“DRAG” // series, felt tip marker on paper, 3/4/24
The idea of dressing up in costumes has always been intriguing. Using attire and outward appearance to mimic or embody something or someone is, to me, both terrifying and entertaining. Drag is an artform which perfectly encapsulates this idea and has been at the forefront of my mind since I was little. I am a super fan of Drag Race and so many talented queens, I love watching anything that has a queen or mentions the artform in it, I have even gone to see some of my favorite queens in person. Drag has been an interest of mine for a very long time, and I wanted to celebrate and dive into the artform by crafting my own queens through drawing. Each queen is modeled after the queens I see on television, social media, and in the world around me. “DRAG” is an ongoing series, which I hope to add to at a later time.
