Sorry for my absence. I will be back shortly. Stay Tuned.

Where have I been?

Well, I decided to re-jigger my life. I'm taking a much-needed break after graduating with my BA in Illustration this past Spring.

I also moved! I was living in San Diego, CA and now I have moved up to the Pacific Northwest near Seattle, WA. I am LOVING it here! The weather has been beautiful, no rain, very temperate and comfortable and the scenery can't be beat either!

I just wanted to make this quick post and let you know that I am gearing-up to return with new art and new insights!

Many thanks and lots of love,  JeSsE

NEW Watercolor Painting: "Red-Hott Hoodie Hunk"

Hello Collectors & Friends,

I've finally finished another small watercolor painting, this one is somewhat tame, yet no-less appealing or revealing! I love the way guys look in hoodies, I feel it adds a bit more intrigue and sensuality...don't get me wrong...Naked is always best, but it's always fun to take something off, isn't it?! I also decided to add a bit more hair to this fella because I appreciate a little scruff and edge, it's HOTT!!!

So, without further delay, I present to you:

"Red-Hott Hoodie Hunk" 

As a BONUS, I have decided to include the "tight" pencil drawing of this piece. I enjoy seeing the early concepts, sketches and drawings of other artists because it reveals the thinking and process of that specific creative-individual, so here's how I like, or tend-to, start things off.

Serving Suggestion: TOGETHER with NATURE

{This entry relates to my 2 previous POSTS.} 

Hi again!

I decided to take some outside (non-scanned) photos of my 2 newest small-scale watercolor paintings "Naval" and "Beautiful Shaded-Ass".

They look awesome in the garden, this little patch of clovers and other foliage is growing near my art-shed woodpile, and it held the art perfectly for the photos, so vibrant and full-of-life!

The weather has been light and "just-right" here in San Diego, a bit of rain and lots of sunshine these past 2 days, the perfect conditions for photographing male nude art! heheh. {well, in my opinion, ahem...but really everyday is a great day for nudes, am I right?!}

ENJOY them as I have enjoyed doing this mini-photo project!

 A bit closer:

Thanks for visiting...I promise if you follow me, I will strive to have new stuff that will hopefully stimulate and inspire you! {I am JUST getting started!}

I have another beauty for ya! "Beautiful Shaded-Ass"

Yay!

I have been focusing, and I have another watercolor to accompany "Naval"...that Sailor Boy won't be so lonely now! (...and if someone out there likes both of them, he or she can save on shipping, because I offer "combined-shipping" when I have more than 1 piece offered up for bidding on eBay! I wait until the 2nd listing has ended before shipping both artworks at 1 time. )

 ~*~

These pieces are small, but packed with POWER, and because of the size they will look great "curated" (aka hung-up and displayed together). {Psst, I plan on getting these all into a book one day, so everyone out there can help make that dream come true by supporting my studio through eBay and other promotions...that's if you like what you are seeing.}

They would even look good in a regular picture frame atop a mantle, dresser or table.

I enjoy creating work in a broad range from tame to raw eroticism, so you can keep some in closed-quarters, and still display some throughout your dwelling! 

(I love producing both to balance things out.)

Let Ye Eyes Feast:

"BEAUTIFUL SHADED-ASS"

Dimensions: approximately 7" tall X 5" wide.

This One-Of-A-Kind (OOAK) Drawing Signed and Dated in the Lower Right Corner.

Also Signed, Titled and Dated on the Back

Mediums: Watercolor and Pencil on nicely-textured "Canvas" paper, which is then mounted on to 1/8"-thick re-purposed board (eco-friendly!) which adds stability and durability, and finally I add a few coats of protective-spray to make sure no small amounts of water or moisture can wreak havoc on my art, oh no! I ain't down with that shit!


Shipping is done via USPS, I only charge what it actually costs... I don't "pad" my shipping therefore, there are no "handling" fees.
( I'll even include free shipping Insurance depending on the "final value" of the piece from time-to-time.)


I have the buyer in mind at all times:
I purchase a lot of various items Online, so I strive to provide the best Customer Service I can...
I want each & every transaction to be as smooth and seamless as possible! 
(And my eBay Feedback reflects it.)
***

It's all about getting my art out into the world for others to enjoy, that's my passion!

Thanks again!
(Feel free to re-post my images, just be sure to add a caption or link back to me if you can! I truly appreciate it.)

Yay! A New Watercolor Piece!

Hello there!

I am happy to present a new watercolor on re-purposed board painting. I promised to keep making small pieces for the time-being, so here's something new to feast your eyes on, and hopefully you might want to bid on it? Either way, enjoy! Click the following link to access the eBay listing for this original piece: NAVAL

About "NAVAL":

This piece is simple, bright and modern, with a flirty-feel!

~*~

I started out with a pose I loved...later I had the idea to make it a Sailor, and after that the anchor pattern popped-into my head, so I decided to work on that extra-detail.

***

Dimensions: approximately 7" tall X 5" wide

Media used in this original artwork: Pencil on Textured "Canvas" Paper (very heavyweight & durable),

then a vigorous application of Watercolors,

 which is then Protected with a few coats of protective-medium to ensure longevity and protect against moisture damage. 

***********

All of my Artworks are Made to LAST!
