Screwed over...and not in the good way.

/

I know some of you were waiting for me to get more Capolavoro books in stock. Unfortunately that is not likely to ever happen.  

I've recently discovered I've been the victim of some financial misconduct related to my wholesale purchasing of the books.

I still believe this is a wonderful collection celebrating the art of the male by many of today's artists, but am saddened that it is forever tainted for me because of this incident.

New Painting & Prints: "Sexy. Back."

/

When I did "Sweat. Pant." I was kind of torn between showing him from the front or the back. After all both views have their merit. It took me a couple years but I finally made the companion piece and satisfied my need to glorify the sexy back.

Framed Preliminary Sketches

/

I'm making available the original sketch outlines that went on to become my finished paintings. Before I start the final painting on pastel paper, I plan the drawing out first in pencil. These preliminary outlines are the final layout before I begin the pastel painting. However, as I am painting I deviate sometimes, adding, eliminating, or sometimes changing what ends up in the completed work. 

I am offering these piece framed. They are one of a kind.  I don't have all my outlines from over the years but I have quite a few. At the moment I've made nine available. 

You can check them out in my Original Outlines gallery.

On the Drawing Board: back to it

I know it's nothing close to requiring a label like Attention Deficit Disorder, but I do find it hard to do painting 'series'. I see other artists who will do whole series of a dozen or more, often putting together a show with a continuous theme, where each work is just a slight variation. I have done a few, because I like the idea of them, but it does become a struggle by the 3rd or 4th piece, and (other than my early works which I dubbed Men in Briefs) 4 is as far as I've ever gotten. I think a lot of my creativity is based on my mood, thoughts, weather and the world around me, and all that is constantly changing so I don't usually plan out works months in advance. 

My new piece I'm starting is a companion to "Sweat. Pant." and though I finished that piece a couple years ago I had the basic idea for both at the same time. As is often the case, once I finished the first one I got distracted and inspired by something else. While this is a companion, it is literally 180 degrees different. This time it's all about how those workout shorts look from behind, how they cling and drape in all best places, showing off those hard earned assets.
