Being a huge fan of Godzilla, I was so pleased to see that Toho Studios made an anime trilogy of it AND adding some good looking guys! Haruo and Metphies!

the Gift – M/M Fantasy Romance Novel
Doren has a gift—the gift of music—and he’s well on his way to becoming the next big thing. What people don’t know is that this particular gift holds far more power than most could ever imagine. But not everyone is blind to it though, and those that know crave that power to dangerous levels.August understands the differences between right and wrong. Unassuming and quiet, his one goal in life is to make an impact in an industry that’s quickly slipping out of his reach. So when his simple life becomes entwined with Doren’s complicated one, he has to learn a whole new way to survive if he’s going to succeed. Because he is quickly realizing that those with the ability to take will stop at nothing to take it all – even your heart.Can true love be fostered in a situation hell-bent on destruction and domination?‘The Gift’ follows the path of a romance ripe with magic and intrigue. Told from many sides, it is a story that leaves the reader to decide if the gifts that make one special are truly blessings or curses, and if lives are merely a game of fate or a series of manipulations that forge truer destiny.
Some WIPs of an oil painting I am working on – the first one after so many years. It feels simply great to mix colours again and to feel the brushes touch the canvas. 😃
The painting depicts the pool scene in my wonderful buddy’s A.F. Henley’s marvelous novel The Chase and the Catch, showing main character John Liege getting some attention by erotic movie star Parker Chase.
A lot of the background is done and I started colouring John so this is in a very early stage. Boy, was I nervous to mix real colours for skin tones again and painting a body with brushes. Good thing that oil paints are so forgiving!
I thought it would also be fun to share a picture of my palette with the mixed skin tones. It looks a bit messy admittedly. 😄

I got this wonderful and hilarious gift from an amazing friend and will post a page from it every now and then when I have coloured one. 😀
So prepare for, and I quote: ”30 sinfully hot men and horrendously bad pick-up lines“!
For some reason, I do not know why did my guts tell me to make this football hottie blonde. 😉
To be honest? These pick-up lines are so bad that they are awesome and I had such tremendous fun with them already! 😀
