while im brainstorming for ideas on where to go with my painting i have been experimenting with oil pastels (top picture) and trying out manga techniques with ink (bottom picture, and yes, they are both boys,)
    Usually my art isnt quite as abstract as the top picture but i was inspired by Picasso who went from classic oil painting techniques that we see in a lot of older paintings, to a more almost childish perspective of art. I wanted to take on this technique and directly show raw emotion that i do not know how to convey otherwise.
     With the gay manga couple, to be honest i just had a lot of fun drawing that, and it was nice to take a break from the stiff rules and restriction that i put on myself and my art. It is a whole new look for me, and to be frank, i love the simplicity.

      As for the fact that they are both guys? hmmmm. excuse me for being crass but no one really gives a fuck, and its just kinda cute <3
