our mission
be comfortable with the uncomfortable
*
Imagine if it was common for people to speak openly about sex, emotions, illness, race, gender, debt, abuse…
Imagine if we let go of the fear of being vulnerable and became stronger
Imagine if sharing our stories helped others
Imagine if we knew we were not alone

GRAPHICPAINT is here to make these imaginings a reality. We are committed to providing honest accounts of life, from the explicit to the agonizing. We believe in the unifying power of truth and promote uncensored content in all forms.
We want your photos, videos, audio recordings and written prose. We want the stuff too dirty for social media, too honest for your friends and family, too painful to hold onto…
how graphicpaint began
People are afraid to talk about sex; they may not fear having it or exploring fantasies, but they don’t talk about these things openly. That fear creates shame and secrecy and affects our abilities to manage both consent and pleasure. The work on this site and the explorations of our podcast seek to recontextualize and increase exposure to sex for the purpose of solving this problem. If we can provide the platform for honest media, then a strong and diverse community of people will emerge who feel empowered to share openly about all aspects of life. This community will in turn inspire the world.
