Shore Leave...


I was watching these short films by Constantine Giannaris and one of them featured these two drunk sailors and the image kind of stuck with me. "Sailor On Shore Leave" is a very sexy archetype.

Saint Elliot...


Portrait of my friend Elliot as a saint. This pretend Elliot has resigned himself to his role as sexual plaything. Saints have to suffer in life. He brings joy to others by sharing a piece of himself and his beauty, but this leaves him with less and less for himself. He's carelessly manhandled and then abandoned.

The drawing is after his ascension, and the nipples are purposefully left off in order to desexualize him.
