I decided early in the year that 2010 was going to be another 'Year of the Dawg' - a year devoted to developing imagery about my dogboy Scoot. I see myself as being a little bit like Dr. Frankenstein and he's my horrible, monster-baby. I know that If we put our heads together we can come up with many more scenarios to put him in. Maybe one day I will have enough images of this varmint to make a book or something.

Instead of an email list I use a yahoo group to notify friends when I'm up to something new. Lately, I've been using it to write about my life as the dawg owner. If you're interested in my work I hope you'll join:

Email me If you'd like to see what I have available for sale. I love finding good homes for my drawings.

It's always cool to hear from you.

Here's my 2010 poster for the Up Your Alley street fair in San Francsico, more commonly know as Dore Alley, that happens at the end of July.

This is the eighth year I've done their poster and it warms my evil little heart to be associated with such a debauched event. You can download the whole series here, as well as check out pics of the fair.

If you see my poster on the street in SF and it inspires you to take a pic with your camera phone I'd love to see it. (I hardly ever make it out west.)

I mean, who wouldn't want to add a book with a title like that to his or her bookshelf of homoerotica? It's so cool to have been included in this new Bruno Gmunder book which has a really interesting mix of photography and illustration. You can order your copy though Amazon.
How could I say 'no' to someone who wanted to probe my erotic mind?

One thing I did was break my new year's resolution to update this site regularly. Another was to remaster the technique of drawing with graphite and charcoal that I put aside a couple of years ago to focus on digital work. I guess I'm trying to make an original, pleasing, art object - something to hang on my [or your] boudouir wall.
It suddenly dawned on me that it makes sense that these recent drawings with the black chacoal backgrounds that I've been making lately should be set at night. Now I'm trying to learn how to render ephemeral nocturnal imagery such as the moon, fireflies, beams of light...
And nighttime is also when a young man might have strange, vivid dreams about bounding though fields and leaping over streams.
The show starts at midnight - he knows not to fidget while waiting for his cue.
to keep you amused.
The moon is full tonight. People will party. Dogs will bite.
I showed the six drawings below in an amazing group show called NeoInegrity - Comics Edition at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in NYC this past summer. It was strange and thrilling to be included in a show of comic book artists.
As if there's any doubt about who's gonna be the winner of this fight - everyone knows the cartoon hierarchy goes: mouse, cat.... dawg.
Don't tell anyone, but for the past year I've been attending The Queer Men's Erotic Art Workshop. You see, years ago in art school, I OD'd on figure drawing classes and vowed never to do draw the figure from life again. Nowadays though, it's really nice to do something that doesn't involve looking at a computer screen. It's also helps to find a life drawing group that gets hot models who don't mind whacking-off for an audience. Join my yahoo group to see more examples of my efforts.
Can you spot the difference? I did the color version of this drawing way back in January and the graphite one in December. I've spent most of this year trying to resurrect my graphite rendering technique so I can have something pretty to hang on my wall. I've come to think of my digital drawings as my sketchbook.
While going through my stuff and I found this pic my friend Stanley Stellar took of me, like, twenty years ago.
This was my contribution to the annual 'Postcards from the Edge' benefit for Visual Aids in NYC. It's nice to know that this little graphite drawing of Scoot found a good owner.
