P1XELS.com interviewed me following the LARGER THAN LIFE exhibit of mine. We talked about the tapestries, as well as the history of drag queens and the iPhone photos that were part of the exhibit.

In my spare time I like to sketch on my iPhone using Adobe Sketch. This is a series of “scruffy” sketches from images found on Instagram.
LARGER THAN LIFE is a solo exhibit of Joseph Abbati’s portraits of San Francisco drag queens turned into large scale tapestries. Those featured included well known drag queens who have contributed to the LGBTQ community: Sister Roma, Heklina, Peaches Christ, Honey Mahogany, Juanita More!, Creme Fatale, Grace Towers, and Juicy Liu. The exhibit had an opening reception on March 3 and will be exhibited throughout the month at Strut, 470 Castro St., San Francisco.

I love the new Camper fall campaign. The gif images and styling are unexpected, hip, and perfect for social media. See it for yourself at: https://goo.gl/SWaoIY
PETA’s influence on the fashion establishment paled this fall with the abundance of fur seen on the runway. Animal printed furs, shearlings, mink, fox, as well as faux furries were all represented.
Not since the 80’s have we seen such a surge of the big shoulder. It’s not about “power dressing” this time around. It’s all about the silhouette and a means to give new shape to this generation.
