I’m a digital collage artist. I make collages from vintage gay magazines from the 60’s. I’m currently making a gay tarot deck

Although i do love the word "cabochon."

I know that it's clunky jargon. Unfortunately, every term in the world of rhinestones just sucks: stoning, stoner, bedazzling, AB (aurora borealis), flat-back.

Important update, please read!

My event insurance didn’t cover inventory loss, so I’m not getting reimbursed. I hate to ask, but any financial help would mean a lot. Venmo/Zelle info is below. If you donate, DM or email me your address—I’d love to send a thank-you gift (prints/postcards).

I filed a police report. And I had event insurance. But to be honest, I do not have any faith that my insurance will pay me out or that the police will be able to do anything about it. I had a very disheartening talk with the Folsom staff last night, too. I just feel very demotivated.

I paid hundreds of dollars to be a vendor, worked for months to plan for the event, and make art to sell. And then I lost it all. ):

Oscar Graves @oscarzamoragraves.com · 9d

I had a booth at the Folsom Street Fair. I wore a fun handmade outfit, sold lots of art, and then got robbed at the day. I lost all the money I made in sales and all the petty cash I brought for change, along with all my cards.

anywayyyyyyy i don't like nazis & i don't like fascists & i don't like censorship & i have zero tolerance for those within my own community who capitulate to or enable any of the above, or who think we should sacrifice the most vulnerable among us to appease our oppressors. if that wasn't obvious.

embroidery on white cotton. red text reads "nazi fags fuck off." in the center are three figures in the style of tom of finland. two smiling men in leather and antifascist symbols are holding up a crying naked man by his ankles, exposing his asshole. the naked man has an 88 tattoo on his leg and a swastika tattoo on his butt cheek.

For #tdov, here's a trans adaptation of Tom of Finland's Kake that I did back in 2022. It's a mixture of embroidery & appliqué with some leather details. 🏳️‍⚧️

An embroidery of two Tom of Finland characters in black thread on white fabric. Kake is wearing a black jacket and pants; his t-shirt reads "TRANS FUCKER." He has a purple dildo sticking through his fly, being gripped by the hand of a sailor with a leather harness that holds his own bright pink dildo. The sailor's pants are down around his thighs and he's pushing his striped shirt up above his chest, revealing a top surgery scar. Kake's hand is caressing the sailor's ass. They are on a pink printed background.

I'm going to have a booth at the Folsom Street Fair this Sunday!

Come say hi & check out my art in person!

Also, I am looking for helpers for the day with setting up/running my booth & possibly a ride if you have a car. I'm happy to discuss payment (cash, art, etc) through DMs
