My work mainly of Pink Boys with the occasional other color Boys mixed in and sometimes tying it into some art historical references. I have grown to think of pink invoking sensuality of something forbidden in my work. In the Queer Homoeroticism world that they exist in, but they are proud to be that way. On the other hand, it is still a mystery to me. I like for there to be weirdness and humor added to them. The humor part mainly involves adding cigarettes and having things smoking when they wouldn’t be smoking something in the real world, whether it be a foot or some creature from my head. If I choose to include if I feel the piece needs it. The balance of weirdness and humor is delicate. It is needed to balance out the sexual tension in my paintings and separate them from the stereotypical gay art that originated with the work of Tom Finland and with the creation of Physique Pictorial in 1951. That way they are pushed to the Queer side of the Gay art spectrum.
