Rarely do anything for pride but this year I managed to make two pieces in my old style.

They're available as prints if anyone likes them enough (and it also supports your friendly internet queer raccoon!)

Find them here!

i wrote a play called BOY MY GREATNESS about the lives of shakespeare’s boy players. it’s a sweet, funny, and heartbreakingbackstage drama about growing up, gender, queerness, first love, and the ethics of child acting. it goes up march 8-16th in NYC and if you like shakespeare or queer art check it out! it’s a truly magical piece of theater.

Some photos from my visit to the Lesbian Archives in Brooklyn this summer.

Staff and volunteers were lovely and showed me throughout the whole building.Amazing to learn it’s owned by them!

I submitted a copy of a magazine that I contributed to as their Ireland folder was bare.

Hope to get back again in the near future.

Now Open… Jimmy DeSana: Submission. 📸

On the eve of what would have been his 73rd birthday, we are honored to share with you the first retrospective of a pioneering, yet underrecognized figure—Jimmy DeSana. 

Through this exhibition, you’ll come to know the facets of DeSana—the punk rebel, the queer visionary, the wry interpreter of consumerism and media cultures, and the sometime transgressor of “good taste” in photography. The project’s subtitle, Submission, is derived from DeSana’s 1980 book of often absurd photographs of S-M performances in domestic settings. In his introduction to that book, the author and punk icon William S. Burroughs wrote: “The very word ‘submission’ contains the paradox of wanting and not wanting.” DeSana’s photographic work investigates this paradox, along with the tensions between liberation and conformity, between being a subject and being an object.

Beloved Monsters 

by Janet Bruesselbach

ANNOUNCING A POP-UP PUBLIC EXHIBITION AND RECEPTION Thursday, June 29, 2023, 6–8 pm The Experimental Space, 43-01 22nd St. #300,  Long Island City, NY 11101

Beloved Monsters is a series of portraits in oils that explores queer sympathies with mythic creatures. There are 25 paintings around 2 by 3 feet on average, which were produced between 2016 and 2023. Janet Bruesselbach recruited models from its friends and LGBTQIA2S+ community, primarily in New York City, who related to the idea of embracing being othered or considered beyond normative personhood, in their queerness, and often in their neurodivergence and disability as well. In collaboration, artist and subject imagined what mythical cryptid, monster or mythic being they might embody. Each creature retains a human face and often much of the human figure, challenging viewers to contemplate both the relatability of the monstrous and the ways in which society forces outsiders into these archetypes. Despite the name, not all of these creatures fulfill the narrative role of “monster” and instead are re-interpretations of mythology specific to the subject’s experience and artist’s imagination. Every painting is an expression of the artist’s love for its model, and the beautiful diversity of society’s gender and sexual outliers.

Original works, catalogs and prints will be available for sale. This project was funded primarily by a Kickstarter in 2021. This event is made possible with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.

For inquiries contact [email protected]. All works may be viewed at belovedmonsters.art.
