Marsha P. Johnson

Marsha P Johnson (Digital), Chaz Howkins, 2018, pencil on paper and digital manipulation

A drawing created for International Women's Day after being inspired by the documentary The Death and Life of Marsha P Johnson.

Marsha P Johnson was an advocate for the rights of transgender women, particularly trans women of colour.  She spearheaded the Stonewall uprising in 1969 and has been credited for being the first person to throw a shot glass which instigated the original riot.  Marsha P Johnson had an incredibly important role in LGBT+ history and I wanted to pay a tribute to her in gratitude.

Text based piece

I Want To Die, Chaz Howkins, 2018, ink on paper

A drawing consisting of one repeated written phrase, very much influenced by my friend and peer Grace Stones.  I found the creation of this piece to be rather therapeutic as it helped me express and cope with a negative, invasive thought.

Chilling with Bob Ross

Chilling with Bob Ross, Chaz Howkins, 2018, acrylic on canvas

A painting created while watching 'Chill with Bob Ross'.  The painting has a very basic 'paint by numbers' feel to it, but it was very fun to create along with the TV show.  The painting was sold as a part of the Dil Se charity auction and exhibition.
