TRANNY TRAVIS



A couple weeks ago, I was at this bar called Kings County in Brooklyn off the Morgan L train, and just happened to meet a curator by the name of Andrew Michael Ford. We got to talking, had the most name dropping conversation ever, and turned out he knew all of our teachers at Otis, the same artists & curators we knew in LA. It was a very serendipitous meeting to say the least.

So, we got to talking & told him of the idea to paint the back of this bar with pin-up murals, as the bar often has go-go dancers on the bar. He said he's been wanting to do a pin-up show in this bar for quite some time, so again, thanks universe. This is the painting I'm putting in the show. It's of a friend from LA. They had a tranny party a few months ago and we all know how awesome art school dress up parties are - people go balls to the wall dressed up. So good. So, this is from an image of Travis from the party. :) The image quality isn't great, but you get the point. I gotta find a frame for it.... like yesterday.

Saturday, August 28th at Kings County Bar off the Morgan L train on Siegel & Bogart. Please come join us for the Pin-up group show!
