I took several hundred self-portraits with the Polaroid One-Step SX-70 camera in 1978. The artists whose work at the time captivated me were Lucas Samaras, Egon Schiele, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. To document my life as a 21-year-old queer art punk, I used the Polaroid, multiple journals and performance. I posed, like any good punk, to put you off and to attract you just the same; its all the same.

Come join us for the launch of the third volume of the Gay City anthology series: RE-PULPED! Editor Vincent Kovar and Gay City's deputy director Peter Jabin are joined by a number of writer/artist contributors this evening to celebrate the publication of Gay City, Volume 3: Re-Pulped (Gay City Health Project). A collection of photographs, comics, stories, essays, and poetry, this anthology also includes selections from contemporary artists and queer pioneers, all working across genres to redefine what gay was, is, and might be. Copies of volume one and volume two will also be available!
Come meet the talented contributors, our fantastic sponsors and the dedicated staff of Gay City Health Project. Seattle's Gay City Health Project is a multicultural gay men's health organization working to promote the health of gay and bisexual men, and to prevent HIV transmission by building community.
