Diversity Makes the World Go 'round
3 min read
Our bodies are beautiful. All of them. Most of us will only find certain body types attractive, which is absolutely acceptable. So long as we understand that our personal tastes in no way define what should or shouldn't be considered universally attractive. I don't believe any of us need to justify our desires, but we do need to remind ourselves that our desires are no more valid than anyone else's, and that the idea of a universal beauty is a dangerous thing to believe in. Even if everyone in the world voted 100% honestly, and a majority became clear, it would still mean nothing.
I realize most of my artwork propagates the so-called ideal female, but I assure you it is entirely sincere to me and me alone. As I've made clear in the past, I make no apologies for what I find attractive, and refuse to take responsibility for anyone else's self esteem. While I often lack empathy for the weak hearted, by no means do I ever want to purposely exclude anyone, or hurt their feelings. Both my gallery and my favorites collection showcase what I like personally, and does NOT represent what I believe every woman should strive to be.
A lot of the women I paint have augmented breasts. It may seem hypocritical, so after everything else I've said, I feel a need to touch on it. I support breast implants. Not because I believe it makes a woman look better, but because I'm a very pro-choice person in every regard, and I respect that it makes some women feel better.. While I wish no woman felt a need to augment her body to feel sexier, I still respect her choice to do so regardless of her reason, and I won't pretend I don't find the result every bit as sexy as natural or small breasts.
The artist in me is all over personal expression, and as far as I'm concerned, augmenting the size of one's breasts falls directly into that category. Along with tattoos, body piercings, or any other type of cosmetic modification. When a woman feels good about her body, she's going to feel great about herself. When she feels great about herself, it's difficult to ignore her confidence, and it's a lot easier to fall under her spell.. In essence, it's not the breasts making her attractive. It's the way she carries herself due to how she feels about having them.. So why do I perpetuate something I don't feel is necessary? I simply like the way the exaggeration translates in drawn art. Makes it larger than life.. so to speak
Be proud of who you are and how you look. Whether it's natural or you've modified the body you were given. Find a way to love yourself, and be just as happy for those who are happy with themselves. Support each other.
YOU decide whether you're beautiful or not. No one else has the ability to label you. They won't all see what you see, but that's okay, because we're all into different things, and it doesn't change a thing about you.

I really appreciate the support!
Sorry, I haven't been posting new ladies at my usual frequency, but I've been working on some more time consuming pieces. They're coming along, and should be up soon.... 2000.... Jesus.
Sincere thanks, everybody

Spent 2 straight days working the shit out of a new painting... This piece is fairly complex and I had it split into about 15-20 layers.
About 27 hours in, Sketchbook Pro glitches big time. The glitch caused all of the layers to suddenly merge into 1, auto saved, then closed itself.
So now I have no choice but to continue, old school. Working with everything on one layer, and I'm beginning to realize how spoiled I've been, painting digitally. I haven't painted on traditional canvas in over 2 years... Thank Christ I had the smart sense to finish the background early on.

On behalf of all artists who just don't know what to say sometimes.
I am usually a cool motherfucker, but I currently find myself in the depths of irritation. It seems every time one noticeably advances their skills, there's a brief period of doubt to follow. Out come the ignorant half-wits that seem to believe if they can't do something, then it's impossible for anyone else to have done it.. I've been a target in the past, and it's happening again.
When I first made the decision to become exclusive to pin-up and erotica, I prepared for conflict. I assured myself I was still a decent human being, and nothing anyone ever said would ever make me feel otherwise.. I am not a pervert. I do not have an unhealthy view of women. I am not a sexist... I was prepared to respond to all such accusations professionally and maturely.
What I was not prepared for, however, was doubters. It never once crossed my mind that anyone might assume I wasn't actually painting these myself. That they'd troll my work accusing me of art Fraud. These are the comments that sting. That piss me off. That always catch me off guard, and cause fear I may be ruined before I ever get the chance to make it big.
I really should just let this go, but I can't. On behalf of myself and every other hard working perfectionist that ever had their personal masterpieces and hard earned accomplishments bashed or dismissed, I am angered and saddened. It really breaks your heart sometimes.
It's not even the personal attack that burns me. It's the fact that some people just make assumptions before they ask questions or consider alternate possibilities. I've had people ask "Do you just airbrush over top of photos?" Which doesn't bother me. That is a legit art form known as photo manipulation, and a perfectly acceptable question. To this, I can kindly, respectfully answer "No"... But the degenerates that assume they know what's what, and leave the "So what, anyone can airbrush over a photo." comments, make me want to break something.. or someone.
Without sitting beside me for the complete duration of a painting, They have no idea what I did or didn't do and can only take my word for it. Just as I can only take another artist's word. I have studied Applied Art theory for 2 decades and consider myself fairly knowledgeable on the subject, and I can't tell whether art is original or manipulated. I can make a pretty educated guess, but I can't know for sure. No one can. Most of these "How to spot Art Fraud" tips are complete bullshit, folks. Made up by jealous Wish-they-were's who want to look legit in their crusades against people who are better artists than them, or simply refuse to consider anything beyond the easiest explanation.
--------------------------------
Realize this: I didn't just decide one day to try out this artist thing. I've been doing this since I was 3 years old. I couldn't afford action figures of my favorite characters, so I drew them. I couldn't have that badass muscle-car, so I drew it. I eventually fell in love with the idea I could make anything I want come to life through art. And in the 30 years that followed my first crayon drawing of a TV hero, I dedicated most of my life to making it all as real as I possibly could. And I got pretty damn good at it.
We, as artists, apply an obscene amount of blood, sweat, tears and time to our craft. It's an obsession. A compulsion. We have to do this, it's in our veins. And while enjoyable, it's also hard and sometimes stressful work... Serious Shit... Sometimes we turn to vices to help us cope. I personally drink too much coffee, smoke too many cigarettes, and have many times fallen victim to insomnia, insanity and depression while trying to perfect what few truly appreciate. It isn't like I whip each of these paintings up in an afternoon. Some of the more impressive ones take weeks, or even months. I have a particular WIP of Bar Refaeli I've been working on for over a year now!
Everyone has their trigger, and mine is being accused of shit I didn't do, by someone who has no idea what they're looking at. I am certainly not saying there is anything wrong with photo manipulation, and I'm impressed by those who do it well. It's a respectable art form, but it's not my art form, and I am too proud of the work I do, to allow anyone to discredit me.. Every time I am bluntly accused of manipulating a photo, I go through what I'm now calling "My 6 Stages of Pissed-off-ness":
1) Anger: MOTHERFUCK!
2) Fear: Jesus, What if my fans start to believe this shit?
3) Reassurance: Okay, calm down soldier, It's one asshole. They don't know you, you don't know them, it's not worth the aneurysm.
4) Acceptance: Some of this does kinda look like a photo. I guess it's a compliment, really.

