We can’t hate ourselves into a version of ourselves we can love.

We are Chiron. And you don’t think that kid grows up to be nominated for eight Academy Awards. It’s not a dream he’s allowed to have. …But now it’s happened. So what I think of possibility, let’s take it off the table. The thing has happened.
So we were approaching the [beach] scene, and I was talking to the two guys and they were both really, really, really, really nervous. Partly because they’d never performed a sex scene in a film before, they’d hardly acted at all, I hadn’t directed a sex scene, just all around we’re all green as hell. But we get there and the one kid, Jharrel Jerome, who plays Kevin, he’d asked me, he said, ‘So, Barry, what is this scene?’ I was like, ‘It’s in the script. Exactly the scene.’ I’m just trying to make it chopping wood. And I go, ‘Jharrel, are you a virgin?’ He goes, ‘No I’m not a virgin.’ I was like, ‘Okay, was the person you lost your virginity to more experienced, with the same experience?’ He was like, ‘No, she was more experienced.’ I was like, ‘Was it a good experience?’ He said, ‘Yeah, it was, she was really kind.’ And now, I like the actor to sort of talk their way into the solution, I don’t wanna give it. So I got quiet, and he said, ‘Is this the first time Kevin has kissed another man?’ I said, ‘No, it’s not the first time Kevin has kissed another man.’ Then I got really quiet and I just watched him. And he said, ‘Is this the first time Chiron has kissed another man?’ I didn’t say anything, and he said, ‘Oh, it’s the first time Chiron has kissed anyone.’ I said, ‘Yes.’ And that’s what the scene became about.

I got my Boozle lapel pins in the mail last night which means they are now available to order in my shop!!!
If you’ve already pre-ordered a pin, first of all, THANK YOU, and secondly, they are being packed up and prepped for shipping as we speak.
I should also mention that a chunk of the pins had a manufacturing error which caused them to have this really awesome and totally undesired “oil slick” effect (pictured below) so I’ve listed those pins as HALF OFF ~ $5 for an adorable pin with a minor defect that nobody will notice? Uhm, yes please!
2016 had a lot of health issues, drama, and political heartbreak but it also had me falling in love for the first time, welcoming my best friend’s baby into the world, painting my first mural, working as a professional artist full time, going on 2 road trips, producing my first enamel lapel pins, and finally getting my diagnosis!
2016 has been the most active & fulfilling year of my life but I’m ready to put it in the past.
2017 is about healing, growth, and overcoming obstacles!
