“The textured and fragmented anatomy used in these images brings forth what is deeply human. While we will attempt to merely fixate on the photographs presented to us, the focus will begin to turn inwards, often to feelings of solitude, awareness of social construct, and relationships weaved with the sweet bliss of nostalgia. Comparable to the works of Rene Magritte and Hans Bellmer, the images and props such as hairpieces, pantyhose, pumps, and more will arouse insight into conventional sensations of intrusive forms of objectivity and subjectivity, which truly evokes and enhances embodied spectatorship.”-mOckup

So I’m getting a lot of submissions (YAY!) and a lot of interest in the finished product from ables.  FUCK YEAH.  But what I’m missing is photos, drawings, artwork in general. So basically what I’m asking is:

Got artwork?  It doesn’t have to be disability related b/c this is a zine by people with disabilities so all it has to be is *by* someone with a disability, though art ABOUT disabilities is a SUPER PLUS!
