NSFW Group Show at New Profanity, West Hollywood

I See You I

I See You II

I’m going to have a couple of paintings in the NSFW group show at New Profanity in West Hollywood, opening reception is March 23rd.

These are an expansion on the coaster designs I made a few years ago that were quite popular (see the tondo gallery), I wanted to try something similar at a larger scale.

They are both acrylic on 16” circular wood panels. A bit different to my other current body of work but the theme is still pretty much the same. ha.

Interview with Cash Machine LA

 

I recently did a little interview with Jeanne Heo for Cash Machine LA, which is up on their site now.

They are also the publishers of The Sexy Times newsprint zine that I was featured in a few weeks ago (you can see my previous blog post with more info about that HERE :) )

For my artist portrait I used this self-shot memento mori image from one of my first forays into photography, which was almost a year ago now! I was so happy with how these images turned out, I need to try more at some point. I did add a small gallery of my photographic experiments to this site if anyone is interested!

Halloween Queen: Illustrated Style Feature in Auxiliary Magazine Fall 2021

I had the pleasure of illustrating another fashion style feature for Auxiliary Magazine, this time with a “Halloween Queen” theme for the Fall 2021 issue. I think this may be my favorite of these features that I’ve illustrated so far!

For my model inspirations I chose the beautifuly vampiric Dani Divine and couldn’t resist referencing one of my modeling images for the other figure. The orange hair seemed very fitting for the theme!

The Sexy Times issue 5

I’m one of the featured artists in the new issue of The Sexy Times, a newsprint publication of queer erotic art published by Cash Machine LA.

In the words of curator Jeanne Heo, The Sexy Times is a zine-project that aims to share creative expressions of eroticism from marginalized communities, while also critiquing the racist bias of Instagram's algorithm and shadowbanning of sex workers and non-heteronormativity.

You can read a little more info and purchase the issue HERE (please note: By ordering you are confirming you are 18+).

Also featuring some awesome work by:

Temple of Medusa

I am contributing to the upcoming “Temple of Medusa” art book published by Century Guild and thought I’d share a sneak preview of what is to come!

They asked the question “In contrast to the many renderings of Medusa’s defeat that have been created throughout art history, what would a visual testament to Medusa’s victory look like? If Medusa’s temple were built today, what works of art would adorn it?”

The question spoke to me immediately and rekindled in my mind a dormant series I began a few years ago, where I planned to retell Greek myths (in particular the absurd number involving r*pe) with the women defeating their aggressors.

For Medusa, I had in mind visuals of Judith beheading Holofernes and I knew that I wanted to create a powerful, statuesque Medusa who stands defiantly having defeated her would-be murderer.

Yes the helmet is absolutely a tribute to the original Clash of the Titans film produced by Ray Harryhaussen, which was my first introduction to Medusa as a very small child (and I remember even then before I knew her full backstory, I wished she would defeat Perseus. ha).
