Edward and I are going to Costa Rica for our birthdays. I'll be posting again when I get back. Perhaps I'll find some tropical inspiration for future works. Until then Mark will be in charge of breyette.com (and the cats). Any orders that include signed prints or originals, placed while were away will be shipped out right away when we get back, November 4th.
Whether it's Santa or a special someone that's doing the stuffing, it's those special little somethings you find in your stocking that are the best surprises of the holiday.
Perhaps you've heard of Dr. Dick or even asked his advice. Well Dr. Dick is Dr. Richard Wagner clinical sexologist out of Seattle Washington. He runs Dr. Dick's Sex Advice website where he exposes, reveals and discusses every sex topic and question thrown at him.

Erotic Signature has sent some photos of the Berlin exhibit of the ARTundressed tour. The works in this tour were published in their books The Worlds Greatest Erotic Art of Today Volumes 1 & 2. I was pretty pleased to see a photo that showed framed prints of my two works Early to Rise (the Viewer's Choice winner) and Business Trip on display.

I began as usual with the face of the central figure. While trying to get the surprised expression and focusing a lot on the eyes, he almost began to look like he had mascara and make up on, they were too detailed and 'dressed up', but the more I worked on them and the rest of the face things began to balance out.
Today the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry. Even though the state already allows same-sex civil unions, the court ruled that they did not go far enough.
A fellow artist I know, David J. Vanderpool, does some masterful work with pencil. Among his stunning portraits he also does some beautiful male figurative as well. He recently spent a year putting together a behind the scenes look at how he works. Come to find out he works in a similar fashion as me, putting the outline of his idea onto the final work surface and concentrating on one section at a time.
Getting started on my Christmas piece. Here is a section of my rough sketch. Last years was cozy/romantic, this year I'm going for something a little playful.
