Darlings, how are you? Looking fabulous as always. Here in the US we’re heading full-steam ahead into both winter and the “holidays”. The first is lovely and offers lots of austere beauty and opportunities for cozy snuggling. At the second, I shudder a bit. I, like so many other queer folk, have mixed feelings stemming from familial and societal disregard for my well-being and the heteronormative expectations of the season. Despite misgivings, however, the unrestrained glitter-bombing of ALL.THE.THINGS does have its appeal. Speaking of glitter, the traveling emporium will make another descent into the environs of New York City for the Dandyland Glitter Gala. Saturday, December 16th, 2-8 pm. Boxers HK, 735 9th Ave. It’s a lovely, queer and erotic art fair taking over all three floors of the Boxers sports bar (yes, the irony!) in Hells Kitchen. Oodles of fabulous queer creativity to round out your gift-giving for the season or to treat yourself. I’ll be offering original art, prints, and comics for all the Join me at the: Dandyland Glitter GalaQueer Holiday Market Until next time, flame on! 🔥 |

Hello, darlings, how are you? Looking fabulous as always. Nestled at the bottom of this morning’s round up of news from the New York Times was a fun little article (gift link) about the still on-going excavation of Pompeii. I mean, for how many centuries now have people been picking away at those lava-covered ruins? While finds like cool frescoes in a dining room garner coverage in major outlets, rarely does anyone discuss the amazing number of erotic works uncovered. Uncovered and then,...
One of the most wonderful spring rituals of the NYC area is the New York Botanical Garden’s Orchid Show. A fabulously steamy display of the sexiest flowers nature has to offer. You’ve got more sexual organs on display than even the wildest backroom. It’s on through April 21. If you’re in the area, check it out. Over the last couple of years, flowers have been showing up more and more in my paintings. So, on the occasion of my visit to this year’s extravaganza, I posed myself the question: why...
Darlings, how are you? Looking fabulous as always. Two juicy updates on my recent exploits at furthering my gay agenda. First, a naughty art show in the desert and then, a new chapter in the graphic novel. Two of my bois headed on a trip west for the Tucson Erotica art show running March 2-30. The show runs the entire month, punctuated with special events that look delicious. If you go, I hope you’ll share all the juicy details. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Sharing the walls with all the other...
