Hi, guys! I am Zane Maxwell. 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 flower petals 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 paper 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 the men. By the way, the picture below is my self portrait after an extreme make over. artist







Greetings from my friends and customers:

Dear Zane,
You gave me your art work as a gift at my house warming party last year. You are very sweet. Mine is "Love Birds", so cute and sexy. Even my mother loves it. It is hanging in my living room. Every guest notices it and asks, "Who drew this?" I think you art work is going to be big and pricey someday. I want to have another one, "Abomination 2x". If I buy another house, will you give me that? Love ya, your friend, Joe

Dear Zane,
I purchased one of your art works. 2 guys are posing double biceps and wearing broken heart pendants. I fell in love with your drawing and everyday I was looking at it wishing if I could have a boyfriend like him... Believe it or not, a month later, I got him. He just came into my life so unexpectedly, long story but minimal efforts on my end. He had a pair of broken heart pendants also and said he was looking for his soul mate to give the other half pendant to. Isn't this story unbelievable? It really happened. Maybe, it was a coincidence. I don't know. but a friend of mine has some psychic power and he told me your painting carries a lot of loving and sensual energy and it calls that to my life. I heard a similar story about artworks in general, that they possess the artist's spirit and energy. Actually, that makes sense. Well, true or not, I love your painting and my new boy friend too. He was amazed as the guy with a cap on in your painting looks very much like him. Best, Keith

Hello Zane,
I received your art last week. It looks really nice, nothing like the original. I can even visualize you painting these gorgeous guys from your hot brush touches. When I saw your art titled Gay World Order, I had to have it. Your art is witty, parodic, also intelligent. sooo Kool! Keep up your good work. I'll be expecting your new editions soon. Thanks, David
