---Visibility: Lo que se ve no se pregunta, se respeta. Ill out of III portraits.--- En honor a nuestro Juan Gabriel. "Juanga was arguably the greatest living musical architect of Mexican love, loss, intimacy, excess, and festivity, from cantinas to queer clubs, quinces, & baptisms. He was all generations, genders, sexualities, genres, and styles. He sang them and he wrote them. He was an endless wardrobe change. Casi aire.”--@joshdkun Artwork for The Transgender Studies Conference will be shown @ FLUXX Sept. 9 - 10 in Tucson AZ #transstudies2016 #juangabriel #amoreterno #ink #watercolor #chelinskiart

---Visibility: Lo que se ve no sé pregunta, se respeta. Il out of III portraits.--- Isa Noyola is director of programs at Transgender Law Center, where she works extensively for the release of transgender women from ICE detention and an end to deportations. Isa identifies as a translatina, activist, and cultural organizer and is passionate about abolishing oppressive systems that criminalize trans and queer immigrant communities of color. She was named by Colorlines as one of the 15 Remarkable Women of Color Who Rocked 2015. I met her in New Mexico in 2012 and since then she's been a great inspiration of mine. Her favorite colors are pink and turquoise. Thank you for all that you do. You are amazing!

---Visibility: Lo que se ve no sé pregunta, se respeta. I out of III portraits.--- Paolo is Peruvian, a self-thought fotógrafo, activista, and a great friend of mine. We met at La Cita back in 2009. His portrait is a combination of three pictures he sent me. Favorite colors red and brown. Sweet Pao, thank you for being vulnerable with me and letting me draw you. It's such an amazing process to draw the people I love and respect. Drawing you was a time travel experience. You are beautiful.
