More Tennessee

Here are some more pictures from the two days before the rainstorms started in Tennessee.


Above and below, my outfit for the Kimono party.


The two boys above are from San Francisco, and I have been dying to draw them both.  I hope to get them in the studio soon - they have both agreed to sit for me.

Some New Drawings



I have been doing a series of illustrations lately, and thought I would share with you.  I found the photo above in an old vintage Physique Pictorial, and thought it was very charming, so I used that image for the painting above.  I normally prefer to use my own photographs (or really, to draw from live models, although that is not always possible), but in this case, I thought the figure was so evocative, that it cried out to be used in one of my vintage style illustrations.  The image below was drawn the same way - the original pose was from an old magazine, but he was posed against a plain white ground.  I invented the ship and sky for the purposes of my image.



Shooting with Bruno

Here are some still from a video made while modeling for Bruno with some friends in my studio.  I want to post the video, but have been having a hard time figuring out how, since it involves full frontal.  Anyway, here are the stills.  I'll try to upload the video soon. Enjoy,

Bruno Photographs Dante

So my friend Bruno came over last week and photographed Dante, one of my favorite models.  Bruno is a good friend of my brother Marcelito's.  They met when Marcelito was acting in porn a few years back, and living in Milan. Bruno ran the porn company, and they actually ended up dating for a while.  Anyway, Bruno has been staying in San Francisco for a little while now, coming to my studio a couple of times a week to take photographs;  I have been sort of mentoring him.  I will tell his story later, but for now, here are a couple of the photos he took of Dante. 


I will be posting his photos for sale on my ebay store, which you can see here:

I'll also post more photos from this shoot soon,

The Boys of Bell Ami

A friend of mine who was until recently a successful Italian pornographer (my brother met him while he was acting in porn and living in Milan) recently borrowed me a large stack of beautiful nude male photography books.  I thought this one was particularly nice, so I thought I would share it with you.

The book is quite lovely, and is filled with beautiful black and white photographs of those beautiful Eastern European boys by the wonderful Howard Roffman.  Here are a few photos of what you will find inside,

Beltane Friends

 Here are some photos I took on my first two days at the Beltane festival in Tennesse, which I just got back from.  These photos were taken while the sky was still blue (record rainstorms followed shortly on the heels of these sunny scenes), and before I met the Other Felix, a gorgeous boy who made me forget my camera and everything other than his delicious self.  I spent most of Beltane trapped in a tent by the torrential rainstorm, but since I was trapped with the most beautiful, the smartest and the cleverest boy, in oh so many, ways, that time was spent pleasantly enough!  I'll describe our romance soon, but in the meantime, here are some photos from those first two days, spent lounging on the knoll, hanging out with friends and drinking at the Tequila party.  Enjoy!

The Knoll


Giordano and his boyfriend. Giordano has appeared many times on my website before.  He is my brother's ex boyfriend, and he and I will be going on a trip to visit my family together in Mexico in July, with trips to the nude beaches of Zipolite and to the gay bars of Mexico City and Guadalaja.  I'll add lots of posts when that happens!  Giordano is the cute boy in the overalls.

An Ordinary Day At Work



Here I am, sitting at my desk, working on some drawings, while my friend photographs a mirror behind my desk. A great view to rest my weary eyes!
