William Bezek's "Wormwood Hollow"

Yo, what's up, dawgs? I'm here to pimp out my ho. Dang.

Actually, Will has created himself an on-line gallery, which is VERY cool. It's called: "Wormwood Hollow" (HOW'd you guess??) and he has a collection of some of his paintings, sculpture and Halloween art (Halloween to us is like gay Christmas) for sale there.

Please forgive me if you've noticed me advertising it in my sidebar.

And Thomas in Arizona! Thank you so much for your purchase! We hope that you enjoy the little bats.


I think that they are extremely cute as well. And Thomas? Thanks so much for telling Will to "poke Kevin for me", it turned into a brawl. So, thanks for that. You may have had something different in mind when you said, "poke", but we've been together for almost 6 years now, which translates to almost 42 years in gay years, so the only "poking" that's going on is irritating...and is usually followed by hair-pulling and scratching. And not in a fun way.

So, if you're so inclined to visit Wormwood Hollow or know someone who might be, we will be much obliged.

I LOVE the idea that he can represent himself. And is doing so...Needless to say, I'm very proud of him; of his immense talent and his courage.

Some examples, you ask? Well, funny you should mention that, I have some right here:


"Love" Oil on canvas, 18 x 24

Artist's note: "One of a series about love. It reminds me of life in wartime."

And...I'm hungry now.

Kissing AND cake?? I don't think it gets better than that.

Or does it?

Hheelllllooo, Mister...


"Vegas" Oil on canvas, 36 x 18

Artist's note: "Inspired by the pool paintings of Hockney. Painted with bold brush work and bright colors, this figure study of a bronzed male in wet shorts floating around the pool is titled "Vegas". The cropping of the head in my composition was to depersonalize the figure, furthering the idea of sexual eye candy. This painting is also about tension. Surface tension of water, sexual tension, tension of fabric straining, tension in a clenched fist."

And...I'm hot now.



"The Joker". It measures 10 inches tall, consists of composition clay and finished in oil paint and paste wax.


Artist's note: "The painted face had some personal meaning to me when I did it. Since the sad death of Heath Ledger and the media constantly running pics of him with The Joker make up running down his face, this sculpture has taken on a new meaning, so I'm calling it 'Joker'."


And...I'm melancholy now.



"Happy?" Oil on canvas 26 x 32

Artist's note: "Very surrealist. Thick impasto style brush strokes, very colorful."

And...I'm pensive now, wondering if I'm happy with all the masks I wear...

Artist's partner's note: "Art makes me hot. Woof."
