Hi, guys! I am Zane Maxwell from Hawaii. Thanks for checking out my art. I studied calligraphy and sumi-e(sumi ink paintings) in Tokyo, Japan. It was a new and fun experience, and I learned some effective techniques, but my teacher, an old Japanese woman made me draw bamboos and flowers day after day. It was tedious and boring. If my teacher had been an hot Japanese man, it wouldn't have been so bad.

Anyway, after a little while, I started sketching and drawing men in sumi ink. It was exciting, but the drawings looked too plain in monotone colors. So I used water colors instead on Shikishi(card board panels designed for calligraphy and sumi ink paintings). I liked the result. The men looked exquisite with distinctive brush touch and subtle bleeding on the paper. The challenge is that I can't make mistakes and re-touch because the paper is so sensitive and easy to bleed and peel. Just like calligraphy, the initial touch of a brush determines the final impression.

Models are inspired by the men I have known or met. So many hot looking guys I know? Yeah, because I look for them. I hope you will enjoy my style and men. By the way, the picture below is my self portrait after an extreme make over.
