Your work in five words or less?
Celebrating beauty in male form.
What’s your personal kink?
I’m surprisingly vanilla. My kink is exploring others’ interests and facilitating their desires- oh, and my internet search history definitely has “daddy” in it a few times.
Turn-ons?
Personality, sense of humor, body hair, body confidence, and affection. I’m all about being relaxed with a partner and exploring together.
Turn-offs?
Bad breath, arrogance, and self-indulgence. There are meant to be two people in that bedroom, and if one person is only interested in themselves, then they might as well be playing solo.
Favorite subject?
I love to draw the male form in all its glory. All body types are beautiful and sexual. I enjoy exploring things that turn other people on, be that a fantasy about a celebrity, an age difference, or a power dynamic. I believe all kinks are valid as long as everyone is safe and consenting.
Ideal place to display your work?
I really like my work being shown online. It’s where the most people can access it, and I personally love the thought of my work being saved in a private, hidden folder on someone’s phone. The naughty, secret fantasy in someone’s pocket.
Favorite non-art pastime?
I’m an unashamed nerd. My hobbies are playing online computer games or Dungeons and Dragons, and reading fantasy novels.
Most memorable project?
My first break was in a gorgeous collective project called Bogossbook.
Art crush?
The now MIA artist known as David Kawena. He was the first artist that combined an art style that I could relate to, with the absolute revelry of sexiness that is the male body. I constantly aspire to reach his level of expertise.
Personal crayon color?
I am definitely Agreeable Green. Despite what I draw, I am quite a shy, reserved, introverted person. But I love that about myself.
What is unique about your process?
I like to pride myself on how quickly and neatly I can work. I like my pieces to look crisp and clean, as if they were a still from an animation that could be ready to start moving at any moment.
Why make art?
To make the world a more beautiful place. To celebrate our community. To express without shame, how powerful the male form can be- in all its shapes and sizes.
What’s next?
I’m currently working on a calendar project to promote an upcoming novel by an erotic author who is exploring the naughty adventures of an entirely fictional Olympic diving team!
