A Guy From Russia (1) 1058
A cropped male nude fills the composition, with the torso turned in a slight twist that emphasizes the chest, abdomen, and arms. Soft digital modeling builds the musculature through layered tonal transitions and controlled highlights, giving the body a sculptural presence. The restrained sepia-pink palette creates an intimate, dramatic atmosphere.

Paul & John is a studio project exploring male identity through the digital gaze, so every work is a digital illustration drawn entirely by hand, and the references come straight from today's dating culture: the selfie, the mirror shot, the dick pic. The works reflect male sexuality, and with it the way men see themselves and choose to present themselves. They range from show-off moments in front of the camera to the deepest cellars of desire. The technique was born on a basic tablet and grew into a complete visual language: the quick hand movements of pencil work, combined with the elastic behaviour of acrylic paint, which gives the drawings the feel of exposed flesh. It's a personal project, and it's a couple's project. It lets us share very intimate moments with the world, and move between the introverted and the extroverted.
