I drew ‘textanudes’ for over 14 years and have published 2 editions of illustrated pin-up playing cards of (mostly) queers un-dressed-up in poses, props and surrounds of their choosing. A few days ago I found out that the Queers and Comics conference is putting out a deck of ‘Queer Pin-Ups’ featuring drawings by queer comic artists / illustrators to fundraiser for the conference next year in NYC…and no one thought to tell/ask me including artists I’ve toured with. Maybe the organisers could have googled ‘queer pin up playing cards’ and see who has done them before… twice. Feeling a tad invisible and frustrated brown artist. Here’s one of my fave pics from the pack…[image description: black femme, Fem Appeal reclined as Josephine Baker with banana skirt and stuffed leopard surrounded by patterned rugs] from 2011. Anyway…they’re on sale til Dec 24th at textaqueen.bigcartel.com, enter PLAYDATE at checkout for $10 off. #pinups #textaqueen #playingcards
