A time when Halloween meant costume contests and parties at the big gay clubs. "Halloween At The Club" acrylic completed 2008. #rickchrisart#gayhalloween#gaymaleart
A portrait of Pete Buttigieg done as a portfolio exercise in a series of portrait illustrations done to see if my skills are holding up after all these years. #Buttigieg#RickChrisportraits
In honor of Tom Daley's gold medal here's a portrait I did in June as a portfolio piece. Did a number of portrait illustrations recently to test if my skills are holding up now that I'm becoming ancient. #TomDaley#TomDaleygold
Over the years it's been my tradition to send out my handmade gayish ornaments as Xmas gifts including 3D versions of my paintings. This year, advised to avoid public contact I decided it would be best not to make trips to the post office. Maybe next Xmas.
26th and final entry in my gay Advent calendar. Completed Christmas Eve 2002. Titled "Unexpected Guests" shows a group of friends getting together for some food, drink and to look at some old photo albums on a Christmas Eve yet they might have other guests.
25th entry in my gay Advent calendar. "The Intruder", completed 2001. During the holidays, the residents of a house and one of their guests confront a burglar trying to break in late at night. Intruder repelled, cops called, bad guy arrested. #rickchrisart#gaymaleart
The 24th entry in my gay Advent calendar, titled "Christmas Cabin" completed Dec. 7, 2008. Yeah, it's sentimental, hokey and vanilla but with all the things going on right now, we need a little Christmas. #rickchrisart#gaychristmas#gaymaleart#schwuleweihnachten
Sorry - my last post was in error. My last gay Advent post will be on Christmas Eve, December 24th. So, there are three more posts to go. If you've handled all this gay Christmas imagery so far, you probably can take three more images.
