It's not just another night, nor just another birthday. It's the big Twenty-One, and his buddies will make sure it's one night that the birthday boy won't soon forget.

While age really is just a number, turning twenty-one does signify that last milestone into the full freedom of adulthood. So if possible, one should try to revel in it. Being from a small town and a rather conservative family, there wasn't a whole lot of reveling on my 21st birthday. But at least I was able to do a little vicarious living through my artwork, recreating what may-have-been... getting my first tattoo, getting drunk off my ass at the bars, and having a hunky dancer do a special bump-and-grind strip for the man of the evening!

The roman numeral XXI is a really cool tattoo. He will probably have MANY reasons to remember this birthday. The look on his face is awesome. A mix of an evil grin full of mischief with a frat boy sex appeal. Bravo!!

I like the revised face better than the original. It is actually more handsome and more realistic. Of course any face looks good framed between a couple of muscular, hairy man thighs.

Thanks Todd! I had always loved the concept of this piece and am happy that I got the chance to get it looking how I wanted.

I think there's a resemblance between this one and the guy serving it up in "Summer Treat". Maybe you've got a subconscious fixation going. LOL Regardless, I like both. Keep 'em coming!
