I paint.

Finished the last painting for my upcoming show “If Your Colors Were Like My Dreams” opening on Oct 25th thru Nov 30th @ericschindlergallery

You’re an artist. You take ugly and make it pretty. Because that’s what you do.

Three-day holiday and a fresh canvas sounds like a win-win to me. #painting #studio #newcanvas #artprocess #contemporaryart #queerart #lgbtqartist #artprocess https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0Rx3Luzrq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My new drawing obsession is making my ink drawings look like pencil sketches and my pencil sketching look like ink renderings. One of these works is not like the others. #inkdrawing #pencildrawing #malenudedrawing #figuredrawing #sketchbook #queerart #lgbtq #lgbtqart #gayart #malebeauty #drawingseries #gayerotic https://www.instagram.com/p/Cokcn82OpPr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Night Swimmers” 24x20” #acryliconcanvas 2023 #tedrandler No you’re not having dejavu all over again. A collector offered me the dream request of translating my 8x8.5” sketchbook “Night Swimming” work to this larger format. It afforded me the opportunity to provide more details and ways to paint moonlight on skin and water. #versions #moonlight #gayart #malefigurepainting #contemporarypainting #queerart #impastopainting #painting #lgbtqart #magicrealism #lakeromance https://www.instagram.com/p/CoieDYYulzF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