So, here's where I'm gonna separate truth and myth, because I do sometimes resort to tracing line art. I am a very good detail artist and a great colorist, but unfortunately only an intermediate line artist. Blank white space intimidates me, so my initial lines have no confidence behind them. I often find myself erasing more than I draw. So, for my more epic pinups there are lines that get traced, but ALL detail, ALL paint, and ALL color is painstakingly applied methodically by hand, by an artist who doesn't always know what he's doing, but is determined to keep fucking with it until he stops saying "This still doesn't look right."
So, what gets traced and what doesn't:
1) LINE ART - BODIES:
When I get an idea for a pose, and can't seem to get it drawn right, I take to photos. I find as many examples as I can of women in roughly that pose, and study the lines. If need be, I cut the pictures up and use all the body parts to build a 2D mannequin. Once I have what I'm looking for, I reference or trace the mannequin I've built. Then I modify any traced lines, reshaping the body to the girl I have in my head.. Thin her arm, widen her ass, elongate her fingers, whatever.
With the ice broken, and something to build off of, I ignite. Nothing else needs to be traced. Every article of clothing or pattern there on, every piece of Jewelry, every nipple, navel, nail, mouth, eye, hair, orifice and freckle are drawn free hand, created the way I see in my mind.
Hair especially is one thing you cannot fake or trace... I mean you could, but you'd end up in an asylum by the end of it.. I've only lately started to get good at hair, and I think that's what has caused these latest few fraud accusations. (Having more realistic hair creates the illusion that everything else is now more realistic.) So lets lay this to rest too. Here's how I now do Hair: I draw in the basic shape of it, and fill it all in with a solid base color, so it looks like she's wearing a solid hair shaped helmet. Then I paint in different shade sections for depth. Then start drawing one damn strand at a time, stopping to trade out colors, as required, until it looks as close to real hair as I am capable.
2) LINE ART - HARDWARE AND PROPS:
Anything mechanical, requiring a specific make and model portrayal; i.e., firearms, motorcycles, guitars, etc. are usually 100% traced. Every single line, every little nut, screw and bolt. And even though I'm tracing, I go further utilizing a ruler, compass and digital oval trace tool, all for extra crispness. It makes no sense, to me, to spend countless hours painting a realistic human being, only to have them holding an M4A1 with skewed specs and proportions. It would ruin the whole image.
I don't just blindly trace whatever's on the first relevant picture I find. If the M4 in my painting is accessorized with optics, suppressors, aftermarket stocks, fore grips or other such attachments, you can believe I planned that. I decided ahead of time what I want on her rifle. I find a stripped standard issue weapon, and I trace it. Then I find images of the exact accessories I want and trace those too.
There are exceptions to the tracing of mechanical props. If it doesn't have to be shaped a specific way, then it's more fun not to trace.. Motorcycles are a good example of this: Crotch Rockets are more apt to look a certain way with certain lines, so those would be traced. But a rat bike or chopper on the other hand is much more openly artistic. So I would trace just the engine parts and perhaps the frame, then freehand the rest for my own unique bike design.
Another exception would be a chair or couch... Who gives a damn how furniture is shaped... Freehand. With the aid of a ruler for straight edges of course.
3) LINE ART - BRAND NAMES:
Just like hardware, If I paint something that has a recognizable logo or insignia in real life, It's going to have the same trades in my painting. And those trades will be traced to look sharp. So far, the exception is the Oakley "O"... I don't need to trace a warped oval
4) PHOTO STUDIES:
Throughout my gallery there are several paintings in which a photo was 100% copied as best I could. These say "Photo Study" in the description, and the line art for such paintings are more than likely traced. The purpose of these photo-studies is for practice and figuring out new techniques, so I don't care about lines. This is how I learn new methods to apply to my own creations. Problem solving. How do I make this look like that? While these can't count as original works, they still require the same level of talent, and I like to share the ones that turn out good.
--------------------------------
Lastly I want to point out the amount of research I do. Why? Because the more research I do, the more authentically realistic the result. The more authentically realistic the result, the more it probably looks like I must have manipulated a photo... I research everything. From subcultures, to brand names, to lighting in photography. Anything that may help me create a more authentic image. I take everything I learn and use it with my own little twists. Going back to the gun example, if I draw a military pinup that is clearly Navy SEAL inspired, I'll give her a SIG P226 over a Colt M1911A1... What camo are SEALs currently using? MICH2001 or Fast Helmet? RRV, BANSHEE, H-Harness or CIRAS? .. Research = true detail and authenticity. True detail and authenticity = greater realism.
Coupled with research is extensive thought in regards to the model. (I call my girls models. That's how I see them.) How does she think? How does she hold her weight? Who is this girl and how should she exist?.. Does she know how to properly handle a firearm, or is she just holding one, to look dangerous for the fun of it?
I think... a lot. I stare and stare and stare and indulge in delusional conversations with these women in my mind, until I have a better idea of how she'd come across if this actually were a photo.
Sigh.. I can't believe I've succumbed to all this. Don't be fooled by my artsy side. I'm still a rugged neanderthal who hates to share his feelings, so it weakens me somewhat to write this shit. Maybe it needs to be said, maybe it doesn't, but there it is... I apologize for the shit fest, but well, I get angry sometimes god-dammit
I love you all, and I'm gonna go paint now
.. Peace.

