Thinking about how Jack Fairy is kind of just,,, there. And we love him for it. More movies need a guy who's just, around, being gay as fuck.

Todd Haynes on Jack Fairy
OM: While the story focuses on Brian and Curt, and subsequently Arthur, you chose to start and end the film with Jack Fairy. He's the patron saint of the whole shebang, but he's not a true component of the narrative. How does he function in the movie?
TH: In a strange way, Fairy is meant to be the Little Richard of glam rock. He didn't form himself like the human Xerox machine by frantically calling from everything around him and assembling himself in a self-conscious way. He represents a kind of instinctive need to camp it up, something that came to him as a young child. In the film, this instinct is represented by the enigmatic force of a pin that seems to circulate through British culture generationally. Little Richard, against all the odds of the period he grew up in - the conservatism and segregation around him - erupted spontaneously as a shrill spectacle that you could not ignore. Of course he spun right into the mainstream of society, and forced the mainstream to adapt to his new excesses. Jack Fairy remains the kind of lost originator of the whole glam thing. I think he's there to contrast the consumerist drive to be famous, which often is more effective with the very driven, self-conscious stealer of ideas than it is with the organic originator of the same ideas. He doesn't get the same kind of attention as Brian, but he becomes a source of inspiration. He's the 'real' thing, which, of course, isn't real.

a painting i did in early 2020 of jack fairy, before lockdown, while i was still trying to figure out how to consistently draw micko westmoreland's face. i really liked implementing symbolism and reference in this one - as the earrings are reminiscent of those eno wore with the black feathered coat, and the lipstick reflects their childhood blood-lipstick attempt - but my favourite bit of meaning is with the wound over their heart, as the blood they’re using as makeup comes from how much of themself they gave to others and the glam movement. this piece took me a lot of work, taught me how underpainting works, and is a testament to them being one of my all-time favourite fictional characters.
