Let's share some gay art. Could be by a gay artist or gay art itself. I will now look through my archives for something good.

be gentle on me I have only just started and on my 4th piece at the second!!!

This was my first piece of errrr art in 20 years!!!


And this is an attempt/variation of an established artist


Im doing a painting for a friend who is into Burlesque at the second and I am pretty chuffed to say the least with this one and am gutted to be giving it away!!! As its so damny sexy and moody!

whoops sorry for the size they didnt look like they were that big!

Really nice! Thanks

A painting a did a couple years ago. It wasn't meant to be "gay art" but I guess it kinda is. Very amateur painter here, but i do enjoy it nonetheless. This one has a lot of meaning/emotion for me because of where I was in my life when I did it.

Gosh rythmn thats awesome the use of colours is fantastic Im gonna delete my crap kiddy drawings now ha ha ha ha

bfg1 saidGosh rythmn thats awesome the use of colours is fantastic Im gonna delete my crap kiddy drawings now ha ha ha ha

I think yours and DreamBig's art are great so leave them there buddy!!

I personally dont paint and this art expo (Gilbert and George) is the first one I see from a gay couple! well I really think they are gay, even my younger brother kept asking me are they gay? or are they a couple? I really liked their work and its currently showing at the Deyoung museum in SF golden gate park.

Check it out!

P.S. Im not into scat.....nasty!

Gonna have to talk technique with you offboard on this one as I have just done a blue painting and Im haviong a hard time with fleshtones for the face more than the body!!!! At the moment he looks like a geisha!!!!!

I hate to say this Kozmeka but The Tate modern is 5 minutes from where I work and I often go there at lunch time, a friend of mine took me to see this Gilbert and george exhibition and the new one. I have to say their art, whilst it is Unique really disturbs me but not in an emotionaly pleasing way.

I got to see the Renoir exhibition at the National and taht was a site to be seen!

Shall have to look up some of my gay art links as I lost most when my pc crashed, and finding tasteful art of male Torsos without a huge throbbing penis leaping out the canvas is somewhat a hard task!

Thanks bfg1. Don't delete yours, they're great. That's the great thing about art, everyone's perspective and technique is different.

Here are a couple others i did. I guess you could call this my "blue period." ha!

The top one looks like oil? Is the second acrylic?

Thats what Im using at the second, I love oil but the smell makes me heave!

the last two are both done with water-based oils. They are cool cause you get the feel of oil without the smell, messy clean-up, and long drying times (usually takes a couple days to dry, instead of like 2 weeks).

bfg1 - Fair opinion and will have to check that one out.

Time to go home.

You guys have a wonderful weekend!

I have some of my art up on my profile....nice work bfg1 and rhythm1438!

I thought I would put up some stuff not on my profile. I did my senior thesis using the same concept of the bananas...I actually used apples for the final thesis. Anyways, I was an Art Therpap major and the point of the painting was to give fruit emotions by making up a story with them. So the first story goes from the top painting to the middle. The second is the bottom to the middle. So the middle piece is the ending to 2 different stories. It was a fun project.

stevarino7 saidI have some of my art up on my profile....nice work bfg1 and rhythm1438!

preety unique portraits look almost cubist in nature.

as for rob's wow am speachless at that its truly unique and my head i sinterpretting it in line with the poem That truly is aweoms and is the type of art I really enjoy best

Most everything I do that would be considered gay contains too much nudity to post here.

Oooh almost forgot my favourite gay artist there for a second I dont like all his work as some is a bit too tarty for my taste but:

hell....some of the profile pics on here are gay art ...

Err picture quality is kinda bleh.

But seriously there's some really good stuff here in this forum, I'd like to see more your guys stuff

damn that bottom painting scares the bejesus out of me! thats one scary arsed piece of art (meant in a good way) Isnt it great when paintings can evoke such emotions (makes me think of movies like Silent Hill etc)

It is actually from Silent Hill 2. I had a lot fun with it.

It's funny it kind of grew more meaning as time went on. The painting coincided with my coming out. So I kind of see it as coming out.

see as scary as it is theres always light at the end of the tunnel :-)

all them are great. thans for sharing

One of my works

Can I post this with a warning that it has nudity?

http://forum.floppop.com/gallery_uploads/1199209636/gallery_7_22_19441.jpg

Tim - that is awesome! Is it one of yours? Can we see more of yours?
Thanks.
Gregg

Jockbod48 saidTim - that is awesome! Is it one of yours? Can we see more of yours?

