I’m an artist specializing in the depictions and empowerment of the LGBTQ+ community. You can find me in person at exhibits around the United states and online at thaddeusart.com (where you can also find my exhibit schedule). 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💖🫶✊🍑
Human Gilbert Baker was an artist/activist responsible for giving the LGBTQ community visibility in a way we had not seen up til then.

The 1st of my LGBTQ Icons series, it measures 30” x 24”, the original is mixed media w/ texture. Prints can be purchased online : thaddeusart.com/fashionablyhuman!

Capturing the vibe of an LGBTQ icon and what they mean to the community is plenty on the agenda…figuring out a background that would back up such an icons fabulous arrow jacket is beyond. Luckily around midnight I started to figure it out. By 8am, it was set.🏳️‍🌈🎨🤘#freddiemercury #inprogress

An exploration of self, identity, and community, “Reflections” is more than a painting, it is an essential vibe for survival in these times we find ourselves in. See the completed “Reflections” original at Rainbows Festival in Phoenix, AZ March 28th-29th…blog, vlog, and fun surprises coming soon!

I felt like it wouldn’t do justice to the most important LGBTQ symbol in modern history (imo) to depict the flag and it’s creator as a flat painting…so I’m bringing it to life with fabric texture! #lgbtqhistory #gilbertbaker #queersymbolism #prideflag #thaddeusart
