I believe I completed this drawing on or about New Year’s Day, 1981. This is how I celebrated the new year. I envisioned a happy magic land where masculine men could be unselfconscious and unashamed in their queerness. I had no idea how it would come about. Maybe it still will, someday.
Again, jesus, look at all the work I put into the background of the drawing. I simply don’t have the patience for it anymore. Although being flat on your back for 2 months helps.