That is mine, but not me of course.

This one is very suggestive, features male nudity.

http://forum.floppop.com/gallery_uploads/1199209636/gallery_7_22_402568.jpg

Those are truly great pieces of computer generated art.

But why do they seem to be so plastic and stiff? Is it the selection of skins the program has?

Does guilt know about this yet?

I can't quite figure how to post an image here. Anybody care to help?

Sahidy saidI can't quite figure how to post an image here. Anybody care to help?

You have to upload the image file to a webserver, like photobucket.com and then, on the forums, you display the image with standard HTML:

<img src="http://www.webserver.com/username/image.jpg">

Simply replace http://www.webserver.com/username/image.jpg with the URL of the image file you want to display.

My favorite current artist - Steve Walker

http://www.questart.com/menu.html

Damn you guys are talented !!! Great work !!! Do any of you sell your work in the cities where you live?

Bleh. No scanner for my trad art.

Click the thumbnails to view original resolution

Anyway, two of my 2d digital art (note I am still not very good at it, and I did both of these with a mouse, I don't have a tablet):

Despair - A speedpainting I did. Supposed to portray the emotion. Meh, I dunno If I got it. LOL. Strangely, I also wrote a short story about a bad coming out at about the same time I did this:



Suppression - an entry I did for a concept art contest. I lost But I learned a lot about Digital 2d making this. Portrays a post-apocalytpic civilization with a tribal culture. It's a public execution:



And here are just SOME of my 3d work:

(Note the renders aren't mine, they were done by our art director, but the focus of the following renders are my works)

The fighter-bomber in the foreground is my work (concept, mesh, texture):



Again, the ship is a carrier, the mesh and texture is mine, but the original concept is by another artist friend of mine.



The massive station is my work - texture, mesh, concept. Inspired by Islamic architecture. The ships in the foreground are from teammates.

those are pretty damn cool. I mainly write poetry. I haven't done a sketch or a watercolor since my junior year. Most of my good poems are very depressing though. Which is surprising because i am a generally happy individual.

A painting I painted eleven years ago as part of a school assignment to paint with influence of a Frida Kahlo painting.

My favourite gay artist just got to be Walter Spies. The German painter who before WW11 went to live in the island of Bali. Among the colour and intoxicated beauty of the Island of Gods. His life is so romantic and sound like a dream adventure to me. Living among tropical paradise , surrounded by bronze Bali Boys, gamelan music, ancient Hindu culture and dead gorgoues scenery.
To bad it all ended when he got arrested during the war for being a homosexual. And the ship taken him a prisoner to Ceylon(Sri Lanka now) was torpedo by the Japanese and sank.

Rhythm1438, your work is great, really love the blue tone...

This is an image from the comic book I am currently working on:

Here's a couple I did. One of my favorites is a large charcoal that's on my wall, hard to get a good photo of it. The papercuts too.

Can anyone please show me how to post a picture?
thanks

awesome! Im going to try and find some of my work!

I like Steve Walker, the gay canadian artist. I have several of his prints framed and in my house.

I have "On a Clear Day" that was given to me by a friend from Toronto then a couple with animals.
He did a really nice beagle print.


www.stevewalker.com I think that might be his site.

is there a reason alot of the gay artists mentioned here choose extremely sexual subject matter?

and let's not forget keith haring.

Delmas Howe

great work your guys! very fun.

here's one of mine.



you can see more of my work at www.jonathanprussell.com

I have a wesite with some of my work. Check it out.

www.grantart.com

Rhythm, I love the third painting.

I really love robaroma's. Of all the painting styles I like, it's realistic surrealism that gets to me every time. Magritte especially.

My painting Despair is subliminally influenced by Salvador Dali. heh. I didn't even notice it until someone pointed it out.

Anyway, I found an old picture of a sketch of mine... on a class notebook LOL. I might refine this someday. It's a tribal warrior. I sketched it during a boring two hour lecture in school last year (November 2007 I think, click thumbnail to enlarge):



I'm good at lineart and pencil sketches in traditional media, but I have yet to make a watercolor/oil/acrylic painting. So I take my hat off to the guys here working in traditional media. Personally I prefer digital 2d. It's just as difficult, but you get to have the option of undoing mistakes, which is what I love most about digital.

So much of the gay art (meaning using gays as the subject of the art), not necessarily in this thread, seems to be overtly sexual or sad. There must be other emotions that we feel that artists can represent.

