Show & Tell [ S&T ]: "Feel Out The Forms" Progress Drawing - Pic 1

Hello Friends!

I'm busy with the tail-end of a New Piece titled "Feel Out The Forms", which is my most "illustrative" to-date. Now that I have the time and I have my Art Education I am going to add aspects of my non-homoerotic art process in order to bring more elegance and detail to the men of Le Robinet Gay Art {LRGA}. I hope you enjoy this latest development of mine! ^_^

Now, I guess I'd better explain the title a bit...well, the Title-- "Feel Out The Forms" came to me while I was drawing this art-piece on heavy-weight Illustration Board (which is also a first for LRGA; I Love to work on hard-surfaces! ;^P } ,and I was going through my usual drafting and composition of the illustration, and I began to think about what my latest Hero was doing in the image, and the 2 actions seemed to be akin to each other: he is feeling out his "form" and I am telescopic-esqely--(I don't think that's a word, but it sounds funny so I'm gonna leave it!) forming [creating] his world. Get what I mean? Kind of like a distorted Mirror/Alternative Universe thing, oh heck, I'll leave it be. Furthermore...(heheh) sperm [Cum.] is the seed of our human creation, so I like the 'marriage' of the masturbatory-analogy. Hmmn, is 'masturbatory' the right word? Let's ask Webster:

mas·tur·ba·tion

[mas-ter-bey-shuhn]
noun
1.the stimulation or manipulation of one's own genitals, especially to orgasm; sexual self-gratification.
2. the stimulation, by manual or other means exclusive of coitus, of another's genitals, especially to orgasm.

_+_

Yes, I think it fits, even though I'm not exactly 'masturbating'-out a picture, but in a way I am getting "sexual self-gratification" while creating this piece...there's no point in denying that, because without this passion and desire I wouldn't bother creating any homo-erotic art.

Some Random-ness from the Day of this Post for Good-Measure (to ground this piece into History):

Tellurian\ te-LOOR-ee-uhn \  , adjective, noun


1.Of or characteristic of the earth or its inhabitants. 
noun:
1.An inhabitant of the earth.


I find it fitting that this piece reminds me of humanity---dwellings/environment and our human origins (sperm--birth)

I also found this quote to relate to this Artwork as I am creating it, I am now trying to tell more of a story with Le Robinet Gay Art and that's the Challenging part, trying to make connections and to hopefully transcend the flat-image, to make the artwork become something more than the sum of it's parts--a whole for all to look upon, examine, and appreciate! Oh yah, and there's also the 'putting myself out there' part, thank goodness I can Share my Art with you all (across the planet) thru the wonders of technology!

"The Cock and The Starfish"

Why "The Cock and The Starfish"?
Well, because I find it humorous...there is a 'fun-absurdity' to gay art--a vulgarity that is freeing! I like blatant-"tongue-in-cheek"-iness, it helps me get through my day, what can I say? {That, and I read a lot of Camus, along with some Marquis de Sade and Oscar Wilde thrown in for good-measure).

 I like the idea of using slang (idioms) to describe works of art, especially homo-erotic art, this piece--the pose that is depicted is specifically directed (targeted) to gays as it evokes appetitive desire...I think it's safe to say that men who are attracted to other men want to see the entire 'nether-regions' of men they find attractive...to look-upon the front and rear simultaneously is one of the most enticing "money-shots" of these Porno-Obsessed (as well as information, advertising,---Technology----Hyper-glut!) times. Things seem to be less and less sacred...maybe not, but you always hear those stories of the how things used to be, the "good old days"...well those days are gone. (Listen to Amy Macdonald's song "Youth of Today", that's what I mean.) I know that sounds pessimistic/cynical, but that's not my aim...not entirely anyway. I wanted this piece to 'belong' to the Present-day, to reflect the "in your face" nature of these Times. The starkness of a world less in-tune with myth. So enjoy the cracked Aesop's Fables-esque Title! Just shake your head and say Yes! {Okay, that's enough of my crazy-ramblings for now. ;^P }

In other news!: I love how this piece turned out, I spent about 3 hours a day over the course of 3 days to finish it...I don't like to rush and "churn"-my art out, and I also don't like to get my self frustrated and agitated. [Slow-and-steady wins the race!] I also allowed myself to really add on detail and work on color in-relation to my older works which were produced in more of a time-crunch when I still had Art School work to do, it was a NICE CHANGE! Seattle has also been good for me, I love the chilly-weather and the mellow-pace. My new apartment bedroom has lots of natural sunlight which I know will aid in my creation of more artworks in the near-future.

Thank you for visiting with me, Jesse
