MY LIFE - Story and Art by Australian Aritst John Douglas
Following an embarrassing après-dinner incident at a Gentleman’s Club, where I simultaneously ejaculated semen and fettuccine over my anonymous friend then skulked home covered in stringy alien afterbirth, I decided to become a recluse. I began to haunt chat rooms on the Internet. The best part about chat rooms is that you can be anyone. A Polio stricken Marianne Faithful impersonator rasping from an iron lung. An amputee dwarf into electro-sex, tapping on a tiny keyboard with a hook.

Jim Ferringer - Classic American Artist
I am fascinated and in love with light. It’s what draws me to the art of photography and what I strive to capture in my imagery. To me the art of manipulated photographs is the ability to see and paint with light and combined images. Through the manipulation of images and the overlaying of textures, most of my work ends up looking like paintings. I am captivated by the beauty of men, all men, and have embarked on a journey to explore that in my current imagery.

Paul Richmond - American Erotic Humorist Painter
Paul’s work immediately struck me because they were so filled with a humor I could identify with. He had developed a series he called “Cheesecake” which was a vivid throwback to the nostalgic pin up styles we had become accustomed to seeing. Typically these types of images were shown with women in these sorts of manors; for instance the old horror movie classic where the woman is being terrorized by some menacing creature.

Thomas Acevedo - American Painter
"I love the male form and I love conveying a quiet vulnerability and masculinity. The paintings are usually a compilation of photographs that I shoot and then put together using this hand with that arm or that head. They are figurative paintings but I try to transfer an emotion or a stage of my spiritual growth onto the canvas. Layer by layer, I apply acrylic house paint and glaze, building references to the emotion I am trying to express. In spite of its personal nature, my work relays a struggle with life's trials and burdens that is universally felt and understood."