Steve Walker is one of my favorites who uses gay people as subjects in his art.


I have not seen this one before...

jprswim saidgreat work your guys! very fun.

here's one of mine.



you can see more of my work at www.jonathanprussell.com

jpr - great work! Do you show at any galleries?

Hope this works!

You studs are talented!

I'm a graphic artist as well as freelance photographer in Los Angeles - specializing in male erotica.

Hello; Not sure where you are trying to take Gay Art? Being a professional volunteer in the visual arts,if I can be of any assistance let me know. Best,Jay

ENJOY!

This is one of mine .. on photoshop CS2

a male mermaid

Here's a couple of my oil paintings.

wow these are really amazing Bgcat .. I had oil colours and tools before but they are so hard to use.. and with a bit of frustration and lack of time, I gave up..

WOW! Great topic! I'm really liking what I'm seeing. You all are some hella creative guys!

You guys are really talented! I can barely draw a bath, but always wanted to be able to draw and paint.

BFG, your work is wonderful. Hope you continue to paint.

All you artists do solid and interesting work.

These are a couple of mine

You guys are absolutely amazing.

I have some on my profile as well.

I don't have my .com up and running yet(there's no good excuse!), but these all all link to my Flickr account, which contains a lot of snap-shotty type of photos along with some of the more serious work.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cactus22minus1

These are part of a series I'm still working on at the moment, and much larger versions are available on Flickr if you're interested.

those are awesome

bg great work I love plants and nature


yoga thats bizarrely brilliant I love subject matter that makes your head go all fuzzy when you try to interpret it

And I love JPR's one Im trying to read it all at the second! Those sort of paintings blow my mind its like Monet and Cezane etc how did they have such vision that a few small dots can culminate to form a much bigger greater image

He's probably already been said but I like Patrick Fillion, his work is great. I love the fantasy element of Heroes being gay.





His website. www.patrickfillion.com

bfg1 saidwhoops sorry for the size they didnt look like they were that big!

We like 'em big!

bfg1, are those oil?

Diver Science, I did a very similar 'shoe' drawing in pen and ink many years ago. (I like your's better).

damned_hunter, what do you work in? (3D app and/or paint app)

jprswim, what a beautiful piece.

GHoSTa, cacti, and LASurfer: wow!

There's a lot of beautiful work here.

I've always wanted to do a male nude shot, but can't afford a good model and I'm way to shy to ask someone at the gym. It could still happen someday though.

Why not do a self portrait?

I did these, same subject with three different lighting options.

Some of my digital paintings. I love painting with the computer and don't have to clean the usual mess of traditional media.(yes, I am a lazy ass).

Oh, Timberoo, I'm not a Poser poseur.

(And thus closes today's 3D geek puns)

Here is a drawing I did years ago using pastels.

Always had fun playing around on the regular ol' "paint" program. Was doodling one day and a friend caught me! Encouraged me to keep doing more. Love this thread, all of you guys are amazing.

This one was for my best friend. No special occasion, but he was the complete inspiration:


This one for another friend, and huge Jags fan. I'm a Cowboys fan, but we don't have conference conflicts so I cheer em on. Love Del Rio!


This one was inspired by the color of my eggs when I was cooking em with spinach and onions.


-Kevin

BGcat, when i graduated from school and had no more art classes, i too didn't want to ask people to pose for me. i missed my figure drawing class, my favorite. so i video taped myself jumping around my room naked then uploaded it and drew from some of the still action frames. if you really want it to happen, make it work. there must be some life drawing classes in your area.

from the 2004 series "jacking andy."

Hey Guys... here's a couple of my sketches, I've been drawing since I was 5 and I'm pretty sure it's saved my life more than once. Hope you like them.












There's more so if you like them drop me a line. Great art everyone.

Some of my personal favorites are, as mentioned by others, Steve Walker and Michael Breyette. Also the Deux du Stade original book.

Email me directly at sahem62896@yahoo.com and I can share a story that I wrote...

Great work men!

Here are a couple of mine:





I have LOTS more at my web site:
http://timothyjwright.com/home.html

and a blog where I try to add new work every day!
http://timothyssketchpad.blogspot.com/

Glad to see so many artsy jocks!

Here are some random things of mine. Mostly collage-type of stuff.

Okay, so I don't know why but looks like the images didn't take the first time so I'm reposting my reply... here it goes, BTW you guys have talent... amazing stuff.

