While society has always approved of the nude aroused female image in art, film and print it has classified the aroused male image as pornography. When I was studying figure drawing at the university, one of my instructors advised me that I was walking a fine line in my representation of the male figure. As far as society goes, he was right. Then I realized that as far as society goes I am walking a fine line being a gay man. The fine line is where I have learned to live and love, so that is where my art comes from. I am climbing out of the box that straight society and culture has tried to keep gay men and fine art in and I refuse to go back in.
