Some old and some new!

Hello,

I am pleased to report that This New Year is off to a great start!

I am already busy working on new artworks gay-themed artworks so that I will have a frequent stream of Original artworks, prints and other items available on eBay, and probably just as important...to have content for this blog...I have searched with the keywords "gay illustration" and I haven't found much out there, I am not saying there isn't much gay art in general, but I personally don't feel there are many gay illustrators represented on the inter-webs so far, therefore it is my PLEASURE to be a sort of "pioneer" and I am very grateful that I get to share my imaginings, inspirations and other desires with fellow admirers of the male physique around the world.

{Having stated the previous statement, I would love anyone to send me links to any gay illustration sites that you come across...I like to see what's out there, as I said in my last post "I am a curious one". :^P }

I also wanted to mention that I have been added to another Gay Website Art Listing, and in my opinion it is one of the best resources for gay art and inspiring information! With a name like
"Gay Art & History: The World History of Male Love"
it ought to be! You can check out this site here: http://www.gay-art-history.org/ or by clicking the animated banner on the left of this Blog page. A BIG THANKS TO ANDREW for adding my link!

And NOW, on to the ART....that's what this post's title is referring to...I have one of my earliest homo-erotic drawings (which was recently painted) up for 3-day bid on eBay until Monday (01/10/11) and I have my newest watercolor accompanying it. (I am a little hesitant to let such an early work of mine go, but I also feel that it's time to move on and keep evolving by not holding on so tightly to the past.)

I hope "Farmboy" goes to a good home!

Here he is:

I liked it when it was just a pencil drawing, but I have to be honest that it looks much better now that I finally got around to paint it.

I like the comic-book illustrative-style that is apparent in most of my early works...I try to go for more realism nowadays, but I was a big animation and anime fan throughout my K-12 education and those influences still make their way into my works...habits are hard to break (as I am sure you all know)!

Here's my details about this artwork from eBay:

About "Farm Boy":
This is a classic Homoerotic pin-up. (I like the camp value of this farm boy pin-up!)

This is an early piece of mine from my beginning days of selling on eBay, and has been waiting patiently for me to paint.

I love the poses of the sensual men and this is my first Modern/Contemporary Art-inspired piece.

The abstract shapes and use of bright colors was most enjoyable to utilize.
