Quick afternoon sketches.

Each year I like to create a design for the upcoming year. Last year I did two, one that was more positive outcomes and the other not so much. As for 2026, I feel it will be a struggle. A struggle with ourselves and each other. (1)

The first pose from my amazing hang & draw with the perfection that is @kimdavidsmith.bsky.social back in early December.

A rare pic of me in unshaven-winter-holiday mode with Elbie and a couple city scapes from this past week.

If I was to wish upon these winter stars, I would wish for peace. Peace from profiteer’s wars. Peace in understanding each other’s joys & pains. Peace to be who we truly are. All my most sincerest love to all of you and yours. *A bit of overlay-play with my holiday stars.

Holiday Star 6 | “Christmas Lights”

Holiday Star 5 | “Jingle All the Way!”

Holiday Star 4 | “Jolly”

Holiday Star 3 | “Holiday”

Holiday Star 2 | “Hark!”

Holiday Star 1 | “sees you when you’re sleeping”

Front of the card I made my niece to go alongside her gift.

Another moment of inspired fabulousness from last week’s session with the incomparably talented @michaeljhildebrand.bsky.social. How I adore posing for you, Michael!

Love a nice little cozy snow in Brooklyn.

The second pose with the god-amongst-man @kimdavidsmith.bsky.social. Shockingly calm, gently electric, a gentle jolt... a perfect evening.

I’m in such a fizzy frisson over this fabulous painting by @michaeljhildebrand.bsky.social! Thank you for a truly lovely night pod painting and posing, Michael! It’s a pleasure, an honor, and a delight to sit (and recline) for you! 🖤🖤🖤

The third pose with the fabulous @kimdavidsmith.bsky.social was a casual, natural pose. Loved how beautifully sensual his recline was. Really enjoyed how painterly this sketch was, so I did a few more layers of paint and decided to leave off any pencil detailing.

Baked up some delicious molasses gingerbread cookies. They are a funky bunch, messily iced with royal icing, but spicy, snappy & scrumptious. *last night & tonight

This was the fourth pose with the amazing @kimdavidsmith.bsky.social. The room felt gently electric, I really wanted to have that lovely jolt visible in this drawing.

This was the final pose with the amazing @kimdavidsmith.bsky.social . We always love to do a "penis portrait" during our draw-&-hangs, and I truly dig this one. I had a bit more coffee that day than a person should enjoy, and the sketch came fast & furious.

A Wery Weimar Christmas is ONE WEEK away at Club Cumming in NYC! 🎄Too poor for presents? Too grown up for Santa? Too atheist for Jesus? A Wery Weimar Christmas may be right for you! Special guests & silly songs abound. 🖤 Design by @michaeljhildebrand.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/e/kim-david-...

Shared an absolutely wonderful evening with the perfection that is @kimdavidsmith.bsky.social . These are a few of the pieces I started with him tonight. Can’t wait to finish them up tomorrow.

Can’t express enough how wonderful it was to hang and draw this amazing man twice this year. Truly an honor

Sitting and hanging with @michaeljhildebrand.bsky.social is a favorite for me. 🩷

Holiday window finished. Been adding a couple every day for the past month.

Black cherry pie.

“Split Together” (electric shock version) Played around with my painting from the other day, with some inspiration from the recent Frankenstein in the back of my mind.

Yesterday afternoon's painting using a photo of a strikingly beautiful man as reference and inspiration. (high flow acrylic on paper, 14" x 12")

Lovely light show at dusk. #nyc

Afternoon drawing using a photo of a gorgeous wrestler in the middle of taking off his singlet as reference. I loved his face in this moment and had to sketch it.

“Flying Blind” Had a bit of fun playing with my Turkey gravy wing and that handsome fella’s face from last week. michaeljhildebrand.threadless.com/designs/flyi...

TAX the (muthafuckin) RICH! I started this yesterday… but it made me too mad. 3 of the top 20 richest are from the Walton family. 2 are Koch family members. And Amazon just announced it will be firing upwards of 14,000 employees. music clip: “Room of Fools” by FKA twigs

“Zombie Boy” (censored version) Due to TikTok’s infantalizing censorship, even though my account is set to 18+, I had to create a censored version of this drawing. *The original can still be viewed on here or Instagram
