"Ornate Mate" - ORIGINAL PAINTING - Pencil/Graphite, Watercolor and Gold Metallic Paint

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Wed, 30 Jul 2014 02:46:00 +0000

Hello Friends and Collectors,

I am happy to present my latest watercolor painting "Ornate Mate". I started off with the decotative-motif and then researched a pose that would fit the elegance of the design and the format of the watercolor paper. It felt good to take a new approach and I am pleased with my work! { This is also my first painting using gold-metallic paint --adding more elegance and interest.} : ^D

"Quiet Hours" - A Graphite/Pencil drawing on Textured Watercolor Paper

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Sat, 10 May 2014 20:40:00 +0000

Hello Friends and Collectors,

I'm happy to present my latest drawing to you all!

I decided to keep with my inclination to keep things simple and do another pencil drawing. My 1st love (as far as drawing medias go) has always been the pencil. Nothing brings me more joy and appeals to my handmade-intuition than graphite. I find that utilizing this most-humble and ordinary medium produces a more active and interesting nude.

Here ya go!:

New! Standard-Size Offerings! I proudly-present the 1st (more to come): "Modern Fitness" { 5" X 7" (inches) }

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 02:02:00 +0000

Hello Friends and Collectors,

I have decided to offer standard-size pieces of art...that is standard photo-print sizes ( 5" x 7" , 4" x 6" and 8" x 10" ). I want my collectors to be able to 'pop' my art into a frame and be able to enjoy it on their wall, dresser, desktop, or mantle right-away! I also plan to include frames with select-artworks soon, so I wanted to make things easier on myself as well. By all means get them custom-framed, but at these convenient-sizes they will be safe and visible until you can get down to the frame shop. :^D

I am pleased to have a fresh Mixed-Media (graphite/pencil, acrylic, gesso, and matte-medium on recycled card/chip board) painting to Offer-Up for Sale on eBay ( http://myworld.ebay.com/lerobinetart ). I will also be posting Limited-Edition Signed Prints of "Modern Fitness" on my Etsy Shop in the next 3 days. (FYI: I plan on having Prints available within 3 days of offering the Originals on eBay from now on.)

About "Modern Fitness":

This piece features an athletic, mustached, and bearded hunk about to get undressed after an intense workout at the gym! This piece is dedicated to the ab-lovers out there! (...& honestly who isn't one?)

I wanted to do a piece that could be displayed prominently in the home-gym or bedroom...my 'raw' artworks are fun to make, but I suspect most people wouldn't find them 'appropriate' for prominent-display.

Another goal for this piece was to make it feel more modern/post modern by calling-attention to the mediums and by making the piece have a very bold/graphic and otherwise design-centric feel. I also added dimension by painting the front of the figure (foreground) white and the back of the figure black...so this makes me imagine that the man is standing if front of an extremely-bright fluorescent light or a waterfall.

I threw all-convention aside as-far-as painting the figure, and instead showcased my pencil-drawing skills...forevermore laid bare for you to admire. The traditional technique in rendering the figure contrasts quite-nicely with the flatness and simplicity of the painted background. I get the purest-joy from my pencil-work (as I first mentioned when I presented my piece "Hatchling" ).

I love how warm and inviting the brown of the recycled cardboard is, and the way the pencil sits on the subtle-texture of it. The graphite has a nice sheen that pairs well with the matte-finish of the cardboard.

My decision to split the piece into black and white occurred-naturally as I began to sketch out the figure and decide upon the scale...I like that the figure cut the picture-plane in half, and I loved the contours of the body which really inform the "negative-space" of this artwork. From a distance the eye will be drawn to these contours, but the viewer will have to step closer to see the delicate-rendering and detail of the pencil unfold...this is fitting to me, because---after all, the human figure is the subject and deserves more focus/meditation.

