After looking at the cover for the upcoming #comicbook project, I decided to try really pushing the roping pose… And that’s the good stuff! Much more dynamic, and ready to ink after a few touch ups. #gaycomicbook #gaycowboys #gaygeek

I’m just not quite feeling the #comicbook cover for project I’m working on. Going to try pushing the roping pose a bit (I mean a lot).

So what happens if you take Space:1999 (sci-fi deep cut), and reimagine it with a #gayporn vibe… this version is a trailer for VML’s upcoming GRUNT Night.

Second thought, this is going to lead to a lawsuit with the most “fucks” given/spoken in court.

A little bit classic #comicbookart style, a little #gaybondage

Another piece up on the show wall at Melriches Coffee Shop, 1244 Davie St. Vancouver, BC

On a cowboy kick of late, in time for stampede season I guess. A throwback to my growing up in a cow town, but the west was never that thirsty back then.

Hey Cowboy
4x6” watercolour and ink.
Continuing my dabbling in traditional media. Strangely I find watercolour closer to the way my brain understands colour than acrylic.

Painting outside because the weather is fabulous. So appropriate to be working on a beach day scene.
