BIG LOVE BOOK FINALLY ARRIVED!!!

Bruno Gmünder from Berlin contacted me requesting some of my artwork to be part of his BEAR ILLUSTRATED book called BIG LOVE. I however had just few drawings featuring the bear-type guys, but I could help by showing him the hairy type of men I am used to work on. So I knew about many bear art publications and I am thanked and honoured to belong to one of them. In some way I may help to describe the vision of the book, I'd like to transcribe some lines from it: "This book shows "bears" from their best sides: having fun, enjoying life, loving to live and to party to the fullest. BIG LOVE is an hommage to the men that have helped making the gay scene colorful again". You can get the book via amazon.com worldwide.

PAN AND THE PEASANT (FINISHED)

Thank you Moonstrum for always such illustrating clarifications. He wrote this:

"Well, what i read is that, pan is a god -from which the word "panic" is derived, albeit i doubt all of the fauns are god pan, and indeed one of the main shapes that inspired the creature the church needs for the personification of its enemy.it's somehow eerie, intriguing, fascinating .. the perfect lover!"

I indeed, wanted of course reflect the concept of "leisure" in both mythic and "religious" ways: the peasant is like making an offering to nature (or western god's nature) contributing to the fertility of the harvest, and that harvest is so abundant and kinda sumptuous that Pan is coming to "give him a break", in fact, like a "temptation" to leave his seeding work and offer his "extra-seed" to Pan. And in the process of creation theory (although I'm not a believer), god had a "break" in his 7th day (number associated with the devil), so "he" in a fact created the "spare time", the leisure, so the devil is god himself in his spare time.
