If you are in NYC, please stop by and say hello. I’d love to meet you in person! The address is Prince St Project Space, 127 Prince Street (basement, corner of Wooster St) in Soho, NYC.

This is a video by Barbara Marcolini about me and my naked drawing group. She is a student in the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism here in NYC; the video is part of her coursework, and Bob Sacha is her professor. Here’s the video: THE VIDEO IS TEMPORARILY NOT VIEWABLE BECAUSE IT IS BEING EDITED…
Barbara was working with another student, Joshua Futtersak. The super-duo of Josh and Barbara came to my home studio to shoot a B-roll, followed by filming at a live drawing session, the results of which you can see in her video. They were very professional, in-your-face but in the most unobtrusive way. What a fantastic experience!

I think male ballet dancers are sexy as f*ck. When in motion, they turn their awesome bodies into pure power and grace, leaping, flying through the air in a manner one wouldn’t think humanly possible. In quieter moments, they express poetic emotions.
I have been doing paintings of male dancers for a while, experimenting with different techniques, styles and mediums. I really like my current direction. Using fat brushes and fluid paint, I try to capture the movement and energy that I see on stage. In a live performance the dancers are nearly a blur, constantly in motion; going too fast to see any detail. I attempt to capture that feeling. More development to come…
These paintings will be on exhibit in the “Cream Pies and Other Delights” erotic art fair by the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, June 12-14, 2015. 127 Prince St, New York, NY (corner Wooster St, basement gallery, use stairs from sidewalk). #powerandgrace #creampiesandart

I recently found 2 men’s drawing groups new to me. The one in Vancouver, P-Can Nude Drawing is a naturist group where both the models and the artists are naked! Just like my Men’s Naked Drawing Group NY!
Brighton Draws Men sounds like a fun, friendly bunch of artists! Here’s their BNDrawsMen twitter.
Here’s my full list of Men’s Drawing Group:

So I started a sketch group for naturist male artists in NYC called Men’s Naked Drawing Group NY. We had our first session earlier this week. It was/is a lot of fun organizing it. Here are my paintings from the January 13, 2015 session.

You can also see my comments on the session and drawings from the other artists on the MNDGNY blog.
Added 2 men’s drawing groups to my list:
Men’s Art Event, Ft. Lauderdale and the Vauxhall Gay Life Drawing Group, London, UK.
I’m also happy to report that my Men’s Naked Drawing Group NY has gotten a lot of interest! We have 32 naked artist members; the January 13 session has a waiting list and the February 10 session is already starting to fill up. Who knew?
