It’s a Gay Propaganda Poster Pin-Up by Glenn Quigley!

From: FUCK YEAH DALE LAZAROV

This is the 1st entry in the Homoerotic Gay Propaganda Poster Pin-Up Challenge :)

ATTN: ARTISTS/ILLUSTRATORS/CARTOONISTS OF G+/Tumblr/Facebook/DeviantArt/Twitter/etc: It’s the Homoerotic Gay Propaganda Poster Pin-Up Challenge! Draw and design a gay propaganda poster — either a remix of a pre-existing propaganda poster or a poster with your original gay propaganda tagline and homoerotic imagery!

The Internets are full of propaganda posters you can check out as research for your entry! Go get inspired by gorgeous agitprop at this here Google Image Search link: https://www.google.com/search?q=propaganda+poster&es_sm=91&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=fMx3U7WNMoGyyATIooLoAg&ved=0CCgQsAQ&biw=1058&bih=933

Your deadline is Sunday, June 14th, 2014: just in time for Gay Pride Month. If you like, discreetly brand your illustration with your credit and URL of choice as the popularity of recent challenges has made commercial entities shamelessly thieve people’s work and, when I’ve come across it, I’ve had to step on their nuts for it. Anyhoo: when you are done with your illustration, send the image to dalelazarov@gmail.com along with 1) the name you want me to credit for the illustration, 2) a link to your web-presence if you want me to use one with the Tumblr post, and 3) the name you want me to tag on Facebook (friend me if we’re not FB friends!) and/or G+ if you want me to tag you there. I will post Homoerotic Gay Propaganda Poster Pin-Ups on my tumblog and on my other online presences, with credit and/or link to participants, as I receive them.

Shannon
After disco faded from the charts, dance music had a tough time on the pop chart, but a new era was launched with this freestyle classic. It was Shannon’s only single to hit the top forty (although the terrific “Give Me Tonight” and “Do You Wanna Get Away” came close), peaking at #8 in February 1984.

Most people came to appreciate John through his wonderful performance as the irrepressible omni-sexual Captain Jack Harkness on the BBC’s Doctor Who and the spin-off Torchwood. He’s also a successful singer, stage actor and author. His recent stint on the CW’s Arrow proved he could make us love him even when he was scaring the crap out of us.

25 Albums Every Gay Guy Should Hear

Key tracks
Rebel Rebel” 
Diamond Dogs
Diamond Dogs is a concept album by David Bowie, originally released in 1974 on RCA Records, his eighth album. Thematically, it was a marriage of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Bowie's own glam-tinged vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Bowie had wanted to make a theatrical production of Orwell's book and began writing material after completing sessions for his 1973 album Pin Ups, but the author’s estate denied the rights. The songs wound up on the second half of Diamond Dogs instead where, as the titles indicated, the Nineteen Eighty-Four theme was prominent.
