Art sells on Ebay. Even nude.

I think if it shows peepees and woowoos (eBay's technical terms for male and female genitalia respectively) it might have to go behind the "adult" curtain.

Breasts are ok, but not woowoos.

Good Luck,

Too bad,
I really think it is a shame that this artists work is considered "Gay!"
I reviewed his site, and personally, I think he is One Hell Of An Artist!
There is nothing about the human form that should be considered ugly.
His works (that I viewed) are not sensationalized subjects, just people doing every day things.
His interpretation of the male body, both clothed and nude is beautiful!

I really love some of the Stations of the Cross. He's damn good.

Delmas is an intersting man. He even has a documentery on living in a small town with the atitude of the folks and it twords his art, and alternative lifestyle.

I can say one thing My reserch into the oil has gave me a very diferent view of the art ( Male flesh) and torture of male flesh that has been done under the guisse of religion art.

It has got the point across of the fear and hatred of the aspects of the alternate life style, and alternate religions throughout time. The Station series was done in a relation to the gay comunity and the old masters of religion. Based on his loss of a freind who died of aids, and the death prior of the social enviorment of the individual as well as the creation of more fear of the alternate life style that has been related to the HIV/ aids.

I know look at a lot of the old art in a whole diferent manner.


His relation to the stations of the cross and the modern fear and attacks on both the gay comunity, even more enhanced by the aids does the job of getting his point across.

I never realy paid to much attention to his work. Find it unto itself bland, and even distasfull.
But his series does the job of getting his point across. I find a veiw that is rare in modern painting. A veiw is presented instead of some thing just to sell.

I see a man that can take an idea and place it in oil so that others can see if they look. Damn rare in todays world.

I just asked the roomie and he said contact gay bars and nightclubs/restaurants to feature it. Also, maybe contact an art gallery and see if they can lead you to ones that feature gay artists.

The art is amazing. Very Catholic looking too.

"Very Catholic looking too."
I agree. And Looking at some of the paintings he refered to the artist in some of the intervews you are correct.

I'm sure Trouble would be happy to help you out here. He seems to be very connected to the "gay world" if prior posts are any indication.
