Cheesecake Boys
Welcome to the colorful world of the Cheesecake Boys!
I started this series because I was always fascinated with pinup art from the 40’s and 50’s. It was a more innocent time (at least on the surface), and I love the elaborate scenarios that artists like Gil Elvgren and Art Frahm concocted in order to justify disrobing their subjects. It struck me that male models were never portrayed in the same way. While it was considered sexy for a woman’s skirt to be ripped off before a crowd of oglers, male pinups of that era (beefcakes) were generally only exposed by choice. Times certainly have changed! Guys may have had a free pass on wardrobe malfunctions in the good old days, but now the Cheesecake Boys are here to even the score!
COLORING TIME!
At the Richmond Museum, we handle security breaches by going for the britches! This week’s free Cheesecake Boy coloring page catches French Baddie breaking in to steal one of the many male nudes on display, but displaying his own rear end instead. Someone’s going to feel a draft when he’s marched down to the police station! Fun fact: every piece of art in this illustration is one of my real paintings. Thanks to my friend French Baddie for inspiring this one!
