Gay beefcake drawing of gladiator
TBRU 2026 is going Roman…
so I brought the muscle. The steel. And a little bulleth0le mythology.
New gladiator drops at the Vendor Market — tees, prints, greeting cards, stickers.
Come claim your warrior.

The chemistry only got hotter from here.
This is another taste of what we created together.
More to come.

Nude man stands in a city scene proudly, holding flowers. The city behind him is monotone, with it's people blending in.
'Urban Flower' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on Fabriano
A modern Narcissus, almost collaged into a city scene. The inhabitants of the city all blend in, not able to make sense of the urban flower.

Blue man stood in the street, covering himself with flowers.

A man stood in an alley in the city, nude, holding flowers. A wall separates him and a lady, who is looking the other way. Figures fill the background, none seem to notice him.
'Alone in the City' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on paper (25 x 23")
Aaaaand, it's complete! I love this piece so much, it marks a shift in the way I can approach queer themes in my conceptual work.

Man in the nude, crouching in a corner.
'Cornered' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on A3
This piece is about the queer experience of always being boxed by society. This man is cornered, losing his light.

Man sat down, holding a vase of tall flowers. He has a forlorn expression.
'Unrequited (Right)' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on wood
The companion piece to (Left), the narrative changes depending on which order you place them in. A man rejected, or star crossed lovers?

'THIS IS REAL ART' Exhibition, 15-21st September @ Weavers Gallery in Ledbury
I've been testing some of my pieces at the gallery I work at to see how they synergise in prep for next month. I'm so excited!

Man sat on a cloth, wearing a flower wreath on his head, and angrily gripping flowers in his hand.
'Unrequited (Left)' 2025
Watercolour & Pencil on Wood
A call back to early homo-photography, specifically Guglielmo Plüschow and the way he broke up masculinity with nature.

Fashion illustration, man stood holding a branch wearing Rufskin swimwear.
I wanted to do some fashion illustration, so I dug up a back issue of @dnamagazine.com and drew up something from Rufskin's swim line...

Artwork of a fantastical man, stood holding a golden cloth.
'Faun' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on A3
A nude that is a little more fantastical, inspired by myth. Tucked this piece away and forgot about it, but I really do love the contrast here!

'Budding' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on A5 Fabriano
The second flower self portrait. I love the idea of making a self reflection mean something more through surrealism.

Man sat, looking to the left. Painted in sepia on a wooden board.
'Respite' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on wood
A soft, serene portrait of a man. My first time using more muted tones, though I feel it adds both to the atmosphere and the wooden surface.

Portrait of a man with flowers growing out of his eyes.
'Blooming' 2025
Watercolour & pencil on A5
Mini self portrait with flowers in my eyes. (Was definitely inspired by Drakengard 3, if you know, you know.)

I use my art as a tool to spark discourse, I need my images have something to say instead of being just visually appealing.
That's the true beauty of art in my opinion, it's ability to evoke feelings in whomever is viewing it.

Close up of an illustration with a man lounging on a chair in front of a window.
Close-up of 'Flourished Abandon'.
I chose this colour palette because the reference (by @landobandoportrait.bsky.social) that I printed out came out mangled and multicoloured, but I rolled with it. I love the result!

Life drawing of a naked man, sat contemplating on a stool covered in fabric.
'Contemplation' 2025/
Watercolour & Pencil on A3
This piece is near to my heart. It is the first time I had the courage to render a man in a more sensitive manner, going against masculine norms and tapping into my queerness.
#LifeDrawing #QueerGaze #MaleNude #QueerArt #Drawing #LGBT #LGBTQIA
Life drawing of a man covered in a towel. It is monochromatic, with everything having a pint hue.
Piece 1/2 'Pink is for...'
Watercolour and pencil on hot press paper.

'Longing' //
Watercolour and Pencil on paper/
16.5 x 11.7"
1/3 of a tryptic, detailing a queer view of a man. Can masculinity also be soft, contemplative? This felt like an important question to ask within my work.
