I Won't Tell if You Won't | New Painting

By -
My new painting I Won't Tell if You Won't was inspired by the U.S. Military's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy and the recent efforts of civil rights activists (including diva angels Lady Gaga and Kathy Griffin) that led to its repeal.

I Won't Tell if You Won't, painting by Paul Richmond

12" x 15" limited edition prints are available in my online store.

The original painting will be featured in a group exhibition at NY Studio Gallery called Hotter than July: a Sexploration opening January 13, 2011 in New York City. The show is curated by Savannah Spirit, and details about the opening reception on Friday, January 14 can be found on her website.

Here are some detail pics:

LOVE this! So happy to see the end of DADT--and I'm such a fan of Kathy's, her episode about DADT brought tears to my eyes.

It was such a pleasure to see this work in person and an honor to be showing alongside it.
It is relevant, magnificent, and yet, amidst all the seriousness of the situation, it's sexually playful as hell, which is exactly what sex should be.
Bravo, one of those pieces that truly shines in person.
XOXO,
Constance & Eric

Pantsing Pinup Boys - Colorful Pants Down Fun for Everyone - Paul Richmond Studio - Vlog 31

My Cheesecake Boys series is all about looking for creative, humorous ways to get guys out of their pants. It's not much deeper than that! They are reminiscent of the pin-up girls popularized in the 40's and 50's with overtly contrived scenarios putting them in imminent danger of having their underwear (or more) exposed. There's a slightly innocent suggestiveness to the works from this time period which I am really drawn to and have been interpreting from a gay male perspective for several years. Now it’s time for everyone to join in the pinup boy pantsing party. I thought it would be awesome to share a new pinup boy sketch with you every Friday so you can print him out and color him however you’d like – crayons, colored pencils, paint, GLITTER…the possibilities are endless!! Make sure you pick some extra cute colors for his undies!  If your coloring skills are more high-tech, feel free to load him into your coloring app of choice and do it that way! I want t
