Tasty Beefcake Art By Rob Bartell

Rob Bartell is a Seattle-based artist who's on his way to becoming one of the Next Big Things in the gay art world ... and not only because his subject matter involves some, er, pretty big things. His depictions of bodybuilders, circuit boys and the random porn star go beyond mere beefcake: his portfolio displays a style, charm, and keen eye for sexy details like inviting smiles and sensual lips that set it apart from the the more explicit work of some of his contemporaries. In addition to displaying his work on his website and selling it on eBay, Rob also accepts commissions for custom portraits—so if you want to join dreamboats like Francesco D'Macho in his gallery of hunky muses, your wish is just an email (and a couple of hundred dollars) away.-RM
