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.

Happy New Year Paul. Really love the new work. It perfectly describes this past year's struggle, with your trademark touch.
Mega hairy muscle hugs wishing you the best year ever!!
I love it. I'm sure that soldier will be "at attention" in no time!
Nice Abs and details.
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
With the exception of the Whistler one at the end (that photo is very touching),
I'm more a fan of the originals and don't think they need to be reinterpreted.
