At this point in the series, I was beginning a vacation from work, for a week! The plan was to complete as much as I could with my time. I worked on at least two pieces at a time. While the washes were drying on one drawing, I would work on another. My materials were spread out over the dining room table. My ex boyfriend cooked and watched horror movies, like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Final Destination series on cable. I occasionally glanced at the screen, as we talked about various subjects. It was the best example, of what it could feel like to be an artist full time. The flow of ideas were continuing, as I remained out of my own way with any self criticism. This series was becoming more of a leisurely and relaxing experience.
1. Body Machine # 96
2. Body Machine # 97
4. Body Machine # 99
1. Body Machine # 96, is a good angle of a close-up of the intercourse from behind. I like the " hills and valleys " perspective of his anatomy. It is one of my most arousing drawings to look at. The details turned out better than I expected. The angle of his face, along with the ballpoint pen shadings, create a solid composition of pen and ink washes combined. The headboard of the bed, is an added bonus for me in creating a foreground, middle and background effect. Erotically speaking, it can represent the ultimate fantasy for a lustful top.
2. Body Machine # 97, captures the intensity of sex and lust, as displayed in the eyes of the top. He is fixated on the " target of pleasure " with such force and consistency, while the opportunity remains available. This was a different approach to create a drawing with scenery in the subject's eyes. I have done this before many years ago, but not involving an erotic nature. The washes turned out surprisingly polished and the penmanship appears fresh, compared to the consistency of previous drawings, in this series. The lips are my favorite part of this piece. The fullness and darker tone, add to the polished smoothness of this particular drawing.
3. Body Machine # 98, brings us back to that symbolic window, mentioned in a previous statement. Facial expressions during sex vary tremendously, depending on how one's senses respond to their experience. I was once told about a different drawing of mine, that the bottom " doesn't look like he is comfortable or enjoying himself. " I believed I chuckled in response, because it was immediately translated to me that this person probably does not get it. I have never seen a sex scene, when the intensity of sexual intercourse was accompanied by smiling faces of joy! I am used to seeing more of a serious and concentrated expression. And yes there too are the moments of pleasure and pain that seems to come with the territory of the act of anal sex. And the smiles that were witnessed seemed more of a show for the camera, if filming took place. But even then it is rare that I have seen this. Especially on the bottom's face while being penetrated.
4. Body Machine # 99, displays another important symbol in homoerotic art. The scene of auto-ejaculation from the bottom during penetration. This represents the idea of pleasure achieved at its highest capacity for the bottom. This is one of my favorite symbols in homoerotic art, and I was glad to include it in my own drawings. I also believe in drawing what is humanly possible, regardless of its rarity, if it helps to extend my narrative. And because of men having a prostate in which can produce such an experience as hands free ejaculation, it seemed to be a great way to express the joy of gay sex from this perspective also.
