Hairy Jockstrap, Done

 I got him ready for posting on instagram, and did two versions—one with the watercolors turned on, the other without. I do like his face without all the color too!

Beloved Pup 6

My client finally got back to me and changed the idea again. It's an easy enough pivot but I do feel a bit like it's starting over conceptually. Now he wants to include parts of him and a different background. We obliged with a sample sketch as proof of concept.

Hairy Jockstrap

I pivoted, and changed the boxers to a more gay jockstrap...and i keeping with my current immersion in kink, decided to do a very gay leather jockstrap. Although it's still very me with all the details and piecing.

Statuesque

I've been thinking I want to do a more classical piece or two with my model Nicholas, and get away from all the kink. I was thinking more statuary, with lots of draping. Although in this idea sketch, I didn't actually drape any of it on him. I suppose I'd wait to see what that looked like on the model. COuld be really fun for shadow play...

Blue Stomp

I don't know if my kink model gets into trampling (is that the term?) but it's certainly a fetish I'm aware of. And it's also an excuse to draw a fantastic heel. Plus I love the idea of the sexuality taking place off screen, where you can imagine all the whos, whats and whys on your own.

OMG this is my 7000th post, at least numerically!

Hairy Boxers 2

I decided he needed to be more of a profile view on his body as well, with juuuust a hint of dick showing.

Hairy Boxers

I'm drawing for my Instagram feed and have been wondering what I could finish without showing dick. This is what I have to deal with now that I feel that IG has gotten super sensitive about what I post—if not what gay users post in general. Although many other posters I know show full on dick, so I might just have been unfortunate enough to have gotten on their radar. Anyhow, this is the start of the potential sketch.

Fetish Gal

This was a sketch I did in the subway, of a sheer fetish gal that I'd forgotten I drew so I never posted her here. But I added some facial details and hair today so I get to publish her here today.

RotoNick 2

Second panel. I think there will be at least 64. Oy!

RotoNick

I'm experimenting with rotoscoping, a technique where you trace over photos to create a low-rez looking animation. I despise the idea of tracing photos, but this technique requires it, plus I took the video myself so it's all mine from the get-go. This is one of my first slides (I erased the others I didn't like).

The Dick

A straight friend had asked me some time ago to draw a pic of his penis from a pic he took. I don't usually do this, but I was curious about his reaction. It's such a personal request and I often wonder what people want out of it. And I also imagine they know that as an artist will draw this, they'll get worked up about the details...or in general. And I was curious how he felt about that.

Anyhow it was a quick one in ballpoint, and i started it in the middle of the Knicks game so there was uproar coming up from outside my window with sexual inner turmoil from within, haha

St.Scho for Angie, Done

I got the commission done, and I added just a few color elements to the skin tone. Hopefully this can translate into a tee shirt print as well as the email graphic she wanted.

Shirty

I wanted to do a quick drawing of a guy lifting up his shirt and revealing his butt, but as I finished the first draft, I realized, I think I drew this already? Albeit with a suit. So I'm wondering if he's worth finishing.

Nicholas at The Center again

My boy Nicholas was scheduled to pose at The Center again and I made sure to show up and support him (as well as draw, since I like drawing him anyhow). But I misplaced my eyeglasses so I had to try and draw ith just my reading glasses. Fortunately my distance vision isn't too bad but I think I was definitely handicapped. The last, 40 min pose was grat though. I got a really nice portrait out of it, which was the 40 minute last pose (which is the opener on this blog post).

Black Party Gal 2026

I did a drawing decades ago entitled Black Party, and it involved a club kid looking model with only certain parts in black. This one is a bit updated, with a hopefully ornate proto geisha flair.

Beloved Pup 5

And now a few flourishes to set the frame. Hoping the client likes this version.

Beloved Pup 4

I met with Gris finally the other week and I had a different understanding of his overall look versus the specific view from theh photo my client gave me. His body is a little more correct now.

Nicholas Seated 3

As I firmed up the drawing, I realized I was drawing teh body incorrectly, as I was drawing the visible parts but not necessarily how the body would actually sit underneath those hidden parts. So I had to retool him and I think now I need to have Nicholas actually sitting for me to get this more accurately.

Bootcock

Meanwhile, another idea I had involved a man getting off on being stomped on by a high heeled boot.

Gloved

Nicholas asked me if I'd do a version of the suitcock drawing with just the gloves, so this was an idea.

Nicholas Seated 2

I have been working on some of my next pages for the kink story I'm doing with my model Nicholas, and I'm striving for a more narrative style for these. Taking some inspiration from the master Rene Gruau with his Dior Jules ads opening doors to men, I wanted to twist it with a bit of a kink edge.

