I’m having FUN with Frida’s image!
I just discovered gauche and I love the rich colors.
I like making different characters out of Frida’s face.
I’m drawn to transvestites & cross dressers
and there is something masculine about Frida
to me in some of her paintings & often she ends up
as a transvestite in my work!
She was bi-sexual and has painted herself as a man.
Many of her self portraits include monkeys.
I, personally, am a big fan of monkeys,
and I love the old fashioned sock monkeys!
In Chinese astrology, I am a Fire Monkey!
This series I’m calling
“Frida transvestites & other characters with uni-brows and sock monkeys”
If you hadn’t noticed…I have a strange sense of humor!

WHAT DO YOU SEE?
NUN GUY
- Is it a nun? A sailor? Or a man wearing a prayer cap in an archway?
Ambiguous Art
Is it a NUN? Sailor? Or man wearing a prayer cap in an arch way?
“NUN GUY” is one of my favorite creations! I love him/her because it is ambiguous. Is it a nun? A sailor? Or a man wearing a prayer cap in an archway? I love art that plays games with your mind, that you can see several different things in one image. I have another character like this I call “One Eye Guy”. Both characters I work with a lot. I have them both on my ETSY shops…

I have a zine of One Eye Guy which I hope to post soon…stay tuned!

Hi friends & visitors!
Not sure what happened, but 2 of my websites are completely down. It appears my web host has closed or shut down his site/ business…mmmmmmm?
Everything disappeared this week…suddenly!
Not sure what is going on…
www.mypetsperm.com (site down for technical difficulties)
www.bethannshannon.com (site down for technical difficulties)
Anyway, in the mean time, I’m investigating the situation & will probably have to hunt for a new web host.
Unfortunately, I’m traveling at the moment, so, won’t be able to fix it until November. I did put a notice on Face Book that I was looking for a new web host & most people said I should go with “GO DADDY”. I will certainly check them out!
So, if you want to see my work, please go to:
