Time Lapse: Surreal Male Figure Oil Painting: Mike Ruiz - Studio Sneak Peek 21- Paul Richmond Studio Watch video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrWlkvuUMgQ Starting on a painting of photographer Mike Ruiz today for a little collaboration we are doing. He took a self-portrait photograph and I am reinterpreting it on canvas. Today I’m working on the base coat, so you’ll have to check back later to see the finished painting! — Step into the weird and wonderful world of artist Paul Richmond, where anything could go down -- even a pin-up boys' pants! We're all a little high on paint fumes around here, so grab a brush and join the painting party! Visit Mike Ruiz’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/mikeruiz1234

I just learned that my painting Say Cheese...Cake, Starring Mike Ruiz was accepted into GLAAD's OUTAuction NYC celebrating GLAAD's Top 100 Artists of 2010. The annual fundraising event is part glamorous cocktail party and part art auction - all to benefit GLAAD's work to amplify the voices of the LGBT community. Th event takes place on Sunday, November 21 from 5:00 - 9:30 pm at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NY. Coincidentally, Mike Ruiz is scheduled to be one of the celebrity guests that night -- hopefully he will choose his pants wisely! ;) For more information or to purchase tickets, visit GLAAD's website .
