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

#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