I started working out so I could pose for myself... you could always do that. But then again you could ask some of your friends. I've met a couple of guys at the gym who eventually posed for me. The winged man in my sketches (see my last post on this thread) is actually a friend of mine from the gym.

Ahm... it helps if he has a crush on you hahaha... but no, nothing happened.

I used to paint a lot...here's the only one I have left (I've given all the rest to friends):



Nowadays, I just like to have fun with photography & Photoshop. I also play around with some basic computer graphics as well...all just for fun.

Here is one of mine, its called "Etoile dans la Main et Lotus sous le Pied" acrylics on canvas, 180cm x 200cm

ART, GUILTY STYLE!

Cacti has some great photos on his Flickr stream.

Here are some of my photos

Macros make me happy




Abstraction isn't just for painters


Ya, I am pimping my flickr account.

bgcat57 saidbfg1, are those oil?

nah acrylics but I do use alot of heacy structure gel.

Again just a very very amature starting out but doing this one for a friend. Havent finished yet as am now adding some finer detail to the border to tie the picture in more. Very camp I know but thats the idea of it

Powertrip, your pictures aren't showing up. You need to upload them to an image hosting website, like photobucket.

A friend and I tried to start a gay/lesbian greeting card business, but it was just too costly. Aside from some inventory, I have all the images (I was the main photographer).

[url][/url]

This is my favorite picture of them all.

Thanks, boiwunderkind. This discussion is inspiring me to fire up the greeting card website one more time.

would be nice to see some tasteful ones done caramelized rather than all the sleezy garbage out there at the second

bfg, that actually was our plan. we were offering an alternative to the usual explicit cards.

Hey guys, really impressive work on here!

Link is http://www.virb.com/jameswalton/photos to see my photoworks.

Cheers!

hardtopp, love silent rose!

I thought I'd share some of my art, although I'm not a painter, my partner and I make our living as "designer machinists" and create our own line of steel jewelry by hand-fabrication on manual lathes and mills. These are some of my favorite things we've done recently! The last pic is of me making stuff on the lathe and a shot of our store. You can see more stuff at
http://www.spexton.com

wow do you ship abroad? Fibo used to be awesome but they have gone a bit stale now. I wish I could get the steel barbed wire necklace they did that was so damn sexy!!!

spexton you have some really nice stuff. but i'm glad to see you don't pop yo colla while on the job.

Yep, we ship globally, and if you're interested in trying some of our stuff I'd recommend our pendant of the month--each month we do one of our necklaces for just $40, and this month's is a cool rectangle pendant with copper stripes in it. Here it is:



http://www.spexton.com/ViewProduct.asp?ModelNumber=NE1030

Here's a little shameless plug about Spexton:

When you see steel jewelry on the market it is virtually always mass-produced on computerized machines. Spexton, however, is made entirely without such help, and each item we craft is a handmade original. When you buy our stuff you're supporting a gay couple who live and work above our studio living our dream of self employment!

jms84 saidspexton you have some really nice stuff. but i'm glad to see you don't pop yo colla while on the job.

Lol yea i try to avoid the "douchebag" look.

very nice... would look great in a bedroom...;-)

good arts in here!
=P
Also check some gay art at my profile:
It has the mainly ingredients for gay art
narcisism
and faggieness

lol

paradox saidPowertrip, your pictures aren't showing up. You need to upload them to an image hosting website, like photobucket.

I posted the images from one of my blogs, sometimes they show on RJ and sometimes they don't. I made some changes in the original post in the blog and now the pics appear here... maybe it was some glitch or something. Thanks for the tip paradox, if the problem persists I'll use a photobucket account or something.

So, how do you guys like my drawings? Anyone wanna pose?

WOW!

Here are some renders I did this weekend.

Timberoo, what program do you use to achieve those nudes? In fact, what software programs are any of you using? I'd like to start illustrating and drawing nudes via my computer besides the traditional pencil/charcoal way I've been doing it, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vince

I switched from Poser to DazStudio. It's a free download from daz3d.com. They also have a free content package you can download to play around with.

sandiegovince, buy a tablet.

It's hardly any different than drawing. In fact you can even do it with a mouse.

Spexton those are awesome!

Oh yeah:



A tidbit. LOL, not really 'art'... considering that the subject matter is moi. ROFL

Photoshop and Corel Painter... and buy a Wacom Tablet... the intuos 3 is pretty good, I recomend it.

Hey, btw, I'm trying to post some of my drawings but they just don't work so here's the URL to my deviantart profile. Sorry, you have to sign in to see the nudes.
