New Release: "Cuddling" (Book cover)



There are times when we all just need some physical contact, not in a sexual way, but just that tenderness, that comforting touch. And while snuggling with the one you love may be ideal, sometimes that's not possible. Besides, there's a lot to be said for cuddling with anyone who's close at hand. 

My latest work, Cuddling was commissioned by Dream Spinner Press for an upcoming anthology of the same name. The pastel is about half the size of the ones I normally do, so there will not be a limited edition Gallery print of this piece. 

The original as well as limited edition Studio prints are available at the special day of issue pricing through Midnight ET tomorrow.

on the drawing board: full tilt

I don't quite know why, but when I work on a face that's at a sideways angle I need to turn the paper so the face is upright.  Just need to make sure everything remains balanced and not distorted.

on the drawing board: under the 'romance' covers


I'm currently working on a piece that will be a cover for an M/M romance anthology of short stories.  Since it's a just a general theme and not a specific story I don't have any specific scene to represent so I opted for a basic depiction of the theme.  I've only ever been commissioned to do one other book, the others simply licensed works I had already created.

New Work: "Land's End"



He finds himself at Land’s End, where the vast sky and timeless ocean stretch out before Him. Feeling small and insignificant, he is nonetheless filled with a sense of wonder and the hope of endless possibilities. 

The Original as well as limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are available for purchase from www.breyette.com at the special day of issue pricing through Midnight ET tomorrow.

on the drawing board: touch of grey


I had wanted the figure to have a touch of grey, but from this view it seemed it just need to be more obvious so I made all his hair grey/white.  I think it looks great against the soft baby blue sky.
