The Three Graces Of A Bodybuilder & Other Drawings

1. The Three Graces Of A Bodybuilder                 

2. The Courier ( second version )                          

3. Man With Feet Propped On Table   



1. " The Three Graces Of A Bodybuilder " is a title inspired by the many different interpretations of "The Three Graces", that were created by several painters in art history. They are usually of three women that symbolize three individual experiences of emotions or spirituality ( depending upon who painted them). I was doodling a bulky, naked figure from a lustful daydream, and decided to create as many figures, that were able to fit into the little 9 x 12 format. I was able to fit three full images of a man, from different angles and stances. This was another piece, I left unfinished for a long period of time, before returning to complete it with ink washes. 

2. " The Courier ( second version ) " was an experiment with my Micron pens. I wanted to see how my details turned out, using the fine points, and if it satisfied me enough to continue using them. It was okay at first, but I felt like something was missing. The volume of my washes, made me very stubborn about trying to use other mediums for shading. But, the more I experimented with ideas and textures, the more confident I felt about drawing with the Micron pens. This is a solid piece, but not particularly a favorite. I believe it serves its purpose, as a study of pen and ink techniques, for my own reference and style.

3. " Man With Feet Propped On Table ", was another Micron pen experiment. And I applied one light layer of ink wash, but decided not to add any more. I was not satisfied with the developing result, and just left it alone. It is a great and challenging perspective to draw for one with a foot fetish. I like the result of the lower body, the most. And I added a newspaper, beside a coffee mug, that has " #1 mom " on it, to suggest that he either still lives at home with family, or he owns random cups, regardless of the content, decorated on them.

Man Riding Another Man & Other Drawings

1. Man Riding Another Man              2. Man Standing Beside Car                                 3. Man Standing In Closet                 4. The Writer                                      5. Man Standing Before A Mirror      1. Man Riding Another Man, is another piece that was drawn with a brush and ink, with washes added. It was also done on a scrap piece of mat board. This is a position I like to draw, and it produces various outcomes, regardless of how it is created. This is a good angle to draw, because it displays the most in depth physical perspective of this sexual position, while including much space of the room within the same setting. 2. Man Standing Beside Car, was an early attempt at drawing a car effe...

Eric Dolphy and other jazz themed pieces

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. Eric Dolphy, is one of my personal favorite drawings. He is also one of my favorite musicians. This piece is inspired by one of my favorite photographs. It is by the great photographer Francis Wolff. A photo taken during one of Dolphy's recording sessions. I love the flute solos from this multi instrumentalist. The flute in general is my favorite instrument, if I had to pick one to play. One of the reasons, is because of the beautiful Eric Dolphy, who passed away too soon. He also was an incredibly gifted alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist. I consider his Out To Lunch album, as the " great American novel " in a musical format, by this awesome performer. 2. Swingin' Easy ( For Sarah Vaughan) is a tribute to my favorite singer, The Divine One herself. I wanted to capture the vibe and energy, of being in an intimate and small jazz club, while watching an amazing performance. The excitement and awestruck sound of Sarah Vaughan is just so otherworld...
