The Creators Of Netflix Hit 'Easy' Could Put Your Badass, Queer Art In Season 2

The creators of Easy, the fantastic, Chicago-centric Netflix show that debuted last year to critical acclaim (really, you must watch it) and taught us where to shop on Halloween, where to go vegan and how to and plan a threesome like a local, are gearing up for Season 2.

In particular, people involved with the production are looking for local, "badass," queer artists whose work they could put in the show, presumably alongside Dave Franco's lovably goofy face—as Don't Fret's art was, in in two episodes of Season 1—or inside some graphic novelist's enviable exposed brick loft.

"Last season we tried to use as many native Chicago artists as possible; but we want to take it even further this time around," Michelle Lynn Fogle posted on Facebook Thursday. "We want to have a large variety of artists and styles of art to choose from. Trans, queer, artists of color, political, not political, abstract, photography, band posters, prints, nudes, portraits, self portraits, portraits of your mom (maybe not nude portraits of your mom... but also, maybe...) and all intersections of all of these things and all the other things that exist... am I asking too much?"

As Fogle notes, the show is a kind of "anthology" of serialized stories that follow the lives of several Chicagoans, whose lives sometimes intersect, but not always, with a focus on their intimate lives: "If showcasing Chicago and all of its beauty is important to you, please share this post!"
