This screenprint is based on what I wore during my performance at Valparaiso University’s first drag show in 2015. I really enjoyed performing and I loved my look. Drawing inspiration from Andy Warhol’s Ladies and Gentlemen series (1974) where he made screenprints of drag queens, I decided to make a screenprint of myself from Valpo’s show. Each block of color was applied individually, and they were printed in this order: skin, pink, light yellow, dark yellow, purple, black. This print represents a celebration of campus diversity by immortalizing Valparaiso University’s first drag show.
