Flaming ArtistHere are two versions of the same subject, drawn 6 years apart, the Prismacolor pencil version in 1980, and the brush-and-ink version in 1986. In the first version I hadn’t yet graduated from art college; in the second, I’d been a working professional animation storyboard artist for three years. I spent quite a bit more time on the color drawing, but had much more drawing chops for the second. They both have their relative plusses and minuses.
This is a series of drawings illustrating a sexual fantasy from my late 80’s erotic sketchbook. This series, which I today call “Down Low With Luigi” is very similar in theme and plot to the “Down Low With Lou” series, except my “clone of desire” is a vaguely mafiosi type of dude rather than Lou Grant.
As an aspiring mainstream comic book artist in the 80’s, I got continual feedback that my inks weren’t of professional quality. The really sad thing is that I believed them. Jeez, I wish I could do work like this TODAY. Or, I should say, I hope I still CAN do work like this today. We’ll find out when I start trying.

One of my youthful fantasies was to have sex with authority figures, as in bosses, landlords, policemen, politicians, etc. Thank God for unanswered prayers as the song goes; the occasions when I’ve gotten to act on these fantasies rarely turn out well, even if the sex itself is good (which it isn’t necessarily).
My apologies for the brief hiatus, but I had ankle surgery on March 3 and am only now recovered enough to sit at my computer with my right foot elevated.

The co-star is, once again, a slightly idealized self-portrait. The “Luigi” character smokes, which I used to find somewhat erotic. When my tricks did it, not me. I don’t smoke.
