More is More

I wanted to let you know I'm offering a couple of giclee print sets for a reduced price in my Etsy store. The Diva Inspiration Set includes "The Dollypop Guild" and "The Cher Within" for 15% off their individual list prices, and the Cheesecake Boy Set gives you six times the clothes-dropping fun with "Decent Exposure," "Room with a View," "A Fitting Surprise," "Rear View," "The Elevator Incident," and "Dog Days" also for a combined 15% discount.

Ramping up the Crazy

Is it just me, or do my contributions to things always sound a little crazier than everyone else’s? Case in point – two mini-reviews I found online of the “Being Gay” exhibit currently on display at 2nd City Gallery in Long Beach:

“The art includes collage, sculpture, photography, installation, oil & graphite and addresses such topics as homosexuality and evolution, gay icons, religion, AIDS, relationships, literature and the magic and fascination found in Dolly Parton for a Midwestern boy.”

Or, more to the point:

"This gallery features 20 artists of mixed mediums addressing homosexuality, religion, AIDS, gay rights, & Dolly Parton."

I suppose I wouldn’t have it any other way! :-)

New prints

I have some new limited-edition giclee prints available in my Etsy store, including the one shown above, "The Greatest is Love." Also available are: "born That way," "Contemplating His Dharma," "Mother Nurture," "Forgive Me Father For I Know Not," and more!

Mister Sister

I’ve donated some giclee prints to the Mister Sister Art Auction organized by the fabulous drag members of the Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The event benefits The Unusual Suspects Theater Company, a group that works with at-risk youth in juvenile detention centers, foster homes, and high-risk public schools teaching them through intensive theater arts and violence prevention workshops. My contributions include “The Dollypop Guild,” “The Cher Within,” and “Noah’s Gay Wedding Cruise.” If you're in the LA area and are interested in attending the March 7 event, you can find out more details here: www.lasisters.org.

Zero at the Bone

I just finished the cover illustration/design for my talented friend Jane Seville's new novel called "Zero at the Bone," which is being published by Dreamspinner Press. With their permission, here's a sneak peek. It's arguably the most macho painting I've ever made -- ironic that it's for a gay erotic thriller.

"Being Gay" Exhibit Invite

My painting "The Dollypop Guild" was selected to be in this exhibit, which opens in Long Beach, CA on March 7. Visit www.2ndcitycouncil.org for more details.
