Flaming ArtistThis is slated for my upcoming adults only adult coloring book. It’s a homage to Picasso; in fact it’s a fairly direct swipe (although I no longer have the source drawing, so you’ll have to accept my word for it); all I changed was the gender of the artist’s models and the artist, which I based off myself.
This is a copy of a drawing/etching by Pablo Picasso, changing the gender roles. I drew it in the summer of 1992.
This drawing is an almost
direct swipe from Picasso. I found a version of the classic Greek comedy,
“Lysistrata”, generously illustrated by Pablo.
I have
been a fan of the Spaniard’s non-cubist drawings since the late’70’s and early
80’s, when I was a museum guard at the Norton Simon Museum, in Pasadena,
Calfornia, USA. My favorite galleries where those devoted to Modern Art,
specifically the Blue Four room, and the Picasso room. I have always found his
depiction of men really erotic.
