How Can Anyone Not Love The Erotic Art Of Richard White?

I love erotic artists. Always have.

When I was an art student I got into the habit of drawing men from magazines and media, and some of that was inevitably porn. This was back in the 90s, so you can imagine that while there wasn't the abundance of porn there is today it was easier to find nude models in photography than seek out live models to work from.

I do cringe a little when I look back at my art books, my tutor obviously knew what my inspirations were lol

Richard White did the same.

He started out using the models of COLT and TARGET to create his work, finding it easier and more inspiring to work that way. Although he eventually moved on to life models he was so successful at it that he ended up being featured in the magazines he used to use as inspiration.

I love it when things go full-circle like that.

As you can see there's more than a hint of Tom Of Finland in his work, but that's to be expected considering Tom broke the mold when it comes to gay erotic art.

I love Richard White's style. Whether he's heavy on the detail or sparingly using lines to depict his themes and models it all works.
