Intern and I take a look at some of the gayest paintings in art history and provide our own inappropriate-at-times and definitely NSFW “critical analysis.” Featuring paintings by Jean Broc, Alexander Ivanov, John William Waterhouse, Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson, Jean Delville, and Caravaggio. --- Step into the weird and wonderful world of artist Paul Richmond, where anything could go down -- even a pin-up boys' pants!

Here is a timelapse video showing part of the process for creating my latest book cover illustration. I work digitally in Photoshop, but using a pretty traditional approach. I sketch out the composition first, block in color and value, and then work with a variety of brushes and textures to refine the details. In this demo, I am painting the face of one of the characters in a realistic style. The title of the book is “Disarming Donner” by Charlie Cochet, published by Dreamspinner Press.

In this video, we reminisce about some of our favorite stories from those early years.

Here are some recent experiences I've had with bootlegs, scams, and thieves - including a follow up on my issues with copyright infringement on eBay. While all of these things suck, my hope is that emerging artists who watch this won't feel discouraged, but empowered to value yourselves and your work enough to stand up against all the jerks out there.
