There’s an artist here in Ohio, Paul Richmond, who paints a series, Cheesecake Boys. Most are probably familiar with his Christmas series. They remind me of Breyette only more cheeky and less erotic, more like Breyette’s Halloween art. I can’t recall if you’ve ever profiled him. I enjoy them.

How much time are we still spending covering this? She could have flown over the US in a red white and blue cape & it still wouldn’t have been good enough. Meanwhile the media let an unhinged felon go unchecked repeatedly. You don’t think focusing on him would have made a difference. Yes it would.

My opinion as a person and as an artist. Others can disagree. I still love the art you post. I don’t know of anyone doing it so thank you.

I have a strong distaste for AI art. It steals from artists making art without the aid of technology, using the skills they honed for years, and often with no credit whatsoever. It is also making us blind to what is real and what is fake… a line too far as far as art is concerned for me.

While I think it’s terrible we would even need to “fill in the queer absence” because artists couldn’t be overt, they still made art and gay people still found it. That history should stand as a lesson to us… and

I love that he began painting at the age of 60.

Votes against his party and garners vast attention right before the release of his book when he needs wast attention for book sales. It was never about the people, just lining his pocket

Promoting AI manipulating the Trump regime will only lead to more manipulated AI coming from the far right. It’s bad enough he lies continually, but now we are encouraging the leap down the rabbit hole of “is it truth or fiction” too?

Do not think race does not come to play here either. These 18-40 year old Caucasians are passed off as kids while 14 year old brown boys are being charged as adults in crimes. Imagine if a group called the young black caucus called for violence against whites.

Nearly 90% of New Jersey children tried as adults since 2011 were black or Latino
Mostly black minors requested to be prosecuted as adults, a WNYC analysis found when comparing the US juvenile detention system with that in Germany

I’d love to see a collection of these together. I’ve been creating my own collection on Pinterest.

Wonder why he didn’t remind them they would have to wait for back pay, so start using up your cash reserves, starting at midnight because the government was going to be shut down? (Rhetorical question.)

May? The media giving this guy a pass while holding everyone else to a higher standard is one of the major reasons he is in office. Own your mistakes and stop repeating them. I guarantee you when the next Democrat is in office, if this were to happen your headline would be completely different.
