About Me

Serious, professional artist working in a classical, realistic style seeks male couples or singles as models. I’ve shown in San Francisco, L.A., Toronto, the Seattle Erotic Art Fair, and have won an award from the Tom of Finland Foundation. I'm a member of the cooperative City Art Gallery in San Francisco, where I continue to show periodically. My work appears in “100 Artists of the Male Figure” compiled by E. Gibbons and published by Schiffer and in the fall 2011 issue of the magazine, “Art of Man,.” and (very poorly reproduced) in "My Gay Eye," published by the TOFF. Many of my subjects are taken from classical mythology. At present I'm working on drawings that incorporate people from old postcards and photographic visiting cards from the mid nineteenth century with modern models, animals and birds.

Samples of my work are here; website address available on request. I’m also happy to share my work in studio visits; it’s very different in real life.

I draw from photographs as well as from life; I’m looking for men with interesting faces to photograph dressed, draped, and nude. I must emphasize that II am not a professional photographer, and the photos I take are not ends in themselves: they are source material for my works on paper. Let me re-emphasize that I am NOT a photographer. But I take so many pictures in each session that some are bound to be useful to the models.

I don’t compensate you financially for posing, but in addition to copies of the pictures, if I use your image in a large drawing, you will eventually receive a small signed portrait of yourself.

Note that all photos taken during the modeling session are private and only you receive a copy of them––I never exhibit or circulate them in any way. Of course you may do with them what you wish.

If you are comfortable being nude in front of a camera, please contact me and I will reply. Who knows? Maybe I’ll make you an immortal.
