When the weather’s hot and sweaty, but you feel so spooky already — SUMMERWEEN. #haunteddavidart #summerween #horrrorbeefcake #supportqueerart #queerartist
HER PRIVATE HELL screening last night with a Nicolas Winding Refn Q&A — what a feast for the senses. #nwr #herprivatehell
Thank you for a raucous Tuesday night of queer cinema! Fun Facts: Felissa Rose’s father opened the first gay vacation motel in the country AND was also the bar manager at The #Stonewall Inn in 1969, getting arrested for rioting on that historic night! #PeachesChrist #MichaelVarrati #FelissaRose
Celebrating Independence Day with the Captain America of the railways, Aaron Fischer, Marvel Comics’ first openly gay character to take up the mantle of Cap. Remember the words: “Liberty and Justice FOR ALL.” #HauntedDavidArt #CaptainAmerica #AaronFischer #QueerArtist #4thOfJuly #supportqueerart
Favorite first-watches of June… • Masters of the Universe (2026) • What Really Happened to Baby Jane (1963) • Pet Shop Days (2023) • Bell From Hell (1973)
Today I was faced with an age verification prompt when I opened Bluesky. If I disappear here, it’s because I’m morally opposed to any agency policing my web habits. But just now I reflexively opened Bluesky and I’m on just like normal. I despise the inconsistency, but at least I’m here for now.
I’ve been so ready for this. #DarkShadows #HauntedDavidArt #BarnabasCollins #Collinwood
Gay, gay, they’re all gay! #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #pridemonth
Made time to add recent SALEM HORROR FEST work to my portfolio. I often worry that the words "horror fest" on my resume might turn off prospective employers, but I approach it like any other event project: creating modular visuals that lend themselves to different utilizations. #haunteddavidart
Another #Pride Month piece, this time with a vintage-inspired sailor pinup, because it's been so darn hot and I'd love to cool down with a visit to the sea. #HauntedDavidArt #SupportQueerArt #Beefcake #QueerArtist #FleetWeek #Sailor
I'm excited Gregg Araki is still making movies and I'll run out to see this opening night, but I have to express disappointment that this looks so... heterosexual. #hottake #greggaraki #iwantyoursex
It’s a Saturday in June and that means there’s a #Pride celebration taking place somewhere (well, a lot of somewheres)! Let’s kick this one off with everyone’s favorite #MistressOfTheDark, ELVIRA, an icon, ally, and member of the rainbow community! #haunteddavidart #elviramistressofthedark #queerart
Happy Pride Month from the Gay Girls’ Riding Club. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #GGRC #drag #AGFA #gaycinema #pridemonth
Tonight I saw the trailer for the new Nicholas Hoult movie where he’s peroxide blonde with guyliner and a pup mask! #nicholashoult #HowToRobABank
Happy Pride Month to these two, who are about to make it everyone’s problem.
June is GAY PRIDE month!!! May was Military Appreciation Month. November is Veterans & Military Families Month. Straight people don’t need a Pride month because nobody has EVER tried to legislate them out of existence or make their lives harder because of who they love. #haunteddavidart #queerart
