Lover Man & Other Works

2. Lover Man                                  

3. The Striving Oak                       

4. The Striving Oak ( preliminary drawing )

I wonder if my writing will reawaken, after the absence of doing so, on this blog. But, I have been going through numerous changes, lately, that altered my creative perspective and method. There are more drawings, that exist, of a very explicit nature, because I created them before such changes happened. But, I no longer want to express sexuality so graphically, as before in my art. I now have been drawing works, from a more romantic and monogamous perspective. It is the way that I feel now, about relationships, between two men, who love each other. The trauma of past relationships, caused me to explore a more casual, and less committed behavior anong gay men. But my attitude has changed. And whenever I change as a person, it naturally affects my art, because it is so personal.


Longing Again

You enhance my blues,
with an indigo
that is rich with an ache
and a pulse
that beats in
my heart endlessly,
for your hands
to touch my skin.
I need you.
And the mere thought,
causes my eyes to blur
with burning tears.

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...
