tripperfunsterWell, you know .. sort of.
A friend of mine was doing some fund raising for her political campain, and part of said fundraising was a dinner and art auction. I offered to donate one of my pics, and after a hearty laugh, she accepted. ('cause nothin' will help your political career faster than auctioning off pr0n based on childrens' novels, right???)
I picked
because it always looked 'het' even though I hadn't intended it to be. Plus, harry's not wearing his glasses, and you can't see his scar, and Snape doesn't have his tell-tale black robes and high collar, so .... I figured what the buyer didnt' know wouldn't hurt them, right? :D
So, my friend takes the pic (which I framed quite nicely) and brings it to the dinner, and an artist friend of hers (like, a real artist, who actually draws and paints for a living) leans over to her and whispers ..."is that a GAY kiss?" teehee!
Well, my art sold for the second highest amount that night! (granted, only $60) but it went for more than the 'real' artist's pic!! And the woman who bought it still has no idea that it's harry and Snape having a snog. I think that's kind of sweet and funny. :D

Date: 2007-03-12 03:21 pm (UTC)Bungled Kiss at least has some 'etching' (ie. scribbles) behind the characters, for backlighting, so it looked more... finished than some of the others. I cropped it very close, so that you can't see that I lazed out on the edges.
And yes, seekrit gay man-love in some lady's house! Huzza!
