The Pink Triangle Making Headway

26/03/09

First I want to apologize for not keeping my "official" website up to date! I have been spending a lot of mt online time networking on myspace with tons of wonderful people worldwide, spreading the word about my art!



I started thinking about doing a line of Lesbian paintings after watching "Boys Don't Cry", a very important movie for you to see if you haven't! What inspired me was the deep, passionate, pure love that was shared between these two women. It was simply beautiful and brought a tear to my eye.



I decided right away that I did not want to market this line to men. 99% of the time, Lesbians are depicted in a pornographic light, and that is far from my intentions. I want to show society the purity, passion, and reality of same-sex love between two women. Because it is not about the sex, its about the intense emotion found in these relationships that seems absent in heterosexual relationships as well as gay male relationships.



So, this line is for the L & B ladies. The ones who know its not about porn or sex but L-O-V-E! You deserve the honor, and you do not deserve to be exploited for horny male entertainment.



I plan to do 20 paintings for this line to be released sometime next summer, 2010. I want to coordinate with an LGBT organization and have a large exhibition event/ party to sell off the paintings as well as more affordable prints. 40% of the profits will be given to the LGBT community for awareness education and LGBT events.

Thank you so much for all of your love and support for this project! I already have the support of over 1500 people through myspace, and I would appreciate yours! Feel free to email me your comments, suggestions and even protests! I want to impact society, and you are key for my success!

Much Love,
