Happy Pride Month everyone! I told you I’d post some rainbows to celebrate, and I’ve got some beautiful pieces to show you this year! Let’s get started with this Rainbow Dragon by American deviantartist Kassidy Watts, posting as emptyblackdeath. Created for a contest by another of my favorite artists, she was challenged to draw a…
Sorry I’m still behind, but this post was more detailed than I thought! So, even though I wasn’t thinking about blogging much while on holiday, the day we went to Cardiff Castle in Wales, U.K., I decided to play a game with our tour group — find the dragons! And then I photographed our adventure.…
The notion of a ‘gay literature’ is a product of precisely these discourses of power. It was invented to cement the idea that real literature is straight. In this scenario, gay literature is a niche product that only those directly affected need to bother about. – Robert Gillett, co-editor of Queer in Europe: Contemporary Case Studies…
It’s officially summer, and officially Pride Weekend here in the Twin Cities, so of course I have share the amazing artwork of American professional artist Katy Lipscomb, posting as Lucky978. I last shared her for Pride 2016, so go see those, and today we’re starting off with one of her latest creations, this Rainbow Dragon,…
It’s June, which means it’s Pride Month — but also this week, the brand new How to Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World trailer dropped! OMG!!! So I found the perfect art for both occasions — this is Flying Through The Rainbow by Italian deviantartist AlaskanKara. Be sure to check out the rest of…
There’s a lot to get to in this post, so jumping right to the art, this first is The Story Glass by American professional artist Sarrah Wilkinson, posting as Nightlyre. She has more great work to be found in her dragon-filled gallery, and you can also check out her website Red Nebula Studios and her Etsy Store. About the above piece,…
A day late and a dragon short… but I found these really cute Flight Rising dragon designs for National Coming Out Day on October 11, and still had to share. This first one is called Bi Pride Skydancer by Ameican deviantartist Johayna474. That one’s for my own coming out, which I did about nineteen years ago…
I almost missed my own holiday, can you believe it? Today, September 23, is Bi Visibility Day, so I found another cute dragon-representation of my own sexuality with this Bisexual Dragon by Australian deviantartist Emily, posting as ApocalypticCats (great name, right?). Emily has a cute, quirky way of drawing dragons (mostly without wings…?) that’s really growing…
This month’s Random Writing piece is a short 900-word story I wrote called The Harp, as an assignment in my Children’s Literature class back in October 2013. I’ve taken the time to do quite a bit of rewriting and polishing of this story in the last week, and I’m pretty happy with it now. I was inspired…
Check out this adorable little sculpture called Chasing Rainbows by American professional artist Christina Yen, posting as The-SixthLeafClover. Christina hand sculpts and paints each one of these dragons, and they’re available by commission through her store. And we’ve come to the end of my extended Pride Weekend! Thanks so much for coming along on my…