About the sweat-bands: My favorite color is red, so I couldn't help but a dash of color, and I feel it adds a photo-filter kind of aspect to the piece. People sure do love their photo-filters these days! ;^P | This color-blocking adds a bit of flash and another aspect for the viewer to ponder.

( Note about durability: The piece is finished with an abrasion-resistant coating, so you don't have to worry about smudging the pencil or chipping at the paint...it also adds moisture-resistance to the cardboard.)

Here's the ART!:

"Power Packed" - Original Watercolor Painting

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 02:14:00 +0000

Hello Friends and Collectors,

I am pleased to have a fresh small-scale watercolor painting to offer up for sale on eBay ( http://myworld.ebay.com/lerobinetart ). I will also be posting Limited-Edition Signed Prints of it on my Etsy Shop in the next 3 days. (FYI: I plan on having Prints available within 3 days of offering the Originals on eBay from now on.)

About "Power Packed": I wanted to do another 'raw' painting/illustration...I use 'raw' to describe pieces that depict erections, masturbation (any touching of the penis), sexually-explicit acts, and as this piece introduces/presents--butt-hole shots ( 'raw' is basically anything beyond a nude. I designate this because
they are not "run-of-the-mill" nudes, and there are certain etiquette-rules on eBay and Etsy for presenting and selling these works, mainly censoring of these works on main search-results.

This piece is very erotic, but I made-sure to add a-bit of fun, by having the hunky-figure hold his feet in a playful and flirty manner. Having his hard-cock obscure his mouth also adds to the uniqueness of this piece. I wanted to get away from drawing and painting a typical-bed, so I chose to render a hardwood-floor, I also did this to have allude to the man being in a cabin...living in the Pacific Northwest I idealize nature and things related to camping, mountains, etc. I used the pillows as design-elements, and I am most-pleased with how it turned-out because I feel it adds a lot of depth to the piece. I am attracted to guys that have indie/alternative/scruffy/mountain-man looks ( I wanted to cover all the bases ;^P), so that's why I made the figure have the facial-features he has. I know that a lot of my figures have brown hair and green eyes, this is just what I like, so I tend to go in that direction, but I'm going to try to change it up from time-to-time. [ If you enjoy my style and want to commission me, I am willing and able to depict any type of guy you desire.] I named it "Power Packed" early into working on the piece and it really lived-up to the name.

Here it is!:

First Watercolor Painting of 2013: " I'm A Lucky Guy! "

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 04:05:00 +0000

Hello Friends and Collectors,

Here I am with my first post of 2013! :^D | My apologies for not writing or posting art for quite a while...I have been busy with my other non-homo-erotic art endeavors. I wish I could devote the majority of my time to my gay art, but I have to make a living by other means, at least until I can get more exposure or an art-patron (or several! ;^P) Please consider 'liking' my page on Facebook { http://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Robinet-Gay-Art/226651510683135 } and help me get my art in front of more male-form enthusiastsl!

I am also going to be offering PRINTS of my work on my Etsy shop in the next few weeks (I will make a blog post when they are up): http://www.etsy.com/shop/LeRobinetGayArt , so be sure to bookmark or save my shop as a "Favorite" if you are on Etsy. I am sure I will be adding more 'goodies' there, so check-back often! ;^P

Okay, now I want to tell you about my latest Watercolor Painting, I have titled it "I'm A Lucky Guy" because it features a sexy-couple in a bedroom. The standing figure has his sights-set on the viewer, and has a look of confidence and cockiness, as if he's saying "Aren't you jealous?" or something cheeky like that! (Hahah.) Kind of like a Le déjeuner sur l'herbe (English, "The Luncheon on the Grass") [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_d%C3%A9jeuner_sur_l%27herbe ] kind of deal! ( I can't help but smirk when I imagine those art-critics/judges seeing my handiwork! Too much!) I have done other paintings that are very-erotic, in-that they depict erect-cocks and other enticing sexualized-poses, but I wanted to create more of a narrative with this piece...having more than one figure always creates more drama/interest!

