Joy Caros and her paintings on black velvet, 1963.
During our conversation, Caros said Europeans respect velvet more than Americans do. She lamented “commercial junk” reproductions and forgeries that devalued her work, and she spoke with exasperation about efforts to defend the copyright to her images. Yet she also talked animatedly about licensing her work for pillowcases and candy wrappers. She stated, “I don’t miss velvet. There is no market for it. I don’t think about it.” (x)

Bruce White’s “ICONS.”
Currently on view at Spoke Art in San Francisco, California is artist Bruce White’s solo exhibition, “ICONS.”
This exhibition marks the most autobiographical series the artist has ever created, focusing on heroes from the LGBTQ community past and present.
Taking inspiration from pop culture and the political world, Bruce has created over 20 meticulous portraits to shine the light on those that have championed the advancement of equality for those most often marginalized within our society.
White had this to say about ICONS: “The earliest known black velvet paintings were brought back by Marco Polo from Kashmir. Because the fabric was so expensive, it was reserved only for portraits of royalty and religious icons, subjects of reverence and worship. I want to elevate and equate these heroes and allies of the LGBTQ movement to the level of royalty and sainthood, celebrating the diversity that shapes our popular culture. “
The exhibition will be on view during PRIDE for the month of June at our San Francisco location. Along with the portraits on black velvet, we will also be offering a selection of signed and numbered limited edition prints.

From indigenous folk art to mid-century kitsch and on through contemporary art revival, it's everyone's favorite medium for wolves howling at moons whilst unicorns rear before waterfalls backed by rainbows.

Sparkles?..🐠
Waaa kinda sad thingy but I love em so much please 😩💖💖
I love to imagine he'd always stuck his face to the Aquarium while talking with Sparkles ✨️ Man velvet would just hide her sadness on the death of Sparkles to make sure her brother move on- I did that when I was younger so I love to imagine her doing the same 🤭
