So…I was fiddling around a bit at my drafting table…still trying desperately to get my drawing groove back so I can pick up and continue on with my cartoon series, A Coming Out Story<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s been almost a year since I last updated it.\u00a0 (sigh)\u00a0 I think finally getting in touch with the object of my affections from way back then has really messed up my head on that one.\u00a0 It’s probably messed up my head in a lot of other ways too, all coming back to my creative sense.\u00a0 It just feels too tender right now.<\/p>\n

Every now and then I see a beautiful face or a beautiful pose and it sticks with me and I have to at least sketch it out, and maybe improvise on it a tad.\u00a0 So I’m not completely dried up.\u00a0 I suppose as long as there are beautiful males on this planet I will never be completely without inspiration.\u00a0 I sketched this out a little while ago, based loosely on a photo I ran across online.\u00a0 The pose was lovely, and you very seldom see nice cutoffs anymore.\u00a0 But I had to change it around a tad to suit me…<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

This is the sort of thing that causes some of my gay friends to question my homosexuality.\u00a0 But I am not into hunks, and I really hate the pejorative ‘twink’.\u00a0 Not that ‘twink’ doesn’t fit some guys, just not the guys I like.\u00a0 This guy’s entirely a figment of my imagination, like the pirate I drew a while ago, and like the pirate, I felt somehow like I was coming to know him while I drew him.\u00a0 He’s a bit on the lean side, but fit, and I tried to put a sense of playful energy in the pose, like before he’ll give you a roll in the sack he’d like to run you around the court a few times first to size you up.\u00a0 He’s no airhead.\u00a0 I tried to put some intelligence in the direct look he’s giving you.\u00a0 But he likes to be sexy too.\u00a0 There was a time when that was okay.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’ve worked on the pirate some more too, since you last saw him…most background stuff.\u00a0 Hopefully I’ll have enough energy this week to charcoal and ink up these two.\u00a0 But I can’t promise that.\u00a0 There’s a part of me that’s aching now…really, really badly…and it’s all tied up in with the drawing side of my brain.<\/p>\n

Now I’m going for a cigar walk.\u00a0 Then to bed.\u00a0 Hopefully to dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
