Johanna is my muse
I have recently been trying some different technique with my art, including using a mix of water color paint and ink pens. Here is an attempt at using both mediums featuring my awesome and gorgeous muse, Johanna Saavedra (find her on Facebook HERE )

Help out the TransLatin@ Coalition!
Do you want to help support the fight for transgender equality? Are you a transgender supporter but feel unsure how you can help? Are you a transgender man/woman who wants to show off your trans-pride? Do you need a new tee shirt? Do you care about equal rights for EVERYONE? Well if you say "yes" to ANY of these questions, make sure you go to the TransLatin@ Coalition website HERE and pick up one of these great tee-shirts. Buy one for yourself, your friends, and anyone you know who has a careing heart!

Battle for Transgender Rights in Maryland
i have a wonderful FB friend by the name of Katherine Sasha Mowen. Because of a recent event at a local Maryland club she is taking her battle for transgender rights to the court! I hope that everyone and anyone will be eager to help in supporting her. Check out her GoFund page HERE!
Here is a brief explanation from Sasha's GoFund page...
On March 14th I went to a concert at a local public Chain Cafe/Pub/Bar in Hagerstown, MD. As a proud transgender woman in the process of transitioning, I went to use the ladies where I gender identify- and was yelled at and confronted by the male manager in the most unprofessional way. I was forced to use the mensroom all night long, where I had to put up with Harassment and if not for friends who were there almost sexual assault and violence. The manager had the nerve to say, he was doing this for the safety of his customers but what about mine? In fact when trying to talk to him and advise that there is a new law in the books in MD regarding this, he just turned his back and walked away from me. However, thanks to my friends and despite some nasty names I got called, threats thrown my way and having to be escorted to the restroom all night long like a child- I tried to make the best of a bad situation. When I tried to reach out to them over the phone and online, I got the same attitude from them. In fact many of my friends and people who were there that witnessed this activity posted comments on their Facebook page, which they have since promptly deleted (I have screenshots however). As a result, I wrote to their corporate offices and the owner of the local establishment- and despite a very blase statement of "we'll look into it", they have yet to follow up and tell me exactly what they intend to do. I have recently consulted a local attorney and they are in violation for this discrimination based on State Law and Civil Rights. Unfortunately, it's going to cost me several thousand dollars upfront to pursue it, which honestly I don't have. I don't know what to do. This is to help not only me, to right a wrong but also to ensure nothing like this ever happens again! We've lost too many trans people due to ignorance of this kind and I'm not going to stand for it. I'm fighting. Your support is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Katherine Sasha Mowen
