Once again, my patron brings me the request of a likeness, but y’know, this time I ain’t mad.
Divine is such a cartoonish and larger-than-life figure, she’s like drawing a superhero. A fabulous superhero.
I don’t know much about Divine other than she was the basis of Ursula from the Little Mermaid, and starred in several John Waters movies, including Pink Flamingos, which I feel, with what I know of it, I can miss. Actually it occurs to me that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a John Waters movie. I’ve seen him on The Simpsons, though.
This post is also dedicated to the Steelworkers of America. Keep reaching for that rainbow.
In all honesty, both Divine and Waters were such huge cultural icons that I grew up just knowing who they were without ever seeing any of their works. They were just… FAMOUS.
Anyway. Support drag queens and give them power.
