Happy

Yay. It's finally finished. After almost two months of seemingly endless work, I'm done with my calendar. :)

A calendar of digital art featuring the male form in various themes: some humorous, some cool, some classy, all sexy. A Man for Every Season.

The original concept had been 'cheeky' twists to holiday icons, but there's only so many holidays and icons to work with, certainly not a full year's worth. Thus the calendar evolved and for many of the paintings I explored the 'essence' of the month, often still with a bit of 'cheek', or with a touch of class, but hopefully always with a whole lotta sexy. [Nudge nudge, wink wink ]

The guys I tried to give a bit of variety, at least within my general style: cute, handsome, pretty, androgynous. Different variations on sexy: from overt with lots of skin to nearly covered from head to toe.

It's available through several places:

Lulu: here
DeviantArt: here

I'll be adding CafePress as well. Plus, not only will the paintings be available in the calendar, but also on other items like mugs, as prints, puzzles, and more.

It was a lot of work putting this together, but it's left me with a strong sense of satisfaction. I had 9 paintings to complete from start to finish and accomplished it in less than two months. With my tendancy to dwell in the details, it wasn't easy, but I did it. :) It may have taken weeks of late nights and being the hermitiest hermit that ever hermitted, but I'm rather happy with the results.
