Friends of the Placenta. I (Mr. Eater) have been working on something.

MINI PRINT SALE!!!

This year is my first time participating in AIDSWalk Los Angeles!

I'm raising money to support APLA Health in their mission to provide specialized lgbtq+ and HIV/AIDS care :)

I'm doing a 30 day mini print challenge for my art seminar, so to raise money, I've decided that I'll be selling my mini prints! They're 2$ each (plus shipping if needed) and I will make no profit off of them. Each day of my 30 day print challenge, I will be releasing a new design that you can buy here or on my Instagram account @ eel_teeth! All designs made during this challenge are eligible.

DM to purchase, or donate directly thru the link below!

We have 10/100$ so far, and here are my first four days of the challenge!

Matthew William Bishop: Leatherman, muscleman, actor, LGBT advocate.

If you saw this guy standing outside a brownstone in New York, would you a) Run away screaming; b) ask for his phone number.

How about now?

He's Matthew William Bishop, who gave up a career in corporate public relations in 2021, when the acting job bit.  His Some Kind of Wonderful, about four gay guy looking for love in Palm Springs, won four awards for Best LGBTQ Film. Then he hit the big time playing the silent supernatural Big Daddy, a symbol of AIDs in American Horror Story, NYC:  (Set during the first years of the AIDS epidemic.)

Matthew is also a bodybuilder, obviously. He took first place at the 2023 Miami Muscle Beach Contest in the NPC Open Super Heavyweight Category. And a philanthropist, devoted to recovery, AIDS awareness, and LGBTQ advocacy.  10% of the sales of this "Make the Deposits" shirt go to the New York LGBTQ Community Center.

My novel, “My Government Means to Kill Me,” tells the story of a young Black man coming of age in New York City at the height of the AIDS crisis in 1986/1987 - and so, he would have heard this song on the radio all the time.

After contracting HIV, Duane Puryear became an advocate for AIDS awareness and gay rights. Anticipating his end, he created his own panel for the Names Project AIDS Quilt. A simple black and white design - his message is haunting…

"My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 pm. I was 22 years old. Sometimes it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead."

For his whole story, check out this link:

Thanks to Richard Stabbert for alerting me to Duane’s story.
