There is a Season!

Yay, Seasons of Love is here! The first batch of  books has arrived.  Much earlier than I expected.  I cracked a box open right away. They look great! I am really pleased with how they turned out, I think even better than "Summer Moved On". The colors are nice and vibrant and it even has a nice dust jacket.

Thanks to everyone at Bruno Gmünder in Germany, especially Joris and Simeon and also thanks to Mike Ruiz for the very nice foreword he wrote.  Funny thing I was watching RuPaul's Drag Race and Mike was on when the delivery guy arrived with the books.

I'll start mailing out the signed copies that were pre-ordered this week.  If you want a signed copy from me, don't wait too long, about 40% of the books I'm getting are already sold!  Get 'em from my website

on the drawing board: building a bridge

The few occasions I put clothes on my men they are quite often wet! 

Actually I find rain very moody and symbolic, so it just happens that the concept for this piece gives me the opportunity to render water soaked apparel once again.

on the drawing board: being mindful

While one of my motivations is showing that the male figure is beautiful and deserves equal celebration in art.  I am also motivated to present aspects of what it means to be gay.  Often the two can mesh together nicely.  Illustrating that the loves, lives, desires and emotions of gay men are no different than anyone else can be done while also exalting the beauty of the athletic male form.

Once in a while a subject comes a long that I feel the need to deal with through artistic expression, and it's of a nature that causes me to take a moment to be sure not to over sensualize the figure and detract from the core of the piece.  I also strive, no matter the theme, to infuse optimism and hope.

Newest Work: "Oopsy Daisy"

There's nothing like frolicking around on a summer day... a fresh breeze, the warm sun on your skin, grass between your toes. It's important to take time to enjoy nature's wonder, whether it be a simple flower or each other. After all, we are all examples of nature's wonder too. So in your day to day haste, take a moment to appreciate the nature that presents itself to you. Because if you're not mindful, before you know it... oopsie daisy, it's gone.

Gosh I hope this isn't a sign of spring fever already, it's only the beginning of January!

Oopsy Daisy will be part of my show Seasons of Love later this year at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. The original is available for purchase through the gallery now, but cannot be delivered until after the show ends August 31st.

Limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are available through my online studio at the Special First Day Price through Midnight ET tomorrow.
