This month I'm classin up my act.
This month's Q&A is with the incredible and sexy Michael Breyette. Michael's works are nothing less than amazing and defines the difference between porn and erotica. Believe me when I say I'm all about the porn, but erotica is just simply... SEXY! I love the way Michael's work kicks your imagination into gear. It's the same way a guy wearing a good pair of pants suggesting what's goin' on underneath is sexier than just putting it all out there. I could definitely learn a thing or two from Michael, hahaha!
In this Q&A, Michael gives us the goods on what gets him goin' and how he does it.
MICHAEL BREYETTE: An Insight
What trait do you like most about yourself?
"Empathy"
Which characteristic do you like least in others?
"Selfishness/self-centered"
Who is your favorite fictional villain?
"It's between Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh, those clowns cannot be for real"
Do you have any talents outside of art?
"Cooking, *%@$-ing and @*$#-ing"
If you had to replace your talent with another one, what would it be?
"I assume you mean my art talent and not the others I just mentioned? I think I'd like to write. I've dabbled and i enjoy the similar creative aspect."
How old were you when you came out?
"It was a slow process that probably started around 22, telling a few people here and there. By the time I was in my early 30's, it felt inconsequential to tell or not tell, I just started being myself."
How would you like to die?
"Absorbed by the sun when it turns into a red giant in a few billion years."
Michale Breyette!
It's clear that underneath all of that talent, is a sense of humor too. Thank you, Michael. It really was fun getting to know a little about you. It's always nice learn the artist behind such great work is just as likable. Folks, don't forget to get your 12 months of Michale's sexy work in his 2011 calendars.
Until next time, Have a great holiday season!

MICHAEL BREYETTE: Art
Do you have a favorite medium to work with?
"Pastels, as dirty as they are, I like the effect and they allow me to work."
Who were/are some of the biggest influences on your artistic style?
"Boris Vallejo, Michael Whelan, Patrick Nagel, Not sure how much of their style is reflected in mine, but their art inspired me."
What is your favorite part about drawing?
"The end result, that's why I do it. I'm not one of those artist who enjoys the process, I want to see the finished piece."
Is there anything you don't like to draw?"
"I used to have a longer list of things that caused me frustration, but I challenged myself and eventually figured them out. However, hands can still cause me problems, and patterned surfaces and fabrics like plaids are tough in pastel because I use my fingers a lot and it's hard to blend without blurring the lines and edges."
You are amazingly accurate in your paintings (if 'painting' is the right word). Do you work from pictures or do the studs in your work actually model for you?
"No real models unless I count myself. The rest are composites of various pieces and references to keep them realistic looking but are not real people as a whole."
What tools do you use to create your work?
"Before I grab paper, pastels, pastel pencils and an eraser to work on the actual piece, I develop my idea by building a blue print. I use various images and take photos (sometimes of myself), and cut and paste body parts together in Photoshop - cropping, rotating, resizing, etc. From that I make a drawing, tweaking, filling in gaps, etc. Then when I've worked everything out I get out the paper and pastels and begin what will be the final piece."
What projects are you currently working on?
"I'm always working on a new piece. Publisher, Brüno Gmunder, is considering a new book of my work, (if I have enough pieces to fill one) and I'm putting together my 2011 calendar."

MICHAEL BREYETTE: Sex
Top or Bottom:
"I actually live on the middle floor"
(I don't usually post this question unless someone answers they are only a top or bottom, but Michael's response made me laugh so I had to share...)
If you are a strict Top or Bottom, what would be the circumstances for you to flip?
"A Strict Top or Bottom. Sir, yes Sir!"
Sexiest part on a man:
"Coming - The eyes Going - The ass"
Do you have a "Type" and if so, what is it?
"I've only discovered this from looking at my body of work...but I guess it would be a guy that fits the average description of the figures I draw, plus sweet and funny. So you'll have to take a look and draw your conclusions."
Does your dick have a name?
"No, my other body parts are jealous enough. If I named my cock, I'd have to name all my parts"
Have you done porn?
"No comment"
Favorite position:
"The one where you put the thing in the thing and you both do that thing, right?...When the thing goes in the thing...ya know? And it goes back and forth...that one."
When does size matter?
"In real estate."
