Giclee prints of "Sideshow Attraction, Starring James St. James" are available HERE .

Feel a draft, anyone? Prints are available HERE . And visit Jack's BLOG for his recap of the Cheesecake modeling experience. And how do you embarrass a burlesque dancer?

I'm working on my Cheesecake painting of artist Michael Breyette and wanted to share a progress pic. I'm having so much fun re-creating some of his amazing artwork for the background, including the sexy, gas-pumping fellow below. Michael's a big inspiration, so I hope I did his work justice! The only change I made was to adjust the figure's eyes so that he could better enjoy the view.  Here's the sketch so you can see what's left: After Michael, I have some other exciting pin-up prospects on the horizon. Jack Mackenroth and Bobbie Burlesque both recently sent me reference pics for their paintings, and I must thank them for making my job very easy! These photos are amazing!!
