Shopping with Johanna Saavedra

TransLivesMatter

The sketch on this blog entry was inspired by the hard-working members of the TransLatina Coalition

(see there site HERE ) who i was introduced to through my friend and muse Johanna Saavedra.  

They are selling teeshirts (see the photo below) to raise money for the orginization. If you are interested in supporting transgender equality and rights, make sure you go to their site and donate, or purchase one of their shirts! 

TransLatin@ Coalition

 As an artist i have the joy and pleasure of meeting many different types of people, some asking me to do drawings of them, some i feel drawn to draw. My friend and muse Johanna Saavedra is a person that i was immediately inspired to draw. My initial drawing of her as a Victoria's Secret model HERE sparked a wonderful friendship. I also met Paola and learned that both of them were members of the TransLatin@ Coalition, a non-profit group that works for the rights of trans-latinas residing here in the United States. I am proud to use my blog as a way to promote the coalition and their goals. please make sure you check out their website, HERE to donate, and find out how you can help.
