Julie Aramos Gallery Showing

Julie Aramos is an artist in San Francisco. Her father is Gabriel Aramos, successful writer and artist once married to Teresa Russell whose family were among the founding members of early San Francisco. A few years ago Julie was almost killed by her ex-boyfriend and as a result she's pretty much lived alone at one of her Godmother's many houses and, with the help of her dad she found her voice as an artist.

So, yes, this is a work of fiction built around the lives of several people I've known. Julie falls in love with a woman, Alona Carpenter, and as a result she starts working on a new art showing, 'Women in Love'.

 And her art show causes all sorts of problems with her Mother's family but she also discovers the person she didn't know she needed the most: Herself.

What's next are some of the drawings which are definitely NSFW and for anyone who has a problem with images of gay love.

LAST CHANCE.

Ooookaaaay.














 There are (Many) more illustrations and if you'd like me to continue the 'Grail' story, let me know. It's the kind of story that will cause heads of 'Fundamentalist's' everywhere. I worked with others on this tale for almost a decade and I'd like to share it with you. 

Let me know. 

 Of all I've ever written and drawn (I have two manuscripts that I'd worked on trying to make something different and daring and still it needs work). I really would like to share with you, my friends. 'Grail' is filled with LGBTQ, inter-racial, and other aspects of love and it's a positive tale where LGBTQ characters aren't killed off and aren't two dimensional. 

Also, I'm not really afraid of those assholes who think they act on 'God's' behalf. Ask my friend Devon Oxford, my brother and confident and one of those who actually saved this old pagan's mind and life by daring to become my friend as flesh and blood began to desert me because of their ignorance or misplaced righteousness. He's not the only one and I'll get around to the others. 

Damn, it feels good to just let go and let life happen.

later

GRAIL 3

 The idea for 'Grail' came to me in the '80s, but so did addiction. So it wasn't until I was sober and the arrival of a new century that I actually started working on it. I wish I could have finished it. Whether or not anyone ever does something with my notes my time wasn't wasted because I love drawing portraits.

GRAIL 2

 More drawings. The four main characters have always been incredibly difficult to put down on paper. I have dozens of drawings, sometimes I've come close, but they are always just out of view. I could have simply chosen 'Stereotypes' but I refuse to take that route. Another reason I can't really do this story myself. Tomorrow...

The Meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything Else

Image
In Douglas Adams' book/movie 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe' a race of mentally superior beings create a super computer to give them the answer to the meaning of life...Of course it's the number '42'.  It's as good as anything else, I suppose. The advantage of actually living to an older age (And there aren't many) is you can look back at your life and it somehow makes sense...Sometimes it's all nonsense...But you can look at all the threads, decisions, journey's, heartaches and fears that led you to a place you never really believed you'd experience. Seriously, back in high school our math teacher had us figure out what our ages would be when we entered into the year 2000 and, firstly...Old! Secondly, I don't think anyone who knew/knows me would have believed I'd make it that far. I was on a path of self destruction though, as hard as I tried, I never really mastered.  I got to this point and look at all the goals I'