I hope you enjoy it and will consider Bidding via my eBay Page: http://myworld.ebay.com/lerobinetart

"Hatchling" - Original Pencil and Coffee on watercolor-paper DRAWING

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 01:08:00 +0000

Hello Friends & Collectors,

I'm happy to present my latest drawing to you all!

I decided to keep things simple and do a pencil drawing. I have been creating a lot of detailed paintings and mixed-media artworks for this branch of my artistic endeavors, but my 1st love (as far as drawing medias go) has always been the pencil. Nothing brings me more joy and appeals to my natural-inclinations than graphite. I find that utilizing this most-humble and ordinary medium produces a more active and interesting nude. The Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha has inspired my cross-hatching technique, and that is where I got the title for this piece as well. Like the piece itself, I wanted the title to be simple and direct, it's a small piece created with 'hatching', so there you have it: "Hatchling". I can almost hear a sigh-of-relief from you as you read this...hooray! no lengthy-entry about vocab! (just kidding!) Don't worry I have more where that came from!!! ;^P Oh yah, and to bring more dimensionality to the piece I added a light-wash of coffee, I love the tones coffee makes, and now that I live in Seattle I feel it is befitting! I practically stay-alive on coffee, so it's nice to pay a kind-of homage to this popular beverage. ^_^

So here it is in all its simple-wonder:

"Hatchling"

NEW Mixed Media piece!: PIQUE

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 03:33:00 +0000

Salutations Collectors and Friends,

I am very excited to share my newest homo-erotic artwork with you all! My latest piece is a small mixed-media drawing of a cute fella with a "too-hott-to-handle" athletic body! This artwork began as an experiment that proved to be successful and transformed into the finished piece that I now present to you all below ^_^.

What was the experiment? Well, I had some matte-medium that I had purchased in-error a while back (I usually use the more transparent type) and I also had some sturdy cardboard from an old sketch pad so I knew I wanted to use these for a new work of art, and being of an ecologically-sustainable mind I always want to utilize materials that are every-day, and that may be lying around my apartment. Don't get the wrong idea...my desire to use these items stems not from a hesitation to buy new art supplies (I love art supply-shopping although it can be overwhelming with the myriad of goods available and new innovative offerings! ) , but because I enjoy being resourceful and using what I already have...perhaps it is a remnant of my up-bringing by Depression-era grandparents? Whatever the reason, these materials, and this process, inspires me more than the removal of plastic-packaging and that "new paper smell". I love simplicity, natural fibers (the look/style) and evidence of the human hand (touch) upon a creative work. The bonus of this combination of materials is that it is very stable and the matte-medium creates an acrylic-coat which is moisture and scratch resistant. I also didn't know how this ground (the stable part/foundation of the art piece) would work with dry media (colored pencil, chalks etc.) and I am so glad that I liked the way they interacted, which was quite smooth and visually-appealing.

I have often struggled with what to write about for this Blog, but I have decided to keep it casual and just talk about what I feel is most relevant to the pieces, even if is is just about the materials-used or the process used to create them. I am sure I will write about personal things on occasion and have more 'backstories' behind the pieces, but I am just going to stop 'over-thinking' it, as this has not done me any service in the past.

Now to talk about the Title of the piece: I went through...let me just count...24 different ideas, but finally settled on "Pique", so here I go with my foray into vocab as I have done in the past:

verb (used with object)

1. to affect with sharp irritation and resentment, especially by some wound to pride: She was greatly piqued when they refused her invitation.

2. to wound (the pride, vanity, etc.).

3. to excite (interest, curiosity, etc.): Her curiosity was piqued by the gossip.

4. to arouse an emotion or provoke to action: to pique someone to answer a challenge.

