1." The Black Table " was created, during a period, when I thought more about older men, and sexuality. I wanted to dispel the stigma, regarding older men, experiencing erectile dysfunction, and lower libido issues. This does not happen to all aging men. And I wanted to create a story, involving men, with salt and pepper colored or gray hair. These men take care of themselves, and are still sexually active, with a high stamina. I began to observe and research images of older men, who were mature, attractive and continue to be physically active. It was very inspiring, and arousing to me, as a man being in my forties now. I began to do more drawings, that focused on mature men, with gray hair, who were physically fit and sexually active with each other.

Man Standing Before A Mirror      1. Man Riding Another Man, is another piece that was drawn with a brush and ink, with washes added. It was also done on a scrap piece of mat board. This is a position I like to draw, and it produces various outcomes, regardless of how it is created. This is a good angle to draw, because it displays the most in depth physical perspective of this sexual position, while including much space of the room within the same setting. 2. Man Standing Beside Car, was an early attempt at drawing a car effe...

Eric Dolphy and other jazz themed pieces

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. Eric Dolphy, is one of my personal favorite drawings. He is also one of my favorite musicians. This piece is inspired by one of my favorite photographs. It is by the great photographer Francis Wolff. A photo taken during one of Dolphy's recording sessions. I love the flute solos from this multi instrumentalist. The flute in general is my favorite instrument, if I had to pick one to play. One of the reasons, is because of the beautiful Eric Dolphy, who passed away too soon. He also was an incredibly gifted alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist. I consider his Out To Lunch album, as the " great American novel " in a musical format, by this awesome performer. 2. Swingin' Easy ( For Sarah Vaughan) is a tribute to my favorite singer, The Divine One herself. I wanted to capture the vibe and energy, of being in an intimate and small jazz club, while watching an amazing performance. The excitement and awestruck sound of Sarah Vaughan is just so otherworld...
