My blog buddy Richard Rothstein at QueerSighted asked me to create a Senator Larry Craig illustration to celebrate Oct 11, National Coming Out Day. How could I resist drawing that hunky toe tapping marvel? I envision an especially flirtatious Larry wearing a canary suit emerging from the closet bathroom (with a bit of TP on his heel) and declaring that he is not gay is gay. Say it loud and say it proud Larry.
This image comes with a giant nod to Keith Haring's poster which commemorates this day.
In the spirit of this occasion, I'd like to send some link love to several of my favorite gay identified sites. In no particular order:
OhLaLaParis
Justin Rudd
Towleroad
Kennethinthe212
Alan Bennett Ilagan make sure you check out his GALLERIES
Queerty
Queersighted
One Stop Cool
Gayz of our Lives
More power to you all my friends!
Ink and graphite on paper with photoshop.
LOL.. you got his face just right! Did you know Idaho is actually HONORING him with some kind of award? Guess thats what having a "wide stance" gets you...
Im kinda terrified of Republicans.
