Show Prep

Another day chipping away at framing the pieces for my show.  It's like the final icing on the cake that just gives each work that finished, polished look.  

I'll admit it's not a task I relish, because despite measuring twice I seem to always mess something up and have to re-do at least one mat. But I do love seeing my 'kids' all dressed up. 

New Release - Carl's Diner

I've recently been frequenting a few local diners for breakfast/brunch. The food is damn good, and I like that I'm supporting a local business. Anyway, that and a few hunky patrons are what inspired my latest work, Carl's Diner.

While the original is available for immediate purchase through the Lyman-Eyer Gallery, it won't be delivered until after my show ends.

Upcoming Summer Show!

I'm back this Summer for a show in Provincetown at the Lyman-Eyer gallery. As you may recall I took a much needed break from my annual exhibition there last year. This year I'll be easing back into the swing of things as part of a two person show.

I'm calling this selection of works Into the Blue. The opening reception for the show is July 11th, 7-9PM at Lyman-Eyer Gallery, 432 Commercial St. Provincetown. It coincides with what is known as Bear Week in PTown. The show will run until July 23rd. I'm looking forward to meeting old and new friends!

On the Drawing Board: Back to Work

It's been awhile since my last post, but I had surgery that was supposed to be fairly minor, then ended up being a bit more complicated.  Anyway I am home and mending.  I've managed to do a little work on the piece I started before my operation.  I'm having to take it easy, and will try to finish as many new works as I can before my show in July at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery in Provincetown. But I am behind schedule....speaking of behinds, how do you like what I've got done so far?

"Walls That Divide" Book Cover

I just received a copy of Walls That Divide by Michael Murphy, from DreamSpinner Press.  It's the latest book they've put out featuring my work (this time La Dolce Vita) on the cover. Cool :-)

Hopefully this summer, perhaps on vacation, I'll get a chance to start reading some of these novels, they all look so intriguing. 

New Release - Suburbia

The quick growth of hook up apps has made it a lot easier for single gay guys to meet. But it's also made it a lot easier for 'straight' married guys to act on their carnal homosexual desires too. And ask any gay guy whose uses one of these apps, guys on the "down low" are hardly a rare exception. 

My new work, Suburbia, is available for immediate purchase through the Lyman-Eyer Gallery, but must remain with the gallery through the end of my upcoming show this summer.

Stroke Exhibit Kicks Off in NYC

An exhibit featuring works by artists published in the gay magazines that many of us grew up with opened this past Friday at Leslie-Lohmann Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. As one of the artists included I attended the preview on Thursday. It's a wonderful collection of our gay history so please check it out if you can. The exhibit, curated by one of my favorite artists Robert W. Richards, runs until May 25th.

 

On the Drawing Board: dad's waiting

Here's a little corner of my current project.  It's inspired by all the (straight) married guys out there who like to hook up on the DL with other guys.

New Release - The Pick Up

Hmmm, the second blue pickup truck I've done this year. I wonder if my subconscious is trying to tell me something? 

While the original is available for immediate purchase through the Lyman-Eyer gallery, it must stay with the gallery until the end of my upcoming show this summer.
