A LOOK AT QUEER EROTIC ARTIST WILL GRIFFITH

WILL GRIFFITH, formerly 'Epicenia' is an erotic artist, poet and human
rights advocate. He is founder of The Griffith Center and is a member of
The Secret Room, a collective of erotic artists. Griffith is also a
peace activist and holds his Certification in Conflict Analysis from the
United States Institute of Peace. He took the name 'Epicenia' after his lover, poetess Alysyn Ayrica Bourque wrote 'The Epicenia Trilogy', an expose' describing his feminine,
androgynous, submissive sexuality. She revealed his chronic
masturbation, an activity he engages in relentlessly when he is painting
or working on a new project, and small appendage, describing the size
of his penis in humiliating detail in her article. In an interview with
ArtChix Magazine Alysyn summed up Griffith's sexuality: "I love Will
(Griffith) as a friend,and even if his body isn't hard or exciting I can
enjoy time around him on other levels. But the mistake was ****ing him.
If there was ever a complete let down sexually it was his boring little
excuse for a penis and his inability to get hard when I needed it. I
guess I could have put some panty hose on him to make him excited, but
that just kills it for me." She added: "...his body is absolutely not
even close to turning me on. He can't even get a hard on with a hand
full of vaseline stroking what passes for his dick, let alone with my
ass in his face. After a while I just gave up trying. You either want it
or you don't, ya know?" Despite her assessment of Griffith's sexuality,
Alysyn Ayrica remains his model, Muse and closest friend. She appeals
to Griffith's masochistic personality and the artist worships her and
entrusts her with the business affairs of The Griffith Center, which
manages and preserves his artistic vision and legacy. Essentially she
controls the purse strings and has the final word on how the artist's
work is exhibited, sold and preserved. His transvestitism and femme-boy
sexuality define his lifestyle. ArtChix Magazine ran a cover feature
article on Griffith's past as a transvestite hooker. He admitted to the
story and revealed he is gay. The artist responded by adding
TRANSVESTITE HOOKER: Self Portraits, to his gallery. He ended his
'Epicenia Period' recently, resuming his work under his given name and
is now an advocate for sex workers rights and has called for
decriminalization of prostitution. Griffith is a staunch advocate
against censorship in the arts as well. He resides in Los Angeles where
he devotes his time to his art and to his activism.