5. Archaic . to pride (oneself) (usually followed by on or upon ).

[ pique." Dictionary.com Unabridged. Random House, Inc. 04 Oct. 2012. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pique ]

____________

+ Here I was going for the 3rd and 4th definitions of this word. +

_____________________

I thought it fit the piece perfectly, because of the same reason this word is misused...because it get's confused by "peek" and "peak" (as the figure is allowing the viewer to take a "peek"...so both pique and peek add to the subject illustrated.

More on the misuse of this word:

This is what the Washington State University had to offer on this common error ( http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/peaked.html ):

It is tempting to think that your attention might be aroused to a high point by “peaking” your curiosity; but in fact, “pique” is a French word meaning “prick,” in the sense of “stimulate.”

The expression has nothing to do with “peek,” either. Therefore the expression is “my curiosity was piqued.”

An amazing number of people write about “mountain peeks.” A peak is a summit; a peek is a glimpse.

_____________________

I thought the expression ( "my curiosity was piqued" ) used "peak" as well, so by sharing this information I hope this error will be made less in the future! ^_^

+++++++++++

All-in-all: I want to Thank everyone who visits my humble-Blog, and I want EVERYONE to know that with Le Robinet Gay Art nothing is simple... I put a lot of thought, hardwork and care into each and every work of art I produce. I LOVE being able to say that I take PRIDE in my pieces and that I have never offered anything up for sale that I could not stand behind 100%. I have often wanted to churn my art out rapidly, but every time I have to submit to my somewhat-slow and conscientious process...that's just the way I roll, and there's no sense in trying to go against it ( I have come to realize ).

That all being said I would really appreciate the Support of my Readers/Viewers in any-an- all ways possible, from Sharing LeRobinetGayArt with your friends by following me on Facebook and Twitter TO adding a few pieces to your personal art collection.

{ I still need more "Likes" on Facebook to have my page operating at full-capacity! ;^P wink! wink! }

I truly believe that my success relies on My Audience as much as it does on my skills!

Thanks again, Jesse

~ * BackStory * ~

About “Feel Out The Forms” [watercolor on thick-illustration board painting]:

This piece started out with the pose, as most of my artworks do, because the figure is the focus... I don't see much of a chance for the scene to be successful if the figure doesn't have a captivating, appetitive or otherwise – interesting pose going on (akin to the saying “you can't make a good painting if you don't have a good drawing” or other variants of foundational-skill/preparation). After deciding what pose I wanted to portray I started thinking about the background. I have noticed that the backgrounds in a lot of homo-erotic/gay art pieces are left a solid color, or if there is any indication, it seems like an 'after-thought'...I wanted to change this trend –at least in my own works. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying I won't ever do a 'simple' background piece ever again, and I can also see the practicality in not spending time on the background (I even did the 'simple-solution'/'minimal-backgrounds' myself) when I was busy with my art school course-work, but as I am working on a piece I start to get antsy, and I start to ask myself what do I want to 'say' in this little 'stage' --this time? I often jot down little key-words that pop into my head, and for “Feel Out The Forms” the words “flourishes”, “home decor”, “whiplash curls” ,"ornate" and “opulence” came to me. I also wrote “A touch of feminine with the masculine” and “Textures-fibers-visual interest” below that on my sketchbook page. I guess this is like my 'road-map' and it is certainly coming 'in-handy' as I am typing this all out.

About the Designs in "Feel Out The Forms": I didn't just want to make up the designs, so I referred to a book of Islamic designs for motifs that I fancied. I eventually found a design that I felt would work well for the wall border/trim-design, and another design inspired me to create the “alien-flowers” as I have since dubbed them...they were amongst my favorite parts during this artwork's progress! Oh, perhaps I should add a bit about what I meant by “a touch of feminine with the masculine”: well, I meant that I wanted some soft and delicate elements to counter-balance/-act the masculine subject and the highly-erotic action being depicted...I am sensitive to sexism, but I do think that people generally associate home-decor and furnishings to originate from women, so this association 'worked' to get me inspired for the piece.

