I’ve been BUSY creating new [visual] art throughout February (instead of writing, which was the goal!). You’ve probably seen most of the recent works, which include: Gerry’s Flamingo, Dancer, Lion, Flamboyance, and my surprise 17-piece collection titled Visions of Meditation – but there’s more! Today I’m unveiling 8 new pieces – in just this one post! As usual, I’ve added small descriptive paragraphs…

The Sochi Olympics and New Art: “Flamboyance”
The Sochi Winter Olympics are upon us – and not without controversy. Last summer, President Vladimir Putin endorsed and signed anti-gay legislation, and recent viral videos suggest that members of the Russian LGBT community are now living in an increasingly hostile environment. Leading up to these Olympic Games, videos and reports have emerged highlighting detestable acts of animal cruelty…
New Art: Lovebush
I was toying around with some ideas and thought “a Valentine’s Day-themed comic might be good.” So I created “Lovebush.” Inspired by a couple strip club stereotypes and [partially] by my trip to New Orleans a couple years ago, I came up with an odd-looking man who’s fallen in love with a stripper named Petra. Hope it makes you…
New Art: “Kingdom Mask” Series Addition: Lion
Last year, after seeing David Wolk’s Charm Ape Exhibit, I was inspired to create the “Kingdom Mask” series (see Art of 2013) – a series of human bodies/forms with animal heads (“masks”). I now present to you, the newest addition to the series, titled Lion. Inspired in part by the “Charm Ape” (baboon) I created last year, and in…
New Art: Red Blooded Dreams
If you’re familiar with my work, then you know I’ve crafted nude, or erotic, art before – but this is probably the most daring piece I’ve shared publicly. For Red Blooded Dreams, I took the idea of a “wet dream” (nocturnal emission) and combined it with a stimulant – a curvaceous and nude female figure. I…
New Art: Kanani and Lack-a-Nooki
My Uncle David is always has a cliché joke up his sleeve. One of them is about a Hawaiian disease that afflicts the non-sexual: Lack-a-Nooki. While I was sitting around the house waiting for the snow on the streets to melt, I figured I’d see what Lack-a-Nooki looks like on paper. This is what I…
New Art: Gerry’s Flamingo
I came into this year with an optimistic outlook – but between funerals, health scares in the family, frigid cold temperatures and snow, and a [so-far] failing fitness/health campaign – it’s been a little tough. In early January, there was concern that my Aunt Gerry may have had cancer [again], so I channeled my emotions…