Here's the Skinny...
4 min read
I am seeing more and more campaigns for bigger women, and it's wonderful. Truthfully it's about time. For those women who consider themselves + size and feel just as beautiful as any lean model, I support you. I am 100% behind the "I'm beautiful too" posters, and none of the following tirade applies to you.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of women within your ranks, ruining your efforts by being bullies. Yes, bullies. Lashing out at everyone smaller, referring to all thin women as Anorexic or unhealthy. (And these statements are usually sure to include a picture of a toned fitness model as apposed to a girl who actually has anorexia... Jesus, I weep for the future.)
Anorexia is a severe, serious disorder that too many women and men are facing, and I can't help feel disgusted with those who are exploiting these poor souls in their attacks against anyone who has the will to work hard staying thin in a healthy manor. Calling all skinny girls anorexic (or unhealthy) is irresponsible, and ludicrous. It's as inane as saying every hefty person is morbidly obese. It's slanderous, and you're furthermore belittling anyone who actually suffers from the disorder.
If what we're told about bullies is true, then I guess the real issue is low self esteem. I'd feel bad for that, if not for your harsh attitudes. If you're proud of being + size, then why the need to hate on everyone who isn't? And please don't bother telling me that magazines make you feel overweight because all those girls are thin. Stop blaming society for your lack of self esteem and look inward. If you want to be lean, eat healthier and exercise. If you want more muscle, work out. If you're happy the way you are, stay the way you are. But be happy. Good happy people don't slam those who are different.
And before it can be thrown at me: Yes, I am mostly attracted to thin women. I do not feel a need to explain why, but will deny any allegation it has anything to do with what "society" dictates. Fuck society. I like what I like, for my own reasons, and that's all anyone needs to know.. I'm not interested in hearing what "Real Men" like. As a public pinup artist, I am well informed of what men are attracted to, and I can tell you, with confidence, that for every body type, there is an equal multitude of really great men ready to tell the world you are perfect. Because ladies, you ARE perfect. Every one of you. It's all relative... Not one of you is ever going to be attractive to all people, but every one of you is attractive to many people. No matter what size you are. Your body does not need the adjustment, but your attitude might.
Any man worth being with knows what he wants in a woman, and doesn't need you to tell him you're better. Some of you are actually driving off good men who were very much attracted to you, until you started dumping on other human beings.. Do you think he's going to want to bring you around his thin female friends after hearing you shit all over them? You just lost a sure shot by being ignorant.
I apologize for probably sounding like an ass-hole, but not enough people seem to want to touch this issue. Like they're afraid to speak out against a few individuals because they're from a minority or something. I'm sure some will read this thinking "Shit, is he hating on fat people?!" For god sake no. You must understand, I am speaking out against a particular, slanderous campaign style and hoping to send the message that a lot of us are not buying it... That there's a difference between being Properly Proud, and Proudly Degenerate .. I'd say the same against lean people who hate on large people, and trust me I have... But, I'm just not seeing any open public campaigns against the large.
