This is exactly the sort of crap that every Seattle fag with no taste had in in their apartment circa 1990. Glad to see that Ptown lives up to it's vapid reputation.

That picture looks like it's not right side up...either that or the rocks are really uncomfortable. Also, what the heck is going on with his netherparts? Threshing machine accident or something?

His dick looks like a tentacle.
That also looks massively uncomfortable.

Back in the 1960s, when I was in grade school, I used to do paint-by-numbers a lot. The stuff I painted looked a lot like this. "G" rated, of course, but the clouds and rocks are just about dead ringers for my old paint-by-numbers.

As a bonus, his expression looks constipated, it looks like his hand is broken, and somebody mangled his poor wang.

All in all, a spectacularly bad painting.

I call it "A Poor Man's James Dean avec an Elephant Ear from the Provincetown Fair."

(I sometimes call it Blueboy for that is how I felt when he left me, bereft sans my favorite muse, able only to paint the tired older man and the overweight young lady who agree to pose for the local recreation art classes. You cannot understand le dommage.)

He has a Vanilla Ice quality that I find distinctly unsettling. Like he should have 'Word to Your Mutha' bedazzled somewhere unspeakable. (Which, upon further inspection, could be really anywhere.)

Is that Ferris Bueller?

@1 No you're wrong, perhaps equating (confusedly) the hairless twink icon with what passed for Seattle Fag crap in the 1990s. Stop taking your cues for what passes as a hot guy from Dan Savage - David Schmader is better tapped into the gay aesthetic now. And this is definitely Rocky Mountain Fag crap (but not Rocky Mountain Cowboy fag crap)

Is that a piece of cloth over his privates? How could this be called blue anything other than Blue Sky?

pay no more than 50.00 and hang it in the john right behind the pissoir, high up so you don't slouch while peeing

any pic of a naked guy is worth something - helas - this is not art

the rock edge pushing on his ass cheek could do raw damage

fag crap from any era is all in my neighbors and friends homes, not mine, certainly not Dan's

Jen, just say you're sorry! whatever it was, however justified you might have been, however much you were in the right, be the bigger person and just say sorry! Please?

There are innocent by-standers being hurt here. We know Savage has no pity, but surely you do. Make it stop, mommy, make it stop.

The medium-sized sculpture garden sculptures were one thing.

Now we're into beachy, gay nude oil paintings.

You know what's next, don't know you?

Clowns. Clowns and watercolors.

Please, Jen, tell him you're sorry. Just make it stop.

This has wonderful kitsch value, AND it's safe to place anywhere in your home because of the strategically placed cloth. It has a sort of AMG vibe.

Well, dear God Dan. I hope you bought the thing. It's gorgeous.

@17 -- If you don't like it, stop reading. It is as simple as that.

His abdominal muscles seem strange... it's an 11 pack, by my count.

Wait -- it's not available on black velvet?

At least it's not that unspeakable image of the lion fucking a Colt model.

it's a fun pic aside from the tumor of a penis...

I need it. We have a tacky art bathroom that is CALLING for his naked glory. He would lay proudly between a white tiger on velvet and a macaroni clown.

Oh, God, DDW, I believe you're right. And he has a miniature satellite dish for a weener.

It is a painted cliche of faggotry.

It looks like a flesh colored crab is covering him.

# 31 you made me laugh out loud!! thank you.

I think it looks like van Gogh's cut off ear, albeit all cleaned up!
