Bear and Otter

I wanted to do a painting about gay life again, because it’s been a while. (Last year, I did “Just a nice butt”.)

It’s just for fun, but also, I am a little worried that if I don’t do a gay-themed painting at least once a year, someone will revoke my “gay artist” status! 🤪

This painting is a little tribute to the photographer JJ Geiger. I noticed is work several years ago. When I look at his photos, I find them quite poetic. There is emotion in the photos, not just beautiful people (and nice butts).

Browsing through his Instagram, I noticed this photo of a couple.

I immediately thought: that’s a bear and an otter!

If these terms don’t mean anything to you, head over to Urban Dictionary and look it up. I’ll wait.

I hope that couples everywhere (not just bears and otters) will enjoy this family portrait!

Something a bit old, but the ideas are still new
