This week’s #FridayFreebies Cheesecake Boy was inspired by two things: #1.) my love of pinup artist Art Frahm and his subjects’ eternal struggles with strong winds and weak elastic, and #2.) the fun time my husband and I had when we stumbled across the Kilted Bros store during a trip to Cleveland and both ended up buying our first kilts. Their slogan is “drop your pants here,” which spoke to my heart! Download the hi-res pic and start coloring at paulrichmondstudio.com/fridayfreebies .

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...

Sometimes when a city boy goes to the country, hilarity ensues. This illustration, the cover art for John Inman's novel Shy , gives the expression "down on the farm" a whole new meaning. Since this piece had all the elements of my Cheesecake Boys series - namely, a handsome pinup boy with his pants falling down - I thought it would make a great limited-edition print to add to my collection. So don't be shy...visit my online store  here to purchase this down-home delight today! Want to see how a novel cover is born? Here's a sneak peek at the process.
