A little more show and tell... This was a commissioned painting of Bethenny Frankel on Chelsea Handler's show. Every aspect of the photo was as the client requested. My apologies though... this is an iphone photo. Acrylic on a 24" x 18" canvas.
By the way, if you're interested in commissioning me to do a portrait or caricature, please email me. Thanks!
Please have a look at my facebook page.
This is an oil painting I recently finished. It's 13" x 13" painted on a wooden panel. So much of my work both for pay and for fun is rather tight. Working in this more loose/ painterly style is freeing and very enjoyable. Hope you'll like.

That Poppies painting is for sale on my Etsy site along with a limited edition of prints. Have a look.
This is a painting I recently finished. It measures 19" x 13" and was completed with gouache and watercolor on hot press watercolor paper. It's one of a series that explores several of my interests: Plastic Surgery, Japanese watercolors, and glamour gone wrong. Expect to see more Plastic Surgery fairies in the coming weeks. You can purchase a print here.
I love a gay bear. I do. They generally aren't too concerned with carbs or fat content. They generally aren't burdened with body hair grooming and some of the fussier styling traps a lot of gay men get caught up in. And generally they aren't walking the fashion runways and catwalks around the would. Praise be Vivian Westwood who featured this stunning bear in her show. (I'm applauding right now.) I absolutely love it. The model has yet to be named so I'm calling him Teddy. The Fashion Bear.
I prefer Teddy in the above outfit, but now that he's made it into the elite world of modeling, he'll probably have to wear some silly fashionable outfits.
Here's Teddy in one of the more ridiculous swimsuits I've seen in a while.
I'd like to asked Alexander McQueen what the heck is going on with this suit? Is it a woman's swimsuit on backwards? Is it a court ordered suit for guys who've been charged with public nudity? Is it a new suit for the Olympics? Or is it just ugly? Probably just good old fashion ugly.
Here's Teddy in an outfit by Thom Browne.
I guess it's for guys who have a butler fetish? Or.... or..... ?????....... I suppose it's the answer to the question What do you get someone for has everything? As chances are they don't have that outfit.
I hope we see more bears on the catwalk. I think it's a wonderful step in the right direction.
Expect to see more from the Fashion Bear on this site. If you enjoy looking at my drawings online, the next step would be having one or two or three in your home. Interested? Click on over to my etsy shop and take a gander. And your credit card. :) Much appreciated!

Hey everyone. My regular readers may have noticed that I've been posting a little less than usual. I'm working on some new drawings and paintings for an upcoming show and that's been my main focus. I will certainly continue to do my Tivo/ wine drawings and some pop culture illustrations as well, but expect to see more original artwork over the several weeks.
Medium: Ink, watercolor, watercolor pencil on hot press watercolor paper. 9" x 12"

I've been working on this party painting over the last few days. It contains a several of my fascinations: plastic surgery, glamour gone wrong, and fancy soirees.
Acrylic on a 30" x 30" canvas.
I was rummaging through my guest bedroom closet early this morning and opened a box that has been sealed for years. Inside that box I found some old sketch books and two- three ring binders full of magazine tear outs organized into clear plastic sleeves. In one of the sketchbooks, besides a variety of doodles and half finished drawings, were all sort of crazy quotes I written. So I'm showing here some of those full of photos sleeves exactly as I found them and digitally placed some of my quotes here and there.....
I also went through a stint about twelve years ago where I'd take some "gay literature" or porn photos as you'd call them and painted women's clothing onto the guys. There was something about their Hustler-ish poses that seemed to call for that. I also drew funny cartoonish heads on them. I unfortunately painted onto those photos with gouache and over the years, the paint had all but flaked off the originals. So I did some new digitally colored images on a few of those photos I found this morning.
I added some nutty quotes to a couple......
I'm enjoying a bit of break from the insane world of celebrity. Will be back soon.
Happy New Year's everyone!

When I'm not drawing Britney, TomKat, and the others, I often like to take a bit of a Zen painting escape. Painting flowers is a perfect palette cleanser for me. The above painting is done in oils on a 40" x 30" canvas.
This is also done in oils and is on a 36" x 36" canvas.
Have a look at my Hot Painting Of The Week category, if you like, and see some of the other things that capture my interest.
