This is on gallery stretched canvas which means it is stapled on the back and the canvas wraps around the sides.

This is a gay erotica portrait of a muscular boxer wearing boxing gloves.


I try to make really well crafted work about the human figure and the human condition. I focus on the kind of beauty for both men and women that is "non-standard."

I'm a voyeur who appreciates the beauty in all people, especially the unusual or non-standard variety.

I've been working in thicker and thicker layers and spending more time each day on each painting. One of the things that I've done recently is that I have decided to work on most paintings for at least 2 to 3 days, letting it dry in between each of these days, so that I can rework the color, drawing and anatomy, and lastly but probably most important thing for me is to build the paint surface up and the texture of the brushwork needs to mimic what it's portraying. For example, in most of the faces that I paint I try to make the angles of the brushwork match the facets of things like cheekbones and eyesockets.
