Well tomorrow's the reception for my art exhibit, "Summer Moved On" at Little Gorgeous Things in Provincetown. I am pretty excited about it and from what I hear it's already going well. The works were hung a couple days ago. I am also pleased to hear that some of you will be in town this week end and I'll get to meet you.
With the latest revelations from the White House that this administration believes it is above the law, or better yet can re-write them and the Constitution, I got a little creative with my version of "The Sopranos" poster and tag line.
I know it doesn't look like much right now. Usually I don't post anything until I have it outlined on the pastel paper. This is just a sketch of what I am starting. Pardon the quality of the scan. I tried to clean it up and darken the lines so it would show up better. Still a bit of refining to do, but this is the gist of it.
As I was going through my closet, I found myself rummaging through a box of old photos. Among them were numerous pictures of my old paintings. Some of the paintings I still have stored away others are gone. These photographs are not the greatest quality and are only cropped portions of the full paintings, but I thought some of you might get a kick out of seeing them. I may post a few more if anyone is interested.
Mika, a pop sensation in Europe is gaining ground in the U.S. Though I initially found "Love Today" to be very annoying, I also had the feeling that this would grow on me quickly. It's very much in the addictive and irritating quality of Scissors Sister's "Filthy Gorgeous" or even "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'".

Peter Rex, Mr. Steamworks 2007, (pictured above in front of the poster) has put together a fundraiser to benefit the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation. The event is a tighty whitey car wash, which should be a sudsy sexy good time! Hot guys like Peter in nothing but their briefs splashing and frolicking for a good cause. Peter, who has been photographed by Tom Bianchi, is getting Calvin Klein to donate the briefs and t-shirts, which will be printed up for the participants. I provided the image for the event's poster as well as donated a special full size limited edition print of "Red, Wet & Blue" to be framed and raffled off. So if you're in the Toronto area July 8th, and your car is dirty or you are just looking for some good clean fun and want to lend your support, stop by!
Yesterday Edward and I made the long drive to Provincetown to drop off my artwork for my upcoming show. For a change we had beautiful weather. We had a great lunch at Ross' Bar & Grille on Commercial St. Then we took a long walk across the jetty out to the beach. It takes a bit of effort to get to which eliminates the 'family' crowds. So this stretch of beach is the 'gay haven' and though not official, swimsuits are optional. And, apparently sex on the beach (and I don't mean the drink by that name) is okay too since we passed two guys fucking out in the open. Oddly the guy on top kept staring at us as if we were doing something wrong by staring at them. Ummm....if you're gonna put on a show, expect people to watch!

"In Massachusetts today, the freedom to marry is secure," said a victorious Gov. Deval Patrick, who had lobbied lawmakers up until the final hours Thursday to kill the measure.
I love the seaside and being at the beach. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bright sunny day suited for catching some rays, checking out the guys in their revealing swimwear, and dipping in the ocean or a peaceful walk at dusk or even a stormy November day. “Pensive Sky” follows my last piece “Beach Boys”, both beach scenes, yet both very different in tone, and I would be equally happy if I could step into either one.
I am planning on bringing “Pensive Sky” to my exhibit in
The 20% off Day of Issue Sale on limited edition Studio size prints and Gallery prints (full size - 23 1/4" x 18") will run until about 6:00 PM (EDT) Thursday. Visit my studio, for ordering information.

I hope you all like how the new one is turning out. I wanted to bring it to the show in Provincetown, with the rest of the pieces on the 18th, but I don't think I will have it framed in time. I may have to bring it down after the exhibit opens on the 25th.
Friends of ours invited us up to Maine for the weekend. Their family has the cutest little cabin on a lake. We drove up Saturday night. Sunday on our way home we all stopped at the Two Lights State park for a few hours. I don't know what it is, but being near the ocean whether it's the beach or rocky cliffs is very soothing to the soul.
I've gone back to the beach for my next piece. The fun in the sun has given way to a more contemplative mood. I see the figure perhaps at the end of summer or at least the end of his vacation. Spending his last day at the beach, squeezing out the last rays of sunlight. Unlike the crashing surf, his time there is unfortunately not never ending.
The first New England International Erotic Art Festival opens in
The weekend festivities begin Friday June 8th with an opening reception at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery located at 432
In the mood for some renderings of mostly naked men, a little wine & nibblies, and clean ocean air? Then I hope you'll join me for the reception of my art show, not suprisingly titled “Summer Moved On”.
