PTown Revolution Tee Shirts
Revolution, Provincetown style. Now, more than ever.
A reimagining of the classic painting of Washington crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Luetze, with a truly Provincetown twist. A Black drag queen leads a kaleidoscope of the LGBTQ community on a fishing vessel from the safety of Provincetown harbor to defend and protect our liberties wherever they are threatened.
This design was created by me shortly after the town announced the theme for 2024 Carnival, Renaissance and Revolution, as well as for the upcoming 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in 2026. Given the political climate we are in now, with increasing threats to queer rights in America today, especially trans rights (note the trans teens at the center, holding the American flag), I thought this was a great way to make a fun but timely and meaningful statement.
I also wanted to help us reclaim the American flag as a symbol of ALL Americans, not just those on the right. Let's show the world what we're about - one amazing technicolor group of people who believe in human rights, civil rights, and the never-ending project of America.
Appropriately, the artwork was done by an amazing queer/trans Boston based illustrator I met in 2023 at the Bear Market, Lee Ingraham. He's got an amazing way with color and a wicked sense of humor and was a blast to work with. Check out his work in his Etsy shop and on IG at LeeDrawsPics.
