thoughts and feeling, making up for the times where words have failed and other expressions have been restrained.
I started my IB art journey detached, choosing what I deemed safe subject matter: trees, butterflies, flowers, cats; devoid of emotion, nothing messy and complicated. I was lost, the first few months were spent stumbling, scared, clumsy and directionless. Yet now my works are very personal, perhaps more personal than I ever intended them to be. My friend and photographer, Nicole Wu, and her self-portraits were a huge influence. She showed me how to turn emotions into inspiration. It made me realize that was what I wanted to do in my works; to fulfill my need for cathartic expression, for reaching out and looking inwards, connecting with minds, touching thoughts, understanding psyches. Other artists that have heavily influenced my works are Cesar Del Valle, for his incredible interactive hyper-realistic illustrations and Alan Coulson, for his wonderfully expressive portraits.
The mediums I use are simple, 50-cent biro pens, charcoal pencils and acrylic paint, all monochrome. This way there are no colors to seduce the eye, the essence of scenery, objects and people become more visible. Emotion is emphasized by contrast, light, shadow, form and lines.
“I want people to feel what I’m doing, not just see what I’m drawing.”

Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Purse Residence is a two and one-half storey Arts and Crafts-influenced house with a distinctive vertical character. It features an entry porch with square columns and a front bay window with notable stained glass transoms. It is set behind a cedar hedge in a single-family residential context.
Heritage Value
Built in 1911 for accountant John Purse, this house is evidence of early speculative suburban development during the "Boom Years" in North Vancouver, between 1905 and the beginning of the First World War. The Purse Residence is a refined example of the Arts and Crafts style, showing an overlap of traditional styles often seen during the eclectic Edwardian era. While the elaboration of the front porch, choice of cladding materials, and features such as the exposed roof beams are decidedly Craftsman, the narrow verticality and cutaway bay window are reminiscent of the waning Queen Anne Revival style.
The Purse Residence is a significant surviving example of the work of the architectural partnership of John T. Gamble and Jacob H. Knapp, who were based in Vancouver between 1910-12. The firm was known for their high quality residential designs including the "Hollies" (1912) in Vancouver. The Purse Residence is their only known design in North Vancouver.

Character-Defining Elements
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Purse Residence include its:
- orientation that affords excellent south views
- location on a standard residential setback, close to Grand Boulevard
- residential form, scale and massing as expressed by its two and one-half storey plus full basement height and tall, narrow rectangular plan
- front-gabled roof
- concrete foundation with wood-frame construction
- Arts and Crafts style influence, evident in: the mixed texture of cladding, with lapped wood siding and stucco and half-timbering in the gable; notched eave brackets; and projecting eaves
- additional exterior elements such as: the semi-octagonal bay with cut-away bay window; internal brick chimney; projecting front porch with square columns, heavy brackets and narrow railing; projecting purlin ends with scroll-cut decoration in the front gable; and hipped roof projection at the rear
- irregular fenestration, including: multi-paned casement windows; multi-paned wooden-sash stained glass transoms; and sidelights
