"Recruit"

A common pratice of recruitment - be it for a fraternity, gang, spots team, armed services, or fight club - is the shaving of the head. I find this ritual, one man submitting to another to have an element of former security stripped away, very erotic. The original is on consignment at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery, but Limited edition Gallery and Studio prints can be purchased here at my online studio. The Day of Issue Sale will end around Midnight ET tomorrow.

Update: The original has been purchased by a private collector through the Lyman-Eyer Gallery.

The MS Challenge Walk 2008, that I am participating in is coming up in less than a month. The 50 mile, 3 day event begins September 5th. Thanks to everyone who has donated already, we've raised $545! If you can help me get closer to the goal of $1500 to help the Multiple Sclerosis Society, and my friend Jenny, just click here to make a donation.

This Weekend, August 16 & 17, is the Massachusetts Tax-Free Holiday 2008. Residents of Massachusetts (Billing Address) will not be charged Massachusetts Sales Tax on any single item costing $2,500 or less.

Supply and Demand
The nature of limited edition prints means that there is a finite quantity, and as their availability dwindles, their value increases. This is good news for both collectors as well as artists. With the release of my book last year, the calendars, my originals consistently going for more, and the curator of the Lyman-Eyer Gallery seeing an increasing demand for my pieces, beginning today, as the run of an individual print gets closer to selling out, the price will increase.

Please note that by subscribing to my newsletter, you get a heads up when prints first become available at the regular base price.

Final Days! 2009 Calendar with FREE Shipping
Pre-order by Friday Midnight ET and I will pay the shipping on my 2009 Calendars (domestic orders within the United States only). As I only have 250 calendars that I will be signing and selling from my website, they are available on a first-come basis only.

Things are progressing nicely with my A Thousand Words Project. I have submitted the first batch of my favorite stories to the editor, and as I hear back from her, I will begin contacting the authors whose stories have been selected. We are looking forward to working with you guys regarding any tweaking or editing that might be needed, so stay tuned. Your career as a published writer might be just around the corner!

I know it has been a while, but yes I am still creating! So much has been going on the past month, my normal routine has been knocked out of whack. But, I will have a new release coming next week. You can always see what I am working on by checking out my blog; in progress pics of my latest work are posted there.

"Red Truck"

Lastly, the Art of the Month for August is my wine-labeled inspired piece, Red Truck. All merchandise featuring this work is on sale at 15% off for the entire month.

...
Okay, I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news? The calendars have arrived! And they look AWESOME! The folks at Bruno Gmünder did a wonderful job.

Now the bad news... The publisher says that for now, I can't ship them out before September 1st. This date could get moved up though, and if it does I'll let you know.

The Léche-Vitrines Art Gallery in Ft. Lauderdale, FL has started carrying limited edition giclee prints of my artwork. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by.

In conjunction with its cultural event "Provocation - Sensualité & Érotisme", and in association with Le Bal Érotique and Erotic Signature, Le Conseil des Arts du Québec (CAQ) will be host for "ARTundressed" during the dates of August 12 - 17th at the 'Musee Juste Pour Rire' - Montreal, Canada.

Erotic Signature greatly appreciate their hospitality and thanks Le Conseil Des Arts Du Quebec for making it possible to exhibit the many talented artists participating in the Tour.

MLR Press has licensed my artwork "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" for a gay-themed military anthology. This is the same company I'm working with on publishing my A Thousand Words Project. We've decided to go with color images of the artwork for that project. While it will make the book more expensive, I think color images are really needed. ····· As many of my originals were sold during my show at the Lyman-Eyer gallery, the owner has suggested that I raise the price of my originals, and I have agreed to do so. This should come as welcomed news to those of you who have purchased my originals, as it increases the value of your investment. Thank you for making my show such a huge success! I have posted some images of my works hanging in the gallery over at my blog.

And as a final note, I will be moving my website to a new hosting company this weekend. During that time, purchasing will be disabled. I hope to have everything up and running by Monday.
