KING GUISE

Call for visual/ digital / photographic images of self-identified,
of 'Color' Drag Kings, Genderqueers, Male Impersonators, Masculine
Impressionist, Studs, FtMs, Butches and related trans- identities
for proposed coffee table book.

This collection of images and accompanying text will focus on and
explore the act of putting on masculinity / man / he / h?m.
Special consideration for 'action images' depicting the putting
on, taking off, performance or 'captured desire' of the
'masculinized-self.' King Guise will use critical inquiry to
investigate the process and execution of these transformations
and the eventual outcome, if any, of public display and
interaction. Thru dialogue with actual image 'recorders,'
the subjects/objects themselves and the voyeurs drawn to these
particular 'looks,' King Guise will delve into the murky palette
of 'gendered desire and play,' with particular attention
given to the operation and influence of cultural, racial and
regional 'ethics/values/norms.'

All submissions, commentary and visual submissions shall be fully
considered. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ACADEMIC, "POLITICALLY
APPROPRIATE" or "GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT" I am also accepting
portraits, written works, sketches, drawings, digital imagery,
reprints, cartoons, erotica and more.