Other Inspiration/Note-Worthy: I also strongly believe that my love for the work of Art Nouveau artists, especially Alphonse Maria Mucha, influenced my the direction my gay works are taking at present. Mucha always has such ornate and lavish décor surrounding his 'pin-up' vixens (well, of that era), so I wanted my Male 'pin-ups' to have the same privileges! ;^P .

About the body-type of the figure: I wanted this piece to have a 'manly-man' –a man with some nice muscle-y--curves and toned 'meat on his bones'...basically the opposite of me, as I am a skinny, nerdy man blessed with the frame of a 'twink' for all time! I guess I could bulk up a tad?! ...but I will never be the Adonis-like characters many of these leather-daddy and bondage porn-stars evoke. Oh well, I guess I wouldn't be an illustrator if I had a bod like them! Heheh! I accept it! Anyway, one cannot survive on 'twink' bodies alone, so I was much more 'turned-on' by this figure versus a slim one ('this time-around'). I'm also happy that I decided to add the beard and body-hair to his legs (one of the most challenging parts of this painting) because I like men with a little more scruff/edge currently...that and tattoos... (I am strongly considering doing some pieces with tattooed hunks now) Deee-lish! The background also started to take on an 'exotic' feel, no-doubt because of the Islamic motifs, so I wanted the figure to look like he could be Middle-Eastern or some mixed exotic ethnicity ( I need variety from time-to-time...what can I say?! :) ).

A few last things: I wanted to mention my use of pencil in this piece (because I already wrote out a quick 'blurb' in my sketchbook about it!) Here goes: I'm not a fan of “goodbyes”. I like to leave my pencil lines and to not-always re-ink/paint the linear areas of my works because I like to leave a 'history' of my process...or rather (–more specifically), of the moment my hand created the lines. I strongly-feel that it adds “an energy” that I feel 'polished'/'professional'/'highly-finished'/'clean' art pieces lack...then again I am severely-biased, as my 'love-affair' with all that IS the simple, iconic, classic PENCIL started long ago! In short, when I do cover my pencil lines, I do so with much hesitation! PHEW!

Okay, this IS the LAST thing: I wanted to mention the term/vocab that is a form of the pencil drawing + shading before I started to add the Watercolors, and the term is “Grisaille”, here is the definition from Dictionary.com:

gri·saille

[gri-zahy, -zeyl; Fr. gree-zah-y^uh] Show IPA

noun, plural gri·sailles [-zahyz, -zeylz; Fr. -zah-y^uh] Show IPA for 2.

monochromatic painting in shades of gray.

a work of art, as a painting or stained-glass window, executed in grisaille.

{For more in-depth information visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grisaille ~A GREAT entry!}

I learned about this in my 1^st year of Art School when my Analysis of Form class visited the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco...it has always 'stuck-with-me', and I wanted to impart this art knowledge to the masses! ^_^.

I like working on the shading and establishing the crucial areas, because it really helps me to achieve more accurate and subtle-details of the male physique in the painting-stage.

I am so happy that I could add more of the detail,whimsy, and 'fun' that I enjoy putting into my non-gay/homo-erotic illustrations, and I hope you enjoyed this installment!

I hope you enjoy my newest Painting, and that you will consider bidding on it!

Painting Progress Pics: "Feel Out The Forms" [2012]

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:06:00 +0000

Hi!

I'm still finessing the figure in "Feel Out The Forms", and I must say that he is looking mighty fine, but I thought I'd post some photos of the painting process...it's always fun to see how the colors change the whole piece in just a few strokes and 'scumbles'* of the brush! I decided to go with fun--'gay' colors to bring an exotic and radiant feel to the scene.

*(that's what I call rapid-brush movement when I'm blending the colors ;^P )

I want to save my spiel ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spiel ) for the 'final-reveal' of the finished painting, so here are the photos without further delay:

Show & Tell [ S&T ]: "Feel Out The Forms" Progress Drawing - Pic 1

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 21:51:00 +0000

Hello Friends!