Beloved Pup 3

So my client thought my sketch was too literal, and this was one of the quick sketches I put together to settle on a direction for the next round of this commission. I made a quick body rendering to situate him more minimally in the page, and I think this might be more of what the client wanted.

Inky Face

I decided to experiment with a new brush I don't normally use and the result is this inky linework on this face. I went through several iterations of him before settling on this one, but methinks I will remove the color fills if I push this drawing forward.

St. Scho for Angie 2

This is my week for small illustration jobs. This one is easier since it's a fashion sketch, and rather old school so I can handle the simplicity of it. Adjusted the school uniform and cleaned up the lines a bit, and offered an alternative look to the updated uniform.

Beloved Pup, 2

It's hard for me to decide when a pet portrait looks right. I think the features of a cat or dog are so subjective when viewed from an owner's eyes, that to draw one means I have to draw on what the owner views as the definitive look of his companion. So I went full literal with my portrait of this pup, and the client wanted me to take more liberties. So here's the 'rejected' view.

Summer Bather

I was online in a male nude forum, and I saw a screencap of a guy standing in a pond/river, and I thought it would make a nice drawing idea. So I closed the tab and drew one from imagination. I might finish this one up as a new piece.

Also Leaning, Done

I finally published this sketch and decided that I needed to lean into the more stylizesd part. I was holding off thinking I would perfect teh highlighting on his lower back and ass, and as I did in prep for posting, I decided, you know what? I like it more stylized. So that's how I tweaked the details and then published him on IG. Now I just need to hope they don't censor his ass....literally!

New Menswear Pose

I've noticed a rather simple but slightly new pose that many of the menswear models are doing. It's a typical First Position foot placement, but they put both hands on their hips and then sort of hunch over while craning their necks up, almost like a woman's pose of yore. This is me grabbing a wayward sheet of paper on my desk and sketching it while my computer was processing something and not to be bothered, lol.

Suitcock

I had a few more raunchy ideas for drawings, and I wonder if I should just draw them ore ask my model Nicholas to do them? I mean, he's always...er...up... for it.

More Naughty Chairs

I got inspired to keep designing these kink furniture items. I wonder if they would fly?

Naughty Chair

Nicholas asked me to design him a CBT chair a while back, so I thought I'd take a stab at it because i was inspired by the battle ropes at the gym and how the handles are rubber-dipped. I liked the matte texture and thought they'd evoke those bentwood chair legs from the aughts that I loved so much much.

St. Scho for Angie

My friend and erstwhile employer Angelica wanted me to do a fashion sketch for her upcoming high school reunion, featuring updated uniforms for her batch.

Beloved Pup

I got a new commission last week and I'm drawing a friend's beloved dog who is terminally ill. But look at that smile! So cute. I need to make sure I do him justice. This is my first rough.

Story Pose 4

I pulled up an old fashion sketch that looked good, but I can't recall why I reluctantly didn't publish it? I suspect it's because the garment I drew on it was lackluster. As is this new dress I made for the same pose, but I do like her face more.

Updated Walker 4

I didn't like my black model's face from previously, so I wanted to retool her facial structure to look more African, possibly Sudanese? I think I might need to enlarge her eyes more to look more like Adut or someone au courant...

Terrible Fashion Sketch

I tried to draw along with my students on the last day of model drawing for my second section, and I honestly did such a terrible job that I'm ashamed to put it on here. But it's the one with the pink background, if you wanna know. The rest are my students' work from that (last) day.

Half Nude Model 8

I decided to revisit this guy from last October in hopes of doing him as a post for IG, raising up his pants so nothing much shows. But I'm still not keen on that left arm—I haven't been able to draw it from imagination, at least not to my liking. Argh.

IKinka

I was thinking about whether or not the new furniture offerings at Ikea could be usd for kinky adventures, so I sketched some gals on one of their new chairs.

Model Drawing, Bridal Finale (Class 109)

Held my last class for one of my sections in model drawing, and we ended it with floor length gowns and wedding gowns. It was good to give the students that experience, I think. And it felt like a classical throwback to the fasion shows of yore, that always ended with a wedding gown. 

Updated Walker 3

She's getting better.

Updated Walker 2

I realize I have to fashion up sometimes—I draw with my comic book proportions more of than than not, and I feel I have to make the effort to fashion-ize them some more—narrower torso and limbs, smaller heads...

Updated Walker

I keep thinking I will make a new demo for my one year class, but then I wonder if it's too late. And then as I start one, i get caught up in the drawing and poses and get waylaid instead of doing it in a timely manner. This gal's an example of that scenario, as I don't know if she's good enough to publish yest I mentally argue that we should do what we can do in the time...
