over the past week i have given introductions to myself and my artwork in almost all of my classes. and i am so sick of looking at all this sex stuff that i haven't actually done any art. when i started to do these male figures the mine field of figurative painting stretched out before me and i felt i had to have a stance and a controlled path through the treacherous territory. i don't know about that anymore. yesterday after checking out this british artist player who offers a mixed bag of "gay skinhead" and "mates" illustrations i feel all grossed out. The raunchier ones work better. two skin heads climaxing onto a third is pretty funny and intense. the mates stuff looks like a a skin head version of the illustrations on the back of readers digest. You know the suburban scenes populated with giant-headed families titled with shit like "week end warrior". the wrong kind of nasty. i had been thinking i wanted to move away from the typical gay male art focused purely around sex but i think i may just put the whole think on the back burner. i have a tendency to over think EVERYTHING. this may be a time when i need to chill the out
