AM AN ALCOHOLIC!!! ************************************************************ HERE YOU SEE LEGENDARY COMEDIAN RIP TAYLOR PERFORMING "THE BALDNESS TEST" ON ME. (He almost snatched me baldheaded!) HERE WE ARE AGAIN, CAPTURED FOREVER IN BEWILDERED HORROR AND AMUSEMENT... WHO WAS THIS BADLY TOUPEE'D SHOWBIZ QUEEN THAT WAS MANHANDLING OUR BOY PARTS?!! **************************************************************** "I AM THE FILTHIEST PERSON ALIVE"- A quote from the greatest drag queen ever, Divine. Divine was cool because she didn't really give a sh!t about anything except style and fun. It's only fitting I should include her words here. I came to L.A. at 17, right out of high school from oklahoma. I started dancing on SOUL TRAIN & American Bandstand, became the youngest page ever to work at CBS TELEVISION CITY, and then... just started to get jaded. Hollywood was just another town, a BIG important town. ***Below is a blow up of my old freebee stickers & cards. I used to pass them out at clubs or when I would meet someone I wanted to photograph. The art concept was "Anthony On A Biscuit", (because I am so delicious). Everyone started recognizing me from my SEX Artist shirts, so that morphed into my moniker of $EX Artiste!! Since then, I've stuck with that name. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* Tan Suit +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I hate Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain. "By day I'm a mild mannered guy in a suit and tie. On evenings and weekends I transform into '$EX ARTISTE!' I'm here to save the world's sexy moments for the inevitable unsexiness of the future. My 'SEXY SENSE' is always tinglling, scanning the vicinity for sexiness at any moment". I knew I was an artist before I learned these stupid labels of gay/ straight, black/ white,... whatever!! A certified genius by the age of five I was always doing my own thing, and paying the price for it. (I was punished for emulating Prince's royal style in high school daily...) Who am I? I AM $EX Artiste!! I appreciate beauty in all it's forms. I'm always looking for interesting, fascinating, sexy, sensual souled people to photograph, paint or draw. I like blended Margaritas and shooting pool on the weekends. *******************************************************************In conservative grey suit, for my day persona.... ************************************************************************I love to look at long haired Puerto Rican girls in orange dresses and high heels. I enjoy juggling kittens and the smell of Lemon Fresh PLEDGE on a newly polished table. These are a few of my favorite things... I love, love, LOVE 70's style juke box joint dives, dressing trashily, speaking Italian, French & Portuguese (badly), sketching portraits of people I meet while conversatin' over cocktails,... ************************************************************* Ramone, my first hustler friend in Hollywood. ***************************************************************************
