Artist's Comments

This series of photos was taken by me of several of my male friends, posing as drag queens in a card suite. They will be used to create design pieces making a statement on the subject of transsexuality, crossdressing and questioning the normal standards of beauty. That is my intention, I hope you like it.

Photo One: Brooks Ward, posing as the Queen of Hearts.

haha, how could I tell this one was brooks...

Once I've gotten past the fact that I know these guys, I really, REALLY like the statement. The colors in the photos really pop, they're very nice.

You have beautiful male friends. I like the concept, but maybe you should make the symbols a little bigger so they're more obvious...?

These aren't the final pieces, I'm actually making huge playing cards out of them, with sprapainted "Q"s and their symbols... it's going to be very, very obvious when I'm finished. I hope I can photograph the series when it's together so that you see what I mean.