I'm busy with the tail-end of a New Piece titled "Feel Out The Forms", which is my most "illustrative" to-date. Now that I have the time and I have my Art Education I am going to add aspects of my non-homoerotic art process in order to bring more elegance and detail to the men of Le Robinet Gay Art {LRGA}. I hope you enjoy this latest development of mine! ^_^

Now, I guess I'd better explain the title a bit...well, the Title-- "Feel Out The Forms" came to me while I was drawing this art-piece on heavy-weight Illustration Board (which is also a first for LRGA; I Love to work on hard-surfaces! ;^P } ,and I was going through my usual drafting and composition of the illustration, and I began to think about what my latest Hero was doing in the image, and the 2 actions seemed to be akin to each other: he is feeling out his "form" and I am telescopic-esqely--(I don't think that's a word, but it sounds funny so I'm gonna leave it!) forming [creating] his world. Get what I mean? Kind of like a distorted Mirror/Alternative Universe thing, oh heck, I'll leave it be. Furthermore...(heheh) sperm [Cum.] is the seed of our human creation, so I like the 'marriage' of the masturbatory-analogy. Hmmn, is 'masturbatory' the right word? Let's ask Webster:

noun

1.the stimulation or manipulation of one's own genitals, especially to orgasm; sexual self-gratification.

2. the stimulation, by manual or other means exclusive of coitus, of another's genitals, especially to orgasm.

_+_

Yes, I think it fits, even though I'm not exactly 'masturbating'-out a picture, but in a way I am getting "sexual self-gratification" while creating this piece...there's no point in denying that, because without this passion and desire I wouldn't bother creating any homo-erotic art.

_ _ _

Some Random-ness from the Day of this Post for Good-Measure (to ground this piece into History):

Tellurian\ te-LOOR-ee-uhn \ , adjective, noun

1.Of or characteristic of the earth or its inhabitants.

noun:

1.An inhabitant of the earth.

I find it fitting that this piece reminds me of humanity---dwellings/environment and our human origins (sperm--birth)

I also found this quote to relate to this Artwork as I am creating it, I am now trying to tell more of a story with Le Robinet Gay Art and that's the Challenging part, trying to make connections and to hopefully transcend the flat-image, to make the artwork become something more than the sum of it's parts--a whole for all to look upon, examine, and appreciate!

NEW for 2012 Watercolor Painting:

"The Cock & The Starfish"


"The Cock and The Starfish" - Copyright 2012 Le Robinet Gay Art. All Rights Reserved. -

Why "The Cock and The Starfish"?
Well, because I find it humorous...there is a 'fun-absurdity' to gay art--a vulgarity that is freeing! I like blatant-"tongue-in-cheek"-iness, it helps me get through my day, what can I say? {That, and I read a lot of Camus, along with some Marquis de Sade and Oscar Wilde thrown in for good-measure).

I like the idea of using slang (idioms) to describe works of art, especially homo-erotic art, this piece--the pose that is depicted is specifically directed (targeted) to gays as it evokes appetitive desire...I think it's safe to say that men who are attracted to other men want to see the entire 'nether-regions' of men they find attractive...to look-upon the front and rear simultaneously is one of the most enticing "money-shots" of these Porno-Obsessed (as well as information, advertising,---Technology----Hyper-glut!) times. Things seem to be less and less sacred...maybe not, but you always hear those stories of the how things used to be, the "good old days"...well those days are gone. (Listen to Amy Macdonald's song "Youth of Today", that's what I mean.) I know that sounds pessimistic/cynical, but that's not my aim...not entirely anyway. I wanted this piece to 'belong' to the Present-day, to reflect the "in your face" nature of these Times. The starkness of a world less in-tune with myth. So enjoy the cracked Aesop's Fables-esque Title! Just shake your head and say Yes! {Okay, that's enough of my crazy-ramblings for now. ;^P }

