This piece does not currently have hanging hardware installed, hardware can be installed upon request.
Dimensions- 12 inches high, 4 inches wide

Description- the background is a gradient from silver to metallic light blue and it is very textured from the layers of paint. There are five sections to the painting, kind of like comic panels, the top is a persons butt, second is a persons breasts, third is a face in dramatic makeup, fourth is a section that reads in all caps "you don't need to know what's down there if you ain't gonna lick it", last is an ejaculating penis. All of the sections of the person shown are a magenta/purple with dark purple shadows

Background- this painting was made when there was a hyper-fixation on genitals in the (NY capital district) local drag scene. I have a friend who was doing drag and there were constant speculative comments about what their genitalia may or may not be, they had a really difficult time continuing to do drag because of these comments. There are always some folks that are just fixated on what is in other people's pants and this is what tends to go through my mind in those situations.
