Guess who recently discovered his old college art! Yup, this piece is totally from the 90's! I was 19 and thought I was so good! lol. Please no comments on the wonkiness of the piece- it was about 20 years ago. The assignment was to create a horror illustration using only 2 gouache colors and black and white.  In my teens, before I was out and showing my gay erotica, I was really into depicting violence to add a sense of masculinity and detract from the work's ambient gayness. But the inherent eroticism in my art always showed through, prompting several of my art school teachers to steer me in the direction of porn.
