This is an ink wash drawing of a butt artistically framed by a jockstrap. It was copied from a photograph in my collection culled from mid-80’s gay porn magazines such as Mandate and Honcho.
In this evening’s entry, I got even simpler that this morning’s. There’s only one big circle, this time orange instead of white, with a single, big anus drawn thereon.
As I continued drawing butts everyday for this “Daily Derriere” series of artworks, I continued to simplify, abstract. For this entry, I glued a sheet of blue construction paper onto the page of the 2012 American Express Appointment Book, then I randomly yet artistically positioned a random number of small round labels on the paper. Then I drew anuses on the labels.
This is the drawing from yesterday evening, traced in Photoshop using the brush tool. At some future point, I may color it. Or maybe you will.
Flaming Artist, Austin Texas, Buttocks; these are my keywords. Another is”American Express Appointment Book”, which I used to make this series of drawings in. This is the 2012 edition.
“Frottage”:arriving at an orgasm by pressing up behind someone in a crowd and rubbing up against that person” (New Webster’s Medical Dictionary ©1981). It doesn’t seem to apply specifically to this drawing, but it comes close enough.
I’m always trying to simplify my approach. On today’s drawing (which I executed 3 years ago today), I used charcoal to draw a female butt in the simplest possible terms. I then sprayed it with fixative. Viewing the drawing 3 years on, I noticed the ghost image on the facing page, which I hadn’t counted on (foolish, I know). I realized it would’ve been cool if I’d flopped the drawing; that way the ghost image would have made an entire butt. Thanks to the magic of Photoshop, you now see what could have been and what may yet be in some future sketchbook.
This is the page underneath the torn-paper page I posted on July 25, 2016. It’s what you would have seen part of if I hadn’t placed a sheet of white paper underneath the torn-paper page. Oh Hell, I’ll show you what it would have looked like. Here it is.
