On the Drawing Board: Locks of Love

I don't often give my men long-ish hair, I guess I'm just not that big of a fan. I guess it's a matter of the right style of long hair on the right kind of guy.

To accentuate the figures emergence from a pool of water the long wet hair works here. I think it gives it a nicer line with the arced angle of the head.

On The Drawing Board: From Here to Infinity

I guess it's because I'm a water sign (Scorpio) that I love to put my men in water settings like an infinity pool. The wet skin, rivulets cascading down, and a wet see thru swimsuit are also motivation. I am also looking ahead at my show in July and am creating pieces especially for that.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The water’s awash with toothbrushes, laundry baskets, trawling nets, plastic bags and miles of plastic cord mixed with plastic bottles, rubber ducks, gym shoes and cigarette lighters.

Welcome to the edge of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the world’s largest floating trash heap.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is two large masses of ever-accumulating trash, known as the Western and Eastern Pacific Garbage Patches. The Eastern Garbage Patch floats between Hawaii and California; scientists estimate its size as two times bigger than Texas. The Western Garbage Patch forms east of Japan and west of Hawaii.

The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, a slowly moving, clockwise spiral of currents created by a high-pressure system of air currents draws in floating trash from around the world and is trapped by the circular motion. Due to its lack of large fish and gentle breezes, fishermen and­ sailors rarely travel through the gyre.

Greenpeace estimates that 1 million birds and 100,000 marine mammals die in the Garbage Patch each year.

The pernicious effects of this "trash vortex" aren't just limited to the marine ecosystem. Every year, hundreds of millions of nurdles, tiny pieces of plastic, are dumped into or lost at sea, where they eventually make their way into the food chain by acting as sponges for a variety of anthropogenic chemicals (e.g. hydrocarbons and DDT).

New Work: Necessary Roughness

A nice autumn day is a great chance to get outside and gather the guys together for a game of touch football. And it’s a good excuse for a little contact sport with a guy you’ve had your eye on for a while. While it may just be touch football you might get carried away and sack the quarterback. Some moments just inspire Necessary Roughness.

Man there were a lot of leaves in this one! But I saved those for last so I'd have these two gorgeous guys to appreciate while I toiled away.

The original as well as limited edition prints of this new work are available now on my website www.breyette.com.

As always, get 20% off for a very limited time during the Day of Issue Sale, which will end around midnight tomorrow, November 20th.
