Actually, the title, “Blow Job #1”, is something of a misnomer. I have done countless drawings of blow jobs over the decades. However, it is frequently difficult to come up with titles for them if there’s no gag, situation or story playing out. Now I am free to artwork countless depictions of fellatio without having to concoct a title. If one occurs, of course I will feel free to use it; this is all about freedom.
Recently, I’ve been getting into the artist Amadeo Modigliani. This drawing is slightly influenced by the elder maestro’s work, insofar as I’m trying to incorporate flatness and abstraction into my own. The blow-er’s frame-right arm is sort of a Modigliani kind of thing, tentatively speaking; I lack the confidence to go as flat-out abstract as Mr. M. The arcing curves of the blow-ee’s torso is pretty abstract as well, though too spacially dynamic for Modigliani’s oeuvre.
