Do Ask, Do Tell

Do Ask Do Tell, an illustration by trivophotography, in Equalitopia’s deviantART group. The piece is made with white china marker and Prismacolor pencils on 16” x 20”  black textured paper.

This is my illustration to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” I came up with the concept and stuff months before the vote, and funny that it was repealed right when I was starting to work on this.

Flower power fights homophobia: The Pansy Project

Artist Paul Harfleet plants pansies at the site of homophobic abuse, he finds the nearest source of soil to where the incident occurred and generally without civic permission plants one unmarked pansy.

The flower is then photographed in it’s location and posted on his website, the image is entitled after the abuse. Titles like “Let’s kill the Bati-Man!” and “F*cking Faggot!” reveal a frequent reality of gay experience which often goes unreported to authorities.

This simple action operates as a gesture of quiet resistance, some pansies flourish and others wilt in urban hedgerows.

The artist began by planting pansies to mark his own experience of homophobia on the streets of Manchester UK though now he plants pansies for others both on an individual basis and as part of various festivals and events.
