Artist's Comments
Model: Joe C.
This series is vaguelly based off Diane Arbus's photo of a drag queen in curlers. I, however, put it in my own style which is a little more dolled up and beautiful with the utmost respect twords the reality in her pictures. This second picture, admittedly, varied far away from her style, but it was still an influence on it.

 This is fantastic! I love the look on his face.
-- #ProjectComment ~ guaranteed constructive comments. #alwaysmotivated   He has wonderful eyes, I would have loved to have seen a picture with the cigarette alight and maybe some smoke.
But in your image I really love his painted nails. I like how he is not overly 'dolled up' the make up use is mild yet effective. I am glad that I did.
 I really like the lighting on this. It's dark and moody, but still bright enough to see the whole image.

but i like it better B&W i thought that at first but i think the reds are so like...THERE that they draw the viewers attention away from the actual meaning of the picture. i mean you still see a man dressed like a woman smoking a cigarette but its like RED NAILS and a guy in a RED DRESS smoking a cigarette...i like bold colors but i like it when they dominate it in a not so over powering way...i dont know in the B&W i looked at him not the colors... whihc i think is the whole point of the picture....but its all a matter of opinion!!!
oh hell i dont know i have a strange way of viewing things....  |

 reports, 1d 9h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
