Transpainter
I came to find Rae Senarighi (a.k.a @transpainter) through my friend James. You see, James got this BEAUTIFUL flag and I just needed to know where he had gotten it. He said he'd gotten it from Rae and that if I wanted one, all I had to do was go to https://transpainter.com/insta so I did that. Oh, boy. I got myself into some debt there. No, I did not get the flag, after all. Last week I discovered that I had a new Pride flag that I had never used, tucked away with a Nirvana t-shirt and a pair of Vans that I got last summer and never wore.
What I did, though, was to buy these two designs (a mug and a t-shirt) because I thought they were lovely. The Tans is Divine mug is going to my office. The Future is Queer t-shirt I'm gonna wear probably for Pride.
These two were my second option. I think I'll eventually get the 'You Are Worth of Your Dreams design on a t-shirt. I like message t-shirts. I guess it's a remnant of my penchant for message t-shirts during the aughts.
I think this would be cool for a hoodie. Next winter, I guess. So have you got your Pride swag yet? Head to @transpainter and treat yourself to something Queer and beautiful.
Now, this one. This one I want in a tote (I did not see one with it, alas) or a t-shirt. I think it would be even more direct were I a woman, but I think that I can be a supporter of bodily autonomy even tough I do not have a womb.
... and last but not least...
Always remember to vote BLUE no matter the fuck WHO.
XOXO
P.S. If you are part of a company/group who invites speakers, ask for @transpainter. He can give you a talk or paint a mural for you.
Vote says it all.
ReplyDeleteI know right?
DeleteThat may be my next t-shirt and maybe a hoodie. We need to get the message OUT!
XOXO
You know I'm in. I may actually like to order several mugs and give them to friends on the day on Pride. You know anything with gay and flowers, and I'm in. He reminds me so much of a guy I one had a sexual picadillo with !!!!
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteLove that idea!!! And you are like me: gay and flowers and I'm in (have you seen my header? LOL) And he reminds ME of a man who used to work for a nonprofit that one afternoon literally wore me out.
Those types with glasses and nice smiles are DANGEROUS.
XOXO
Beautiful artwork but WOW, those portraits he did on the video -- AMAZING! And in only 45 minutes! The Netflix series looks damn good too.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW RIGHT??
DeleteThe talent! I love his concepts and the way he uses color. I am hunting that Netflix series as I type.
XOXO
I love the art as much as I love the messages!
ReplyDeletexoxo
and I love the colours! for me life should have all the coloiurs of the universe, and what a pity LGBT+flag dismissed colours like grey and others
DeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteI think the billboards are fantastic, too. I think I'm going to get a hoodie and maybe a poster. I love the flags, too.
And @Xersex, the inclusive gay flag has gray!
XOXO
colours: the more the merrier!
DeleteThat Netflix video made me smile the biggest smile that I have done in years. Now I have to go the site and do some shopping. Wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteAwww
DeleteI know, right?? Their surprise was absolutely touching. And let us know if you get a t-shirt or a mug! They are soooo pretty!
Hey, maybe a poster for your place???
XOXO
Fantastic! I do love me some Jazz...we watched the series all the time.My favorite line from the clip regarding using trans people in films/tv: "The story line has nothing to do with their life." THAT's inclusion. XOXO
ReplyDeleteLove her!
DeleteShe is such a role model. And that's true of any LGBTQ character: the story line does not have to be about their being LGBTQ: that's just one part of who they are!
XOXO
We had an opportunity to purchase a Denny Dent painting once. A single eye - airbrushed. I couldn't afford the $400 at the time! Can't imagine what it would be worth today. He painted to music. Watched as he created a Jimmy Hendrix portrait at a fundraiser in the time it took to play a single record --- upside down! (Go here to see a photo of him with the portrait: https://www.deseret.com/2010/7/16/20128318/king-of-rock-n-roll-painting-gets-own-exhibit) He was amazing!
