I just finished the new miniature (6x4”) oil painting. I’m really enjoying this format to get me through artist block when trying to think of bigger pieces! #oilpainting #lgbtqart #hotguy #miniaturepainting

I’m trying finalize my winter holigay card ideas and I’m thinking of these three: The first one is kind of melancholy because I actually hate the winter holidays. The next is a merman drawing that I did, and the third is a Hunky Jesus holigay card… what do you think?

Hello, I’m new on Bluesky, I’m excited to tryout this new platform. These are some of my recent paintings which are all based on polaroid images taken at a bath house in San Francisco in the summer of 1978. The bath house was called the Fairoaks Hotel and it was kind of a magical place!
