I had the chance to be among amazing artists that Milano Pride and Mana Project Studio contacted to make a series of pictures tribute to lgbtqia important characters who have stepped on this earth. So I took the occasion to draw one of my favourite music artists, Chavela Vargas!“Chavela Vargas is proof of how beautiful contradictions are and how senseless it is to call them that. Costa Rican, in the 60s she asserts herself in a male oriented musical genre (the ranchero music). Her only religion: life. She wears a red poncho, she smokes, she drinks, she shoots with a gun and she loves women. In her list of lovers Frida Kahlo and Ava Gardner. So to sum it up: this atheist costarican butch lesbian and alcoholic is one of the most interesting and sensitive human beings who have walked, screamed and struggled her way on this earth and she is now without a doubt the symbol, the heart, of a very manly music genre, in a foreign land (Mexico) which is also a traditionalist, machista and catholic country. Que guapa!”Happy pride month everyone <3✊ -- source link
