Gertrude Stein - (1874-1946) influential writer, referred to by some as a catalyst for modern art and literature. Wrote ‘The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas’.
Marlon Riggs - (1957-1994) poet, educator, filmmaker and outspoken gay rights activist.
Billie Jean King - (1943- ) generally considered to be one of the greatest female tennis players and female athletes in history.

In honor of Marlon Riggs' birthday on February 3, I am linking your painting of him on the Literary Birthdays calendar at http://LitBirthdays.com. Beautiful work. I'll also tweet your website on Feb. 3rd.
It's so funny that I came across your webpage, because I had this very LeTigre song in my head and decided to google some of the people I wasn't familiar with and voila! it got me here! Good job - beautiful paintings!
