Actually i think them quite orginary. They accentuate vanity, self absorbtion and in the composition display a stereotypical image of the male form.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I'd like to have a stereotypical male form. Perhaps that's why I like some of them

I think that they are out of this world. I even took the liberty of emailing him and asking which he still had for sale.
But I would have to go with Marc on this one, they are very one-sided. Why not celebrate the male form in all its shapes, yes given that not all shapes are as easy on the eye as others but still.
I would also love to have half the body of some of them, but that would make me like everyone else;-)
It may just be me, but I found more beauty in the painting, colours and techniques than I did in the boys. I seem to do it with all art. I see and love what made it more than I love the final product.
And this brings me to my next point, some of the boys painted are just that boys, some don't look much over 15 or 16.
But all in all I love what he has done ;-D

I see them as later teens than that. The ones I like more are where genitals are not in plain sight

Is it possible to be stereotypical in one respect and totaly disdain it in another?

I would imagine so.
One could, as an example, be part of the stereotype gay man who goes in for casual sex by poking anatomical parts through toilet walls for random servicing.
Because of odd quirks of intellect one could also find this reprehensible behaviour in others, and disdain it, despite being a part of the gay toilet sex stereotype.

I'd lick the sweat off any of 'em, self-absorbed or not.

I wish he had illustrated the Mythology textbooks I studied in school. I think the books would still be on my shelves. And as far as having him demonstrate the male form in all its shapes - if I want to see out of shape men I'll go to the beach.

By this, are you saying you keep a hole saw in your trench coat?