In other news!: I love how this piece turned out, I spent about 3 hours a day over the course of 3 days to finish it...I don't like to rush and "churn"-my art out, and I also don't like to get my self frustrated and agitated. [Slow-and-steady wins the race!] I also allowed myself to really add on detail and work on color in-relation to my older works which were produced in more of a time-crunch when I still had Art School work to do, it was a NICE CHANGE! Seattle has also been good for me, I love the chilly-weather and the mellow-pace. My new apartment bedroom has lots of natural sunlight which I know will aid in my creation of more artworks in the near-future.

NEW Watercolor Painting: "Red-Hott Hoodie Hunk"

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Wed, 11 May 2011 17:59:00 +0000

Hello Collectors & Friends,

I've finally finished another small watercolor painting, this one is somewhat tame, yet no-less appealing or revealing! I love the way guys look in hoodies, I feel it adds a bit more intrigue and sensuality...don't get me wrong...Naked is always best, but it's always fun to take something off, isn't it?! I also decided to add a bit more hair to this fella because I appreciate a little scruff and edge, it's HOTT!!!

So, without further delay, I present to you:

"Red-Hott Hoodie Hunk"

As a BONUS, I have decided to include the "tight" pencil drawing of this piece. I enjoy seeing the early concepts, sketches and drawings of other artists because it reveals the thinking and process of that specific creative-individual, so here's how I like, or tend-to, start things off.

{This entry relates to my 2 previous POSTS.}

Hi again!

I decided to take some outside (non-scanned) photos of my 2 newest small-scale watercolor paintings "Naval" and "Beautiful Shaded-Ass".

They look awesome in the garden, this little patch of clovers and other foliage is growing near my art-shed woodpile, and it held the art perfectly for the photos, so vibrant and full-of-life!

The weather has been light and "just-right" here in San Diego, a bit of rain and lots of sunshine these past 2 days, the perfect conditions for photographing male nude art! heheh. {well, in my opinion, ahem...but really everyday is a great day for nudes, am I right?!}

ENJOY them as I have enjoyed doing this mini-photo project!

A bit closer:

Thanks for visiting...I promise if you follow me, I will strive to have new stuff that will hopefully stimulate and inspire you! {I am JUST getting started!}

~JeSsE

I have another beauty for ya! "Beautiful Shaded-Ass"

noreply@blogger.com (Le Robinet) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:02:00 +0000

Yay!

I have been focusing, and I have another watercolor to accompany "Naval"...that Sailor Boy won't be so lonely now! (...and if someone out there likes both of them, he or she can save on shipping, because I offer "combined-shipping" when I have more than 1 piece offered up for bidding on eBay! I wait until the 2nd listing has ended before shipping both artworks at 1 time. )

~*~

These pieces are small, but packed with POWER, and because of the size they will look great "curated" (aka hung-up and displayed together). {Psst, I plan on getting these all into a book one day, so everyone out there can help make that dream come true by supporting my studio through eBay and other promotions...that's if you like what you are seeing.}

They would even look good in a regular picture frame atop a mantle, dresser or table.

I enjoy creating work in a broad range from tame to raw eroticism, so you can keep some in closed-quarters, and still display some throughout your dwelling!

(I love producing both to balance things out.)

Let Ye Eyes Feast:

"BEAUTIFUL SHADED-ASS"

Dimensions: approximately 7" tall X 5" wide.

This One-Of-A-Kind (OOAK) Drawing Signed and Dated in the Lower Right Corner.

Also Signed, Titled and Dated on the Back

Mediums: Watercolor and Pencil on nicely-textured "Canvas" paper, which is then mounted on to 1/8"-thick re-purposed board (eco-friendly!) which adds stability and durability, and finally I add a few coats of protective-spray to make sure no small amounts of water or moisture can wreak havoc on my art, oh no! I ain't down with that shit!

