Poppa or Papi?

Wow...Three posts in three days? Go figure. Anyway this is me experimenting with a slightly cartoonier style. Let me know if you like it, 'kay?

Uptown Brown

Here's a lil sumthin I did recently when I had tons of other shit I ought to have been doing....Enjoy!

Guess Who? BOOOOOO!

This is a sculpture I did of our boy, Boo, a couple of months ago just to see if I could do a large scale sculpture. It's about 3 1/4 ft. tall. It was the center piece of my recent exhibit at Antebellum Gallery here in Los Angeles. I was quite pleased to find out that it had already been sold before the art opening! Anyway, it's made up of carved styrofoam and papermachie and I plan on doing a bunch more and selling them (hopefully!). The gallery owner said someone was interested in purchasing a female Boo! Can you wrap your mind around that? I can, since I have drawn a female Boo before just to see what it'd be like. I'll have to post it some day. Oh, and I know some of you have heard about a certain series of short films dealing with black gay DL experience coming out with a new installment that will be called, "Boo". A couple of people have asked me about it and I've decided to take the high road and support the film since I saw the second installment and thought it was very well done. But honestly, what rock were they under for the last ten years not to know about my BOO???? LOL...anyway, when it comes out I suggest you support it because the boys do good work. And it'll be a damn sight better than that shitty porno that was done in my Boos' name oh so many moons ago. And NO, you're not allowed go buy it, even out of curiosity. I'll hunt you down, I promise! Shit, that just made it even more appealing, didn't it? Arrrgh! Anyway, here is the REAL Boo in all his 3-D glory!

Hey! Another Belasco Interview

Hey there, long time no see! Busy-ness most high these days but I'll be back later with info about the art opening that was on Valentine's Day. This was probably the most extensive showing of my work to date and I sold three pieces (and met a few...heh heh) but I digress...when I get some pictures to show, I'll post a longer account. Anyway, until then, click on the main title of this post to be transported to a rather irreverent (is there any other kind?) interview that I did for the MeatCute blog. Check it out!

Some Figurines...

Here are some pictures of some figurines I sculpted.

Painting for the Art Show

Above is the original image used for the invite to the artshow I'm featured in February. Next to it is the painting to show at the exhibit. It's the first large painting I've done in quite some time. I'm starting to get excited about showing and plan on doing more paintings.

Belasco Art on Display!

If any of you art lovers aren't doing anything on Valentine's Day and are in or near Los Angeles, be sure to check out this art exhibit I'm in...It is guaranteed to be a good time!

BOO N TH' BOYS

Belasco Interview over at Boytoons!

Click on the link below the title to read the interview I did with the great Patrick Fillion, artist extraordinaire of the book "HOT CHOCOLATE" as well creator/publisher of of his own line of gay erotic comic books! They're like Marvel Comics...with fucking!
Anyway, it was a fun interview and part two will be posting shortly so be sure to check it out!

MMM MMM GOOD EATIN'!

Here's the color version of a piece I posted the black and white version of a month or three ago! I finished this one on Christmas break which should tell you how much I loooove the holidays! I especially like how the feet turned out (of course that would be my favorite part!) Sometimes I really enjoy using Photoshop to paint with, other times I just can't seem to get it together! Sheeesh! Oh, check out the new merchandise screen right...

In case you missed it...2007 BELASCO CALENDAR!

Get this custom at Zazzle

I've lost count over the years how many times I've been asked if I have a calendar for sale. Well, thanks to Zazzle, I finally have one! Ideally, calendars should be created and advertised around, oh, July, Aug...'Course, I finished mine the week before Christmas! Well my fans are very patient folks...they'd have to be with my slow ass, so anyway, here it is! Again, for those of you who don't look at the links section of this blog....

Boo and the Boys in color...

A few years ago there was an article about me in that Austrailian queer magazine, BLUE. It was a very nice article and I did a few original pieces for it. For some reason they only used the black and white version of this painting in the finished interview. It's one of the few drawings I've done that feature most of my charaters, some of whom are still in my head..the one above my neck, that is. Har har! Here it is now in all it's glory, so to speak...

When in doubt there's always...BOO!

Hadn't posted in a while 'cause of various and sundry thangs...yada yada...But figured I needed to touch base! But first, here's some Boo....

Ok, where wuz we? Let's see...I added a Belasco calendar to my Zazzle webstore. It can be found screen right with some other links to tee-shirts and prints. The Zazzle store also lets you put my designs on anything else you want that they offer like mugs 'n mousepads. The best part is they're the ones responsible for sendin' you the shit, not me! As a A.D.D. short attention span artist type, this arrangement is the best thing since gover'ment cheese!! So anywway, order the calendar, cause it's kinda nifty and if you hurry you'll get some use out of January before its over. I've already got ideas for 2008! Also, over at WWW.BOYTOONS.BLOGSPOT.COM, there's part one of a two part interview with yours truly (that would be ME...BELASCO? Ring a bell? No? Well, check it out anyways...). For you lovers of male erotic art it's the premiere blog/site for postings of homoerotic art, all organized by Patrick Fillion who's work some of you may have seen in Black Inches. ( I wanted that gig but they wouldn't let me draw penetration! lol) How Patrick manages to create and publish a line of comic books AND manage to post regularly to his blog is beyond me. Anyway, check that out. DId I mention BUY MY STUFF? Go the the links and buy some shit. 'Kay? Don't make me beg, y'all. Back with more updates in the new year...OH, right! Happy New Year! See what I mean about A.D.D.?

A LITTLE COLOR FOR THE HOLIDAYS...

BLASTS FROM THE PAST

I was going through some old files and found these. Two were Belasco's done from life which is rare. Usually, when I draw from life I don't stylize the drawing at all, but since these particular models looked like my drawings anyway, it wasn't a stretch to draw them in my more comic book-y style.

More Life Drawings

These are some sketches from the last life drawing session I attended held by my friend, Miguel Angel Reyes, a terrific painter/muralist here in Los Angeles. This model's name was Jose and he was great to draw. He had a very relaxed yet focused and professional demeanor. It helps that he's an artist/designer as well I think. Anyway, I hope to draw him again in 2007.

In the midst of my pain...

I managed to ink this sketch I posted a few days ago. Not sure if I like how it turned out, but hey I was hopped up on pain pills...Nevertheless, enjoy!
