Calo will also have prints and a few small works on paper available for purchase... LEARN MORE now at the link in my bio!🐳Seems like as good a day as any to repost this 2017 installation by @nero_one... ☕️"I feel like now is the time to push as much queer, latinx, immigrant, feminist-related content as I can. Like these minority communities—we're not minorities, we're not these tiny communities. *Laughs* Y'know like even calling us minorities—that feels like, Euuhhhhh. Doing street art has been a really positive experience in that sense. I’m very brash with some of my messaging. I can’t help but be aggressive with some shit. I’m trying to be all up in people’s faces—queers, latinx, we’re here and we will not be ignored." Our latest Streets Dept Oral History is out now! This week, we talk with Philly-based street artist @marisa.vr: Read the full post at the link in my bio!@signsofsolidarity was excited to partner with @thesepinklips (who created the ‘Resistez’ banner) to paint and drop signs for the second year in a row at the @beardedladiescabaret’s Bastille Day performance at @easternstate... Special thanks to my Signs of Solidarity co-organizers @xoaubriecostello and @ericpreisendanz and to everyone who came out to this final show!Have y’all checked out our latest Streets Dept Oral History post? In it we hear from Philly-based street artist and muralist, @ndastreetart: “I mean without it, I’d probably kill myself, I don’t know. *Laughing* Not to be dark or anything… I would be super depressed without it. That’s number one. It’s my sense of worth. You get to pick a thing, and I’ve chosen this as my life, y’know, my goals going forward are creative. I don’t know what I would do otherwise.” Read the full post now at the link in my bio!New @wrdsmth wheatpaste in #WestPhilly, located at 53rd and Warren streets! ❤️ (Photo by Streets Dept Contributor @ericinphilly)"One of my earliest memories was throwing my leg over the hallway banister of my childhood home and pretending I was riding gleefully on the back of a motorcycle while holding on to Aladin’s waist. Yes that Aladin, the cartoon character from the 1992 Disney film..." SO excited to be asked by @zoe.rayn to write an essay for the second issue of @caldera.magazine about how I think growing up gay ultimately had an effect on my life/career path... Hope y'all will give it a read – link in my bio! (Special thanks to photographer/ filmmaker @ryanscottfilms for lighting my parents’ hallway to get this shot!)Departments
