Playing with the underpainting… aka the part where I pretend I have a plan. This one got a yellow medium, & I’m already thinking it should have been burnt sienna. Anyway I keep painting, layering and making questionable color choices. 😌🎨✨ #ArtSky #FigurativePainting #QueerArt #OilOnCanvas #man #gay

“I quite admit that I adored you madly, extrava-gantly, absurdly.” This is an excerpt from Oscar Wildes Picture of Dorian Gray, it shows words that were removed by his editor for being too #queer #GayBooks

Finally started breaking in my new #ArtJournal The goal is always the same: stop overthinking! This little piece threw me off and kicked my ass. I went to sleep frustrated but woke up the next day and saw something I actually loved #QueerArt #PaintingProcess #ArtistOnBluesky #FigurativeArt #DailyArt

3 afternoons well spent 🎨 I'm using these sessions to study skin color and undertones. Creating this has been a great form of therapy for me. Really happy with how the lighting and color turned out Feel free to share your thoughts 💛 #QueerArt #MaleFigure #PortraitStudy #ArtSky #GaySky #OilOnCanvas

This heart maps chapters of my life. Drawn first as a journal entry, then built in cartonería… layer by layer. It will soon be exhibited in “El Corazón” at The Bath House Cultural Center, Dallas, from 2/7 to 3/7 #ArtSky #cartoneria #queerart #artprocess #mixedmedia #sculpture #artistsonbluesky #art

If creating feels wrong right now, it’s because something is wrong. Silence is how cruelty becomes” normal” You don’t need perfect words, just your voice. Speak up! Share what you see. Name what feels off. History warned us what silence does Let art witness Let it resist. #QueerArt #HumanRights

#Art #JournalEntry of the week 🎨 I’m almost done with my journal for 2025. I began this damn thing in 2019! and it’s seen me through so much. Growth, heartbreak, transformation. I’ve learned more from these pages than I ever expected.. and It’s time to let it go. ❤️‍🔥 #ArtJournal #QueerArt #MixedMedia

#ArtJournal entry of the week. When I face art I don’t understand (left), I re-create it (right) and try to understand why… With the #MarianCzapla work, I learned how color shifts mood. vulnerability, defiance passion. This practice turns confusion into discovery. #QueerArt #GayArt #MarianCzapla

Definitely missed the boat on this one, but eager to see what everyone was talking about. Patroclus and Achilles blaze through history with a love the world tried to bury. It’s raw, defiant, and daring—a story that refuses to be silenced. #BookSky #GayBook #Queer #GayLit #LGBTQ

Fascinating to read from an octogenarian’s view—heartbreaking, dirty, tender, and endearing. White writes without apology, a true libertine at his best, turning memories of love, loss, and desire into an unforgettable, raw, and deeply honest collection. #BookSky #GayBook #Queer #LGBTQBooks #QueerLit

Lyrical, sensual, and haunting. What starts as a story of queer awakening becomes a meditation on love, war, and growing up. Vincent’s tenderness, Arthur’s passion, and Marcel’s quiet wisdom all linger — and that ending? A gut punch. Beautiful and sad. I’ll read it again. #BookSky #GayBook #Queer

Went to NYC for my bday with my best gal pal! I kept thinking “what’s up with all the barricades?!” Well turns out I accidentally booked my trip during NYC Pride. Full-on rainbow chaos, glitter in the air, Gaga in the distance. Best accidental celebration ever. 🌈💥