Shipping is done via USPS, I only charge what it actually costs... I don't "pad" my shipping therefore, there are no "handling" fees.
( I'll even include free shipping Insurance depending on the "final value" of the piece from time-to-time.)

I have the buyer in mind at all times:
I purchase a lot of various items Online, so I strive to provide the best Customer Service I can...
I want each & every transaction to be as smooth and seamless as possible!
(And my eBay Feedback reflects it.)
***

It's all about getting my art out into the world for others to enjoy, that's my passion!

Thanks again!
(Feel free to re-post my images, just be sure to add a caption or link back to me if you can! I truly appreciate it.)

~Jesse

Click the following link to access the eBay listing for this original piece: NAVAL

About "NAVAL":

This piece is simple, bright and modern, with a flirty-feel!

~*~

I started out with a pose I loved...later I had the idea to make it a Sailor, and after that the anchor pattern popped-into my head, so I decided to work on that extra-detail.

***

Dimensions: approximately 7" tall X 5" wide

Media used in this original artwork: Pencil on Textured "Canvas" Paper (very heavyweight & durable),

then a vigorous application of Watercolors,

which is then Protected with a few coats of protective-medium to ensure longevity and protect against moisture damage.

Hello Beauteous Peopleous!

I wanted to touch upon my thoughts about honesty and integrity in this post because every time I browse eBay for art (my competition) I see things that I have seen somewhere else on the Inter-webs, and then I see these decent-looking pieces, but upon further inspection I see that they are from China...(I am not saying that China is bad, I am almost half-Chinese, but an American none-the-less, heck my dad doesn't even speak Chinese!) what I am getting at is that I think being Honest and having Integrity is what should MATTER MOST, sure some of my pieces aren't the greatest when held up to some other art pieces, but that's Fine with me, because I know that I actually spent the time to make something that I KNOW IS ORIGINAL, and that I took the time to achieve the end result, whatever it may be. With each piece I learn a lesson and I gain invaluable practice as well. Why should anyone pay outrageous shipping & handling fees for a dishonest piece of art? I dunno, it just doesn't make sense to me.

That all being stated: PLEASE TRY TO SUPPORT ARTISTS in your HOME COUNTRY or LOCALLY! (Saying this might deter my friends in Europe, but I hope not, because I truly appreciate my Collectors there as well.) I am not saying to never buy Internationally, but I am saying that it's a heck of a lot better to buy from those you know are close at hand, and not from some country that may have "pirated" some other Artist's work or possibly even just ran it off a "highfalutin" printer in who knows where? There are SO MANY "starving artists" or artist's just trying to make a decent living off of their God/Higher-Being-Given talents on our own soil, so we should all help those people out.

Okay, I got out my rant/philosophy and have made peace with it...ON TO MY ART:

I proudly present another Small Watercolor Painting!

{FYI: I will be doing mostly-small pieces for the time-being, because my time will be invested in my last semester of art school...this way I can give my full-attention to these pieces, and still get a Good-Body of work available for you all to view and collect!}

I titled it "Young Odysseus" (After Homer's Odyssey)

(wood plate-holder not included)

Dimensions: 5" tall x 7" wide

Mediums: Pencil & Watercolors on Beautifully Textured Watercolor Paper, Protected with a few coats of protective medium to ensure longevity and prevent water-damage and other elemental damage.

Dated, Titled & Signed on back AS well as in the lower-right corner of the piece.

[ALWAYS PACKED SECURELY with Re-Purposed and Post-Consumer Content Packing Supplies]

I have made the starting bids more "friendly", and even reduced the shipping & handling fees...I also wanted to mention that I do not "pad" my shipping and handling fees, but I do charge what it actually costs to ship and to add insurance and delivery confirmation because I feel that these are necessary and are way better than any artworks being lost or damaged in the mail...ya feel me?

I really appreciate your patronage, as I am raising funds for my final semester of Art School! ^_^
